Couple questions;
1. How do you like the Nitto Motiva tires? I have them on now and I think they are the worst tire I have ever owned. They are loud, grab every groove in the road and plain stink. I had Yoko 580's and they were night and day to this tire. Thinking of seeing if the tire shop will exchange them.
2. Did you have to mod the shift shaft to install the M45 ****? That is the shift **** I am wanting.

- no modding the shaft necessary to put the kn0b on; I just didn't reinstall the retaining clip. It stays on fine without it.

thanks, and...I actually don't disagree. it looks awful in pictures. It's better in person, but the real story is that they're covering up a gouge in the wood. It was the most elegant solution I could come up with, short of spending whatever ridiculous amount of $ to replace it.

yup, they're in tx
http://www.dallassteeringwheel.com/
it was about $350 or so - worth every penny!
The itg wheels are about $900, and they're certainly sexier, but not $550 sexier
