Lol at you guys getting butt hurt over sarcasm.
Did a track day yesterday in my crappy honda, and I don't mean lame ass drag strip.
I smoked a 911 turbo, cayman s, 2 lotus, corvette, 400 whp civic and more.
They all came up to talk to me wondering how a fwd honda can be so fast.
In a 20 minute session I lapped a focus st 3 times with a 12 year old honda. Ford got pwned.

Thanks, Tim. I'll be sure to text you some when I'm messing around in the car.

Decided to take advantage of some Black Friday deals. The stock shifter felt so sloppy and was a little sketchy going into gear at times. I ordered a short shifter, solid shifter base bushings, solid transmission bracket bushings, weighted shift knob, and a sound symposer delete. I didn't take any pics when installing the bracket bushings and symposer delete under the hood. My gloves were dirty and I just wanted to get finished at that point.
Shift knob is 1.125 lbs. It feels so much better than the OEM knob.

Makes a huge difference! Boomba makes great products, and I'm lucky enough to have them local here.
You didn't want to get a shifter plate? With the short throw shifter itself and the shifter plate, I'm at a 44% reduction.

I'd be in trouble if I had a company like Boomba local to me! I didn't get the shifter plate because I heard mixed things about it. Most guys swap it out for the Breedt arm and prefer that more. I've seen videos online with everything combined and the throw looks so short! I'm not so sure I'd want that much reduction.

Went to my friends house today to install the Milltek catless TBE. Everything went on without any issues and the quality is top notch. Luckily, my friend is even more OCD than me, so he had a process torquing the bolts down and getting everything lined up perfect. I'm still getting use to the sound. It's not an STi or Golf R when it comes to the exhaust note, but overall I am happy. It sounded much better when I let him do some drive-bys so I could hear it from outside the car. I also loaded my new tune and I'll be putting some miles on it before datalogging and getting the tune revised.

Very nice! I was originally going to go with the Milltek exhaust but ultimately decided on a Cobb package.
Hey I notice you are in Sarasota county... my parents have a place on Longboat Key. Love the area!

It sounds great! I love how an aftermarket downpipe really brings out the turbo whistle - it really puts a smile on my face.

I put together another video. I bought the suction cup mount before heading out, so this is my first time using the GoPro on the car. It was pretty fun and I'll probably start making more videos.

I have stuff planned out but it seems like every month something comes up and prevents me from pulling the trigger It'll be small, cosmetic things first and hopefully one day I'll be like J and Chip

Thanks! I'm loving the progress on your 5.0. I'd love to get one if I didn't need the extra space. One of my precious cars was a 99 Cobra.
