Dacib just sees how his performs , he doesnt do dumb **** like neutral drops or burn outs. In all honesty his car is cleaner in the engine compartment than mine(probably due to me having a vented hood for 5+ years, owell) and his interior is cleaner than mine, I'll blame that one on my kids

Arxylis, where have you been ?!!? I haven't seen a post from you in a while

Can you elaborate a little. Their website doesn't give to much info. I saw the picture with the parts but how do I install them? Where do they go?

You can find it but you'll never find it on an enthusiast forum.

If I were you, I'd just start hunting for a Sportback, should have no issues finding a stock one.

I've been lurking but haven't posted in a while. My Ralliart has been out of commission for nearly a year now... stripped the teeth off my timing belt while going down the highway...

Well I had the shift kit put in when I had my trans rebuilt. I'm not nearly knowledgeable enough with transmissions to know exactly what all goes where, but a shop can do it for a price...

Sorry to hear about yur timing belt... bad times brother.

How many miles were on your car when you got the tranny rebuilt? I'm thinking about doing mine but, I'm not sure if I should wait or not.

I'd say about 85-90k... it was rebuilt out of necessity though, I burned up a clutch pack from spinning the crap out of my wheels playing in the snow... I know, I'm pretty rough on the old girl, but its fun as hell. Back when I had disposable income I could do things like that.

I love the newer sportbacks, but the older ones look like a Hearse to me
