New to the g family + some mods that i've done.
 

Congrats on posting a fresh view of the G. And welcome!

What's wrong with your tranny.

Thanks for the warm welcome guys. The gears grind in every single gear above 4k rpm. Otherwise below 4k it shifts fine. What also puzzles me is that it also grinds if you depress the clutch in neutral about halfway. So i'm assuming the synchros are bad.

looking good!

So another thing about the trans or whatever is wrong with the car. The car, while in neutral, from time to time while you depress the clutch halfway. it will grind.

How long did it take to replace the radiator and, how's the fitment.

Hello and welcome to the G family! Thanks for joining us and showing your ride, it looks great! May it provide unlimited fun and unhampered travel across all terrains for as long as you two are together. Enjoy the time behind its wheel!

I want to say it took me about two hours for the entire process. Including the burping procedure. It's really quite simple nothing difficult about it.

There are some fitment issues with the mishimoto radiator. It's a little big, I have it against the condenser and it's still a little big being that it's a duo core radiator. Other than that, I have this radiator up till now and it works great!

Uh, the stock amber corners look WAY better than those eBay clears. If you want some JDM clears I have some bumps or non bumps I'll sell you if you wanna be a true gangster.

^ And I thought I was the only person on here who likes the amber side markers. Good, now I feel better.

It's all about the build. No one way is correct, but quality is always a must.

It's entirely subjective. haha. I don't like ambers or ever will. I do have amber bulbs in them.

:confused2:

How is the stock ambers better than the clears?? The clear corners he has on there looks just fine.

those ebay clear corners have a terrible pattern. look super cheap
