I just put on pc'd t/c rims with bridgestone potenzas. ******* car handles likes it on rails again, and it hauls even harder than the 17's I'd been rolling on. And just my luck....I got a nail in the rear driver tire....fuuuuuuuuh

Re-routed my charge piping and fixed some ghetto-ness in it. Idle is a bit better now with no miss-fires (yet) and afr a lot more consistant I need another source for vacuum though haha, so much off the one spot.

Would have to be a throttle body spacer with connections or something along those lines. The usual vacuum blocks for sale are pretty much just splitters/tee's and would still be off the same source - no benefit or difference to the current setup. And of course as far as I know there isn't any in production

Drove it, washed, got a missfire (during a 3-4 NLS) and my left rear tpms sensor stopped today.
The missfire was my first one, and yes the car was fully warmed up (I don't drive it hard when it isn't). Just washed it, but I have the k&n sri so it shouldn't have gotten wet.

Of all the mods I've done to this car the TWM was by far and away the worst money I've spent. It's the only mod I've done to this car the I wished I hadn't. Poorly engineered and manufactured. Missing the shift ball lock nut. I ordered the cable retainer and bushing kit and the lower ball wouldn't stay in the bushing for the cable retainer even with the snap ring properly seated in place. It popped out twice trying to get the cable adjusted. I don't have confidence it now at all. The reverse lockout wasn't machined well enough to make a really positive lock. It sits too high.
Add to that the fact that two of four factory bushings were seized to the mount bolts (NOT TWM's fault on that, NOT at all) and it was not a good experience putting this mess together and getting it adjusted.
If I hadn't cut up the factory shift knob I'd have put it all back in and sold off the TWM.
It's been the first mod on this car that I haven't been just totally thrilled with. Oh well, if this is the worst then I'm in pretty good shape.
