Pete, I'm sure I've seen them in the Help sections. Get the right thread pattern and length and you should be good.
That would require me to take the other one out, not gonna happen.

chu, i guess i need to suck it up and get used to it. i feel like the throttle pedal sits way too low to be braking and leaning your heel back enough to get the rpms to where they need to be. PLUS this drive by wire system is very inconsistent; sometimes you need to blip the throttle hard to get a response and sometimes very little to get the same effect. i don't know.
I believe its $27, $14 for the spring and $13 for the bolt.

No clue. Maybe Adam had it out, maybe he didn't. My downpipe has been in for a long time though probably 4yrs now.

I think I have 2. I'll have to look when I get home to see if I still have them. I didn't use them when I put on my Buschur exhaust.

That would be HUGE Brian!!! Please let me know what you find. I have to go back to DD'ing my car next week (rents will be in for the holidays and they'll have my other car) and I don't want any issues to arise.

The EVO is one of the easiest cars to rev-match downshift, but you need to use the clown foot method. its the same concept as heel-toe except you use the ball of your foot on the brake and roll the outside of your foot over to blip the throttle. Thats the only way I could ever do it. The standard "heel-toe" is too difficult.

i'll have to keep playing around with it. i did notice using the ball of your foot or even more towards the middle of the foot on the brake helps get to the throttle.

HAHA, I can't take credit for the name, the guys I do HPDE's with made it up because I have wide feet. Whether you heel-toe, clown foot or flinstone it, if you ever intend to do an HPDE learning how to rev-match downshift WHILE braking is very important to staying smooth and reducing lap times. I do it all the time on the street, so much so that just out of habit my first couple laps on the track I find myself using my turn signals while doing it.
