Re: GheyrodX - bigger, fatter, gheyer!
I'm going to see if WORKS is willing to give me any of their R&D data on various designs, test-drivers, etc. I tried getting in contact with TWM last week and got nothing but ignored.

I'd be interested to see the results of that. A shame that TWM hasn't gotten back to you.

Just the same dislikes as before. The transmission feels to notchy and I feel myself actually leaning forward to get into 5th. The WORKS just seems to be a better fit for me and feels much smoother. I definitely will not call the TWM bad, just not right for me. I'm actually going to be installing it in a local's car tomorrow morning.

You'll have to forgive my noobness, but I don't know what part of the car that is. Should I be checking that area of mine as well?

Looks like a sway bar bushing to me.

Re: GheyrodX - bigger, fatter, gheyer!
In better news, I did get the WORKS shifter reinstalled this morning and I also completely removed my rear o2 sensor since I had it disabled anyway.

Re: GheyrodX - bigger, fatter, gheyer!
It's a Whiteline rear swaybar bushing.

Re: GheyrodX - bigger, fatter, gheyer!
I already heard back from Whiteline and they're getting a replacement shipped today from their US distributor! It's nice having a product that you know will be backed up if it fails.

Re: GheyrodX - bigger, fatter, gheyer!
New Whiteline bushings installed along with the new Whiteline saddles. This bushing/mount setup is a bit wider than the original set so it should be a bit heavier duty while providing more bar stability.

Re: GheyrodX - bigger, fatter, gheyer!
Biggest Evo X intercooler core on the market as far as I'm aware:
MAP prototype FMIC
20"x14"x3.5" = 980 ci
There are much bigger cores available for the VIII and IX, but the X has less space, but does utilize a much more effective endtank in/outlet design.
