Well after your post i think am chaining it down :lol::lol:

I think you should get it on your list cause the 6 speed is different animal. The response and short gear ratio shifting are just amazing.

Sucks thought i can only use 1st & 2nd gear then after i put on Drive and it has a brain of it own i got no control at all except my foot i hope someone make a controller for it soon cause i cant imagine how awesome it be with steering wheel paddle shifter.

Re: "Brain check" Project

Main body paint got decided almost close to my old paint job but looks nicer? What do you guys think ;)

Frame paint color suggestions needed ? Thinking about Metallic Silver with blue powder coated front end.
