I think the country bumpkins in Mississippi who sold me the 86 know not to bother.

Jeep dealer has new gusto right now since our loan is coming to a close.

Summers on and I gave it a wash. Already covered in pollen. Continentals are at 8/32 with 4,371 miles on them.

Also took a video of a cold start.

I tried getting a video doing a pull but apparently you can't record video while connected to carplay.

A CSL with track wrap on it? I was going to do the same thing if I took delivery at the performance center.

Auto solutions short shifter is IN. 22.5% reduction :muah:

Exactly what I wanted. That rubbery feel is gone and the 22.5% reduction feels perfect. Any shorter might be too short.

This is awesome. How’s the rows been since you’ve put this in? Link to the kit you installed?

Pretty great. I drove it all weekend and I think I'm used to it already. I don't feel like side to side movement was affected too much if at all. Rogue makes a bushing for the rear carrier but IIRC the Auto Solutions guy says it's unnecessary and I'm inclined to believe him after driving mine. Not sure why you'd want the shifter any tighter, especially for daily driving. The Auto Solutions kit also replaces the forward bushings on the shifter arm whereas the Rogue kit replaces the entire arm itself.

His website looks like it's from 1995 because it probably is but the shifters are made to order. Once you fill out the form you go back and forth a few times with him to determine the specs like throw reduction, height, other mods, and so on.

That’s sick! Seems like an easy enough mod. His website does look very turn of the 19th century…. Looks like he makes them for the F30 as well. Maybe the village trike will get an upgrade to get me through the rest of the year. I wish I knew someone who had done this in my gen car so I could drive it.

Thanks dude

I'm sure it'd be better. EuroFed on Old Pineville is kind of pricey but they could install it I'm sure and it's a nice outfit. I think I was having problems and had them diagnose a wheel speed sensor for an hour of labor then did the repair in my driveway like a poor. The guys thought the car was neato.

Beware. Get estimates from shops first as this isn't a DIY install. I got quotes from indie shops ranging from $350 to $1000 for install. PA Euros quoted me $350 at 2 hours but it still took about 3 and a half hours to complete.

It's not like the VW's I'm used to where the shifter mechanism is right in the engine bay. Car has to go up and down on the lift a few times.
