9/22/2018 - In Which Our Heroes Go For A Cruise

Next phase (after cleanup) was test drive, and Rusty toured me around some of the fine and winding roads of western PA, ending in the Ohio Pyle park. Very pretty area, and apparently ideal for whitewater rafting! Back to his place, said goodbyes and thank yous to both Rusty and Chris for their hospitality, and then it was back to my side of the state.

I'm overall quite pleased with the modifications. The change in gear oil has resulted in quieter and smoother shifting, and the bushings (in conjunction with the metal subframe bushing collars and poly transmission mount) make for a more solid feel which is very apparent both in a launch and during 1-2 and 2-3 shifts. A lot of drivetrain slop is gone, and my acceleration has improved. I'd like to compare the feel of the poly bushing to a solid bushing at some point, just curious how much of a difference that would make. This concludes my update for now, though I'll be adding some pictures shortly.
