I understand but for some reason those all black rays just don't seem to do justice to the car. I believe wheels in gunmetal or silver would add some contrast and depending on the design really make your car "pop". Either way, nice progress so far.

 

I agree with you in all honesty. Once I get the hood and skirts done I'll probably have the fronts redone in gunmetal with a multicolor flake and neochrome KICS for summer use. I actually prefer the fitment of the fronts to the rears on the car after a year or so with them.

You have a good eye sir. And thank you, I feel like it's coming along.

 

I appreciate that you put a lot of effort into that shift ****. And I recognize that people have some kind of connection with Tommy Kaira... but it's an abstract thing for me that I don't get and don't share (like Country Music, LOL). Both Mike and Kevin had that **** on their 6MT last year, so I had a chance to see and touch it first hand. If there's some kind of magical property to the Tommy Kaira ****, I seem to be immune to it. Bummer for me, I guess.

It looks... OK, I suppose. Neither better nor worse than the OEM ****. However, it does have more appeal for me than what Brad did today. It looks less butt-pluggy, which can only be a good thing.

I'm sorry, man. You mentioned my name, so I assume that you assume I'm reading this, which I am. And from that I assume that you're curious what my opinion is. So... there it is.

 

John I am always interested in your opinion. And I think that less butt pluggy has to be a good thing?

For me, for now, it's the only one I'm aware of in the US and I like it better than the OEM ****. Will I like better than the M45 once I have a perforated shift boot on there? I don't know yet to be honest. For right now it seems to have fixed the problems I was having actuating the shifter and I like the heft of the TK ****. The fact that it's rare appeals to me from a "my car is special" perspective. The purple **** I'm having made may just be a paperweight I don't know yet.

Mostly though I wanted to be able to complain with you MT guys about the hot and cold **** so now I'm in that club 7AT or not.

 

Rare is cool. And the turtle kind of works with the color in your wood trim.

What are the little holes in the side for?

 

Those are for the grub screws so it seats and stays on. This one is not threaded. The adapter kit for the threaded ***** will be slightly different than this one.

 

Ouch

 

Uh-oh. Sorry, boss.

 

This man has style n taste oozing out of him! I'm sure he's busy at work so I thought I'd throw the picture up. Nice work Chris.

 

Pics of the new grille

CF framed mesh grille with black reflective Fuji




CF rear window spoiler coming and then I have some parts I'll need to have done custom it looks like.

 

Now that's looking good. Is that a trunk lid Fuji?

 

It is yes. I may try and go with a 56 Fuji at some point, we'll see.

 

Grill looks superb, can't wait to see it installed

And John, from a pure plug function I'd imagine yours would plug much better than mine

 

Deflect! Deflect!



You always get credit for trying new things and thinking outside the bum.

 

Love that grille!!!
