that would be myself and dave.
on a side note, does anyone have problems with their gearbox sticking? i was driving the other day, and noticed occasionally my gearbox would stick in a track. the car wasn't in gear, no grinding or and noise. if you picture the ferrari shift gates, it feels like one of the 'legs' on the metal plate would be longer coming out of first. here is an awful picture to maybe help clarify.

!I'm having the same issue that your describing. Its part of the reason why I was sucking at the flashlight drags. I could not shift into 3rd gear at high rpms - it only seems to occur at the high rpms for some reason
. I keep hearing that the solution is stiffer shifter bushings and a solid front motor mount.

Hey, Congrats Colin and Dave! Saw the pics on facebook Colin, you looked like hell but at least the wife looks great !
I'm having the same issue that your describing. Its part of the reason why I was sucking at the flashlight drags. I could not shift into 3rd gear at high rpms - it only seems to occur at the high rpms for some reason . I keep hearing that the solution is stiffer shifter bushings and a solid front motor mount.

and travis, don't get too excited. there aren't the kind of bushings that you like.
-edit-
and congratulations colin!

FMIC looks real nice man. I personally say F uck that undertray. Just makes wrenching and doing maintinence on the car too damn hard. Its one thing if its got real fastners to loosen and tighten but those plastic ****z 
I personally liked the APR front tray cause you could unbolt it along with the bumper cover all in one piece with real fasteners. But its a damn heavy piece of carbon fiber and always worried me out on the highway doin some topender's hahaha
