Just got done with the shifter. Pretty easy job especially because I did it before on my 97. Almost cut my finger off trying to use a pair of wire cutters as retaining ring pliers but I survived

Next week I should be greeted with 15ft of vac line and some other goodies...

Yay!

I think karma has come back to bite me in the ***. I think I ordered the wrong extended bolts the other night. I need 14mm instead of 12mm. I'm not sure which one I ordered though...

no worries, you can always return them right? I can't wait to see pics with those spacers on, they should look sick

You're going right? I want (need) to see your ****** *** again soon.

Just discovered this morning that if i turn the sunroof switch a couple clicks shy of fully opened, that buffeting goes away. Maybe thats why they put a little mark right there? lol

got 15' of silicone vac line in the mail today, plus i bought a piece of that 3M DiNoc stuff they sell on ECS. The trim around my shifter is all scratched and jacked up, so i covered it to make it match the rest of the dash. Took me about an hour, and with a hair dryer and a little bit of jimmying i think it turned out really well.

replaced every vac line i could find. I don't think i had any huge leaks or anything but my vacuum at idle went up to about 22 in. hg. so it definitely wasn't a terrible idea.
