My Build Thread - bordering on more BS! 56K Beware
#1363
"Don’t be fooled into thinking that all shifter cable bushings are created equal. Many companies make the mistake of assuming both bushings used in the k-series shifter cables can be replaced with solid metal or delrin bushing. This is not the case. Honda uses rubber bushings in their cables because it’s a cost-effective way to allow 2-degrees of freedom. A solid metal or delrin bushing allows only 1-degree of freedom. Generally speaking, eliminating a degree of freedom in the bushings translates into more effort required to shift and the potential to bend and ruin your shifter cables.
That’s why the Hybrid Racing incorporates a chrome-plated steel spherical bearing into their shifter bushings. This gives the crisp, notchy feel you expect from shifter bushings without the extra effort required to shift, like other brands of bushings."

So I was searching around for some carbon hood and trunks and came across your car.
Just curious if you know they are using your picture ?
I thought you had a VIS hood.

I honestly didn't notice that much of a difference. The spherical bearing is nice though and I could get into reverse much easier. If I didn't have the $71 to burn, I wouldn't have gotten them.

Its being taken care of.
I was on "vacation".
Huge difference between the the HR and the Corsports. Shifting is much smoother, I was honestly surprised with the difference since I wasn't expecting much.
#1372
I noticed the difference when I installed them. Much easier and smoother to go into gears for me now, especially 2nd. Worth the money imo.

Yea, but if you run the Corsport bushings, make sure you lube them regularly otherwise they will seize on the shaft and cause a bit of binding, making gear selection a bit harder. Im still amazed at how smooth it goes through the gears now.

Honestly, Im not trying to push Hybrid Racing products because I think theyre overpriced, but the bushings really are top notch.

You would have been better off starting a new thread (or searching) instead of posting in someone else thread.

Its still for sale. He made 301whp IIRC. I dont remember the torque number. That could be from the TL-S cams or because it was a different dyno. We never got to run them together sadly.

Looking forward to the results. If possible, take lots of pictures. hehe
I'm on the fence, waiting to see if this turns into a charlie foxtrot. I hope not for the sake of us all and the vendor.

Im on the verge of needing new mounts and figured Id get them while they were $260. If they work, excellent, if they dont, Ill go back to OEM + poly like I would have since it would have cost roughly the same plus time filling them.

its actually 275wtq, the graph is highlighting the torque number at the same rpm as the peak hp number, while peak torque is about 500rpms lower.

You know what made me want to do a 3.7 ?
Because I seen I post on v6pee that said:
"I wish I was a baller like fast eddie so I coiuld get me a J37" .
Stupid maybe but,that little bs that gave me a push.
O yea and put down un heard of n/a numbers in a P.
Just waiting for a member to get back with me and I got some p2r j37 regrind sticks heading into the collection of parts.
only mechanical parts left are valve springs and off to the machine shop to get the compression up and possibly some .
Shooting for charger #'s I can say that.
