Something different...
Kartboy front and rear endlinks.

Hoping for the GTWorx RCE/Bilstein group buy to happen towards the end of the year and then I'm pretty much done with the suspension/handling side of the car.

Firstly a big thanks to Doug, Damien and the team at STechnic.

The car received the 50,000km service as well as having the following parts installed.
  • Whiteline Rear Diff Positive Power Kit
  • Whiteline Gearbox Positive Shift Kit
  • Kartboy Front Shifter Bushing
  • Kartboy Rear Shifter Bushing
  • STI Group N Transmission Mount
  • STI Group N Pitch Stop Mount
  • STI Group N Right Side Engine Mount
  • STI Group N Left Side Engine Mount

Pros:
-play with the gear shifter is all but gone now, shifts are direct and precise
-gearbox doesn't seem to flex or move around as much as it used to
-rear diff feels firmer and doesn't clunk any more
-very little increase in NVH

Cons:
-with the gearbox being firmed up, you can hear the gears a bit, more so when decelerating (however I don't mind this)

Overall I'm very satisfied with the change and would do these modifications again if I had a new car.

If you take the back seats out you can pretend you're a rally driver with cool gearbox + bushing noise from the rear end. Its awesome, well for a little while.

Good to know NVH isn't as crazy. Xmas presents for myself methinks.

Tony, too much suspension bits now, must offset with TD05-20G upgrade to enable skids once more + paint wheels black. Lol.

One left on the list before the suspension side is done.
Next on the list will be a new set of wheels & rubber.
Have some plans already for engine mods, unfortunately a TD05 isn't one of them
