Went ahead and ordered the AMS Gate Selector Bushing, Works Shifter Base Bushings, and Works Short Shifter. Ugh.

If I were to trade in my Evo, realistically I would get a Lexus IS-F or fantasize getting a GTR haha.

I was looking into IS-F's and CTS-V's as well, but they are ridiculously priced with lower mileage. One can dream though.

Ordered a Dr. ColorChip kit for a few chips on my roof.

Dunno' if anyone's ever used this stuff before, but I had great results while touching up the dozen or so chips on the hood of my Subaru. Turns out pretty good as long as you take your time and layer on the paint. I might post a before and after.

Picked up a Speed Bleeder and plan to remove the Clutch Restrictor Pill this weekend. Sounds promising.

Just swapped in some German Castrol and Redline Cocktail.

I'll post in a few days as to whether or not I notice any significant change in either category.

Started installing the Works Under-Hood Bushings and AMS Gate Selector Bushing, which was pretty straight forward, then dropped the smaller Works bushing. I've got this car sitting so high in the air, without a tray, and still can't find it. Went ahead and ordered another set, but hopefully I can find it tomorrow while it's still light outside. So pissed.

So everything's installed.

Lost that little "Rabbit-Ear" Clip for the smaller cable bushing, but ended up making everything work out by dremeling off the plastic lip and using a hitch pin.

Shifting requires a bit more force than before, but almost all of the grinding is gone.
Transmission's still notchy, but that was expected. No big deal.

The only thing I would've done differently is ordered the heavier Flossy Shift Knob.

Also.. decided I'll be going with a Tomei Turbo-Back.

It's pretty tough trying to find a pleasing exhaust note after coming from a Subaru.
