In the wrong forum TTP?

The two guys in Norcal burned and warped their forks and sleeves on stock power, on the open track.

It will be fine on the street unless your commute to work is a race track.

Thats interesting because from what I have read (owners manual and other sources) resting your hand on the shifter for prolonged amounts of time puts un-necessary stress on the shift fork and can bend it and damage the sleeves. Its very rare but supposedly happens after a prolonged time ...

Voidhawk was under the impression that's what happened to his. Did you establish that was not the case on another site (e.g. SoCalEvo)?

Nope. And I've been too busy at work to pursue getting more people interested.

All we have to do is donate $10. If so, I'm willing to be a donor also. We should get this going guys, this is important to alot of us with the 6spd, and can be the best thing we do for the community later on down the road, who knows.
