A host of changes
Just got my car back from Speed Gallery where I got a few bling and performance mods.
1. OEM Tequipment Short Shifter - Wow. This thing feels like a high effort Miata. Shifts so fast you have to wait a split second longer between pressing the clutch and shifting.
2. Installed Arctic Center console - Thanks Bumper Plugs
3. Installed FVD airbag steering wheel - Looks awesome and tightens up the steering a bit due to smaller diameter. Needs a tinge more effort, but feels much more sporty.
4. Raised PSS9s about 3/4". The car feels a little softer, but you can feel the suspension actually working. That's a good trade off IMO. The car no longer feels like it bounces off bumps and does not un-settle so easily on un-even pavement which detracts from the fun and can be dangerous. Added a bit of camber and Toe in the front as well to add bite and grip.
5. Installed fix in the EVO box. Hopefully that will stop the MAF eating tendencies. I'll update as we go. Thanks to Mike at EVO.
If you haven't been to Speed Gallery, it's about time you go.

Ari now about you, congrats man those are some nice upgrades. Always feels great to get suspension to your liking, i realizing going so low and "slamming" a car makes it so much more unenjoyable in multiple ways!
Did you get other goodies that are going on as well??

That's just what I've decided to call my Protomotive setup. When all is said and done, '950' might need to be changed to an even higher number.
