Changed all the oils today. I don't know if its a placebo effect, but transmission ALREADY feels a good deal more smooth on the way from the shop.
The real test will come on monday when I have to go to work and its sat overnight and super cold. It shifts like butter when hot, but absolutely SUCKS when cold.

How are the seats working out? Any regrets? Did you take any pictures of the mountings? Mine are in very sad shape and I can't seem to find anyone with a decent NB1 set that they want to part with, so I'm looking at options. I have an old Sparco Sprint in the garage, but it dislikes me and the feeling is mutual.

I'm back on stock NB2 seats. I'm too big to fit into any aftermarket bucket and be comfortable on my morning commute to work @ 4AM, so I sold them. They felt great, night and day over stock, but hard to get in/out of (as any race bucket is) and just didn't cut it for me overall. Lesson learned: don't buy aftermarket buckets unless RACECAR.
I'll be selling these real good condition NB2 seats soon too though
Have a set of NB1's just re-upholstered with brand new genuine leather that will be going in.

I kinda feel the same way. I had to take a high-lift jack to the Sparco to "open" it slightly so my ribcage would fit comfortably. The seat is awesome at the track where I feel like my body is bolted directly to the car, but daily driving or distance its a bit overkill. I can't spread my legs AT ALL and the 'boys' don't appreciate it on any kind of roadtrip.
I'll be driving through Sac on the 14th, 16th, 21st and 25th. Whatchoo want for dem NB2 seats?
I seriously considered going 2 tone black and tan in the interior and getting a set of 2 tone Katzkins to match, but then I remember I'd probably just ruin the leather and then feel bad.

Me rikey! Get good pics of the install this time, I want to see how badly I failed at everything.
Can-do! Do you have an NB2 midpipe with good cat in your mess of parts? Dec 16 I'll be driving through Sac with an empty Ford Escape, plenty of room for activities.
