Spamby's '08 STi

[Spamby]

Here's to ya JJ!

Got some stickers today. Gonna see if I can drum up more interest for the site.
I slipped and sticker bombed the wife's car. She is going to be pissed when she finds out! She hates stickers on cars. We'll see how long 'till she notices.

Very nice.

Thanks for trying.

Here is the new IGOTASTi shift knob.

You can see the difference in size compared to the old Cobb knob. The IGOTASTi knob is also noticeably heavier. Overall feel is good.

I'm happy!

 

[IGOTASTi]

Very nice.

Glad you like it.

Just gotta get used to the new feel. As of now it feels like it might engage gears quicker, with the weight and all.

Tomorrows supposed to be 102* so I'll let you all know how hot she gets. lol

 

[IGOTASTi]

It doesn't get hot, lol.

When we designed it I went through like 22 test runs until we got the perfect weight, feel, and design just right for the STi transmission.

I might get hot touching it! Lol

Can't wait to bang some gears in traffic tomorrow.

Can't wait to see what you think.

that's the only thing i don't like about the flossy knob. it gets pretty hot. I just put my beret or patrol cap on it (whichever i'm not using) though.

So the knob was hot, not scorching but hot. Windows cracked. 15% tint and sunshade on the front. Still good in my book. Outside temp at work was about 101*.

Grasp of the knob was more confident and substantial than Cobbs. Hitting gears was more confident and firm. I have small hands so I was a bit worried about it feeling like a bowling ball.

Overall it is a nice knob. No joke, I really didn't expect to be that impressed with something so minor but alas, I was.

Awesome! Thank you for the feedback.

We wanted to make something that no one else had.

Cleaned the inside of the car today. It would have been a year in September since the last time I did it! Lol
Couldn't wait any longer... stinky and the rags were black when I got done.

Also ordered AccessTuner Race tonight. Gonna see if I can't blow up some shit!

Damn man, you have to clean that interior way more frequently than that! I do my windows every couple of months and a vacuum once a month. I wipe my dash and doors every week or so. I hate seeing the inside filthy! :lol:

I spent 5 hours on it. Shampoo the whole works.
Honestly, it really didn't look that bad but the towels said differently.
Wife said it smelled like sweaty ass. Like how I smell when I get home from work. A unique stench of sweat and burnt metal. (You know this smell if you cut and weld a lot)

The how to is to clean it more often. Lol.
I had also ordered some stuff from Detailers Domain which gave me some good motivation.

Sonax for the wheels.
Wheel woollies in three sizes.
Artist paint brush for the cracks and crevices.
Soft leather cleaner and conditioner for the seats.
