They did not drop the transmission. I can only imagine the fit EW would have thrown

He responded yesterday that he'd try, but due to mother's day..... Which I totally forgot about because I have no mother worth caring about.

Im sure he will get to me within the next few hours. The guy really is always available to work with. It would be perfect to play email tag with him today since I took today off. Get tuned and be ready before the day is even over with.

No updates or word FROM Seb yet sadly. The few times I tried to play with the throttle, the car hesitated deeply at 6k rpm and wouldn't go any higher. Gear shifts are stupidly smooth now and the clutch pedal is out of this world! The travel action is buttery smooth and I maybe have to press the clutch down a whole 2 inches to shift.

I'll be working on a block off plate for the oil cooler today. Temps barely got above 160F late last night due to it only being 55F out upon reaching home.

All in all. Very impressed and will only get better once Seb begins working with me. I owe those Michigan guys a lot!

Thats the danger zone.. thats where you gotta be careful

Yea. I left it alone and just kept it on cruise the whole way back. I only had to do 1 or 2 hard launches to get up to speed. The car handled beautifully. It won't be driven much until Seb begins work now.

Im still doing a block off plate just to be on the safe end. Just a quick aluminum sheet and some velcro. Hahaha.

Pretty sure the last one I installed took less time to install that it took to remove the OEM pedal. It was about 30 minutes total. After so many installs, I now know exactly which sockets and extensions and ratchets work best in the cramped space.

Don't want to be driving for any length of time at temps much lower than that. The oil temp gauge inside the car reads about 20F low from what I can tell and you generally want oil temps to hit at least 180F.

yeah brother, them oil coolers do some funky stuff to your oil temps, its amazing how fast the temps can fluctuate.

eastwest2300 · 05-14-2018, 10:42 AM

I just installed mine yesterday. Easy! Did cut my knuckle pretty badly though under the dashboard... 14mm nut broke loose very abruptly on one of the switches. The only annoying part was trying to get the limiter switch wire clip with needle nose pliers... that took me probably 10 minutes.

Leingod · 05-14-2018, 10:46 AM

Yea. Plate is def being made Nd going on today. Not risking anything for a simple 5 minute fix.

Leingod · 05-14-2018, 10:46 AM
