Okay I made Red Rocks this year. I still have a few things not finished. So figured I better get on it.
1. Build new center console (This will be my 4th one & hopefully I can get it how I want it this time) Got the main frame together. Putting some carpet on the sides tonight. 2. I pulled the targa top off my 73 Resto & the seals are all original. Made a trip to 914 Rubber yesterday. Got the rear targa seals along with the top window seals. Got those all in today with a little help from my wife. I forget what a PITA those seals can be getting in. Used dish soap to help them slide in. Wasn't until I had my wife guiding & feeding from the top. While I was pulling on the bottom that I got them in. Tried for a while myself but didn't make much progress. Took 5 minutes with her helping. 3. Install 914 Rubber sun Visors I ordered in the group buy. I got those in but they do scrape a bit up top when folding down to up. Issue is I have the mirror that replaces the center post mount. That is just not a perfect setup but so much nicer than gluing the mirror on the windshield. Still happy with the new visors even if the do scrape just a bit. 4. Need to give it a serious wash. Do some touch up work for various chips. Then give it a good wax. 5th. Oil change & just check all fluids in general. 6th. Need to make some carpet changes with my center console. Anyway kind of a lame post but haven't made one in quite a while. Been driving my 2.0 turbo suby conversion & enjoying it. Attached image(s) |

Looks great Jamie! So how does the Zero Decibel compare to the MR2? Smoother shifting? More precise? It definitely looks cool and a lot sturdier.

Looks great Jamie! So how does the Zero Decibel compare to the MR2? Smoother shifting? More precise? It definitely looks cool and a lot sturdier. I'd say it is a little smoother but it is negligible. Probably not enough to justify the expense if you already have the mr2. It is definitely easier to mount & cleaner. I do love the look of it although I put my right cable on the wrong side of my shifter. Cable should be sitting on the left side of the tab not the right. How do you like the placement of my AFR gauge? With that big opening in the middle. Figured why not just stick it there. |
