Mounted 1 to see the fitment, clears front/back brembos. Very slight poke on the front and flush in the rear. Rear will need to be rolled and front might need to be lifted up a tad bit. Need to order the damn center caps, forgot about that.

Once I get everything to clear correctly, time for the body shop hunt.

lol, my drip moldings were crap anyway. I think it was about 30 clips. I did get a deal on both drips and all the clips for $340, not too mad at the price.

I'd do the Evo8 1st and 3rd, straight cut 1:1 ratio 4th, Evo9 or JDM 5th, and 4.11 final drive.
So I have a 03 8 I’m trying to do a full trans rebuild I’m trying to figure out who I should send to. Companies I thinking about are English and Shep. What’s y’all’s recommendation?

I've got <2k miles on it, I think. haha.


Current issue right now is the transmission lock out. Weird, I last drove it a few weeks ago just fine, started it up the other day and now I'm locked out of all gears while the car is started. When the car is off, I can move through all gears fine. The slave cylinder is moving the fork, no missing brake fluid from the res. Going to try and adjust the clutch pedal next week to see if that works.

Always something.

Pretty much almost maxed out the clutch pedal adjusting and I'm slightly able to get the car into gear.
