TerribleONE's FINAL build thread!

[TerribleONE]

Wow just realized how long its been since I updated this.

The bad: Unfortunately my amuse rear strut bar was returned all the way to Japan because the *** hats at USPS "attempted" to deliver it to my house but did not leave any notices/calls nothing. When I finally got around to checking the tracking and saw it was being held and was about to be returned to sender I rushed over to the post office and it was no where to be found. Lance @ NLP is being extremely helpful and I am sure we will get it figured out but I am still really irritated and am waiting to install my harness bar since I will have that part of the car apart anyways.

The good: Everything else has come in and the harness bar looks pretty sweet as well as the top secret oil cap and zele CF radiator shroud. Also ordered the Amuse shift knob from bulletproof so I can switch between that and the hebi bebi.

Here is a picture of the zele CF radiator shroud, and one of the car incase you forgot what it looks like

Update: After a few calls to USPS trying to get them to own up to their mistake and at least pay half of the shipping to send the bar to me again with no luck I gave up and paid another 150$ to ship the bar all the way back from Japan. Lesson learned forsure as I do have to accept responsibility for not looking at the tracking I just had a lot of other things going on at that time.

That kinda crap happens... Sorry brotha. I have had the same issue with USPS on another part as well.

Atleast it is still on its way over haha hopefully it goes well this time. I have been thinking of getting the new R1 shift knob, but I know the TK is heavier by a good 50 grams. I think the R1 is around 460g and the TK is 509g.

I want to get one... lol temptations

Yea I am going to watch the tracking like a hawk this time.

I don't know the exact weights on each knob but that sounds about right. The TK knob is definitely heavier but the R1 knob looks better IMO.

I plan on keeping both.

I would assume haha, I would be watching it constantly. Check it like 3 times a day lol
Message to USPS: I want to know what your longitude and latitude coordinates of your ship 3 times daily! lol

That was my plan too if I end up getting a new shift knob, the TK does get dirty easily from being my daily shift knob plus sun damage from being in the sun a lot of the day. I've cleaned and polished it a couple times and looks brand new for a while each time.
I was checking into the price on the R1 and have been on the edge of buying it. I may end up just pulling the trigger and saying screw it

I would go for it man I think the price is more than reasonable.

Especially compared to what I paid for my TK lol....

I also am probably going to end up pulling the trigger on the RJM v3.1 pedal and RJM MSC replacement as well. As long as I can get the MSC without waiting a long period of time. James was telling me that the MSC is on pre-order I believe. I'd have to double check my pm's
