- Some additional dashboard vibrations between 1,500 and 2,500 RPM
- Major improvement in overall responsiveness and steering sensitivity

Overall, this is definitely not as bad as folks make it out to be and I am very pleased with the outcome. I would not recommend it for a daily driver though however for a weekend/street/track car, this is bearable. The increased performance certainly outweighs the additional NVH noted above. Hope this helps!

Definitely does! Thanks. I had hard poly for transmission mounts in the Z and the resonance was totally John Deere tractor like. I'm guessing the frequency here is a bit different. I need to refurb these in my track car, might give these a try. (It's a weekender only that I drive to/from the track, not a DD).

I bought 4 new center caps and a steering wheel trip kit today. I first looked at eBay prices and found a guy selling legit center caps for $20 a piece. I thought that was a decent price and almost bit. I then checked for steering wheel trim and it was way too much. Over $300. I thought to myself why not try the dealer? I've gone down that road before and they were cheaper last time! It was the same way this time again. The dealer only wanted $12 a piece for the center caps and the trim kit was $254. So never count the dealer out because you think they will be more expensive because chances are they won't be. I'm happy

That reminds me that I need to get one. Early in the winter it sprang a leak and I have dried up washer solvent everywhere now.

Wiechers bolt-in club sport roll bar with X-Bar option came in today and began installing it. Still need to button it up and mount my seats/belts but this thing is a perfect fit! DIY install coming soon.

koruptor · 03-26-2018, 10:36 PM

I bought some LED bulbs for the interior. Haven't arrived yet, but I'm expecting some significant performance gains once I have them installed.

Koni shocks all around

Got the eBay $27.38 satin black grilles. Took the chance they were legit...they're really very nice. Appear identical to the originals. Took 2 weeks to get from China to my mailbox.
