How many resistors did you have to install? I like the idea of the LEDs, but not the resistors.

Get something like this. I have several, and I paid less for them. You insert the wire into the jaws and squeeze. It strips the insulation off the wire.

What's even better is that it works in the center of the wire, so it makes it very easy to tap into it. Just grip anywhere on the wire and squeeze the handles. It will pull back the insulation from about 1/2" of wire.

Honestly, I'd like to say 30%+ in breaking responsiveness. Immediately felt the difference after the install. I haven't really tested during spirited driving conditions yet, still breaking in the new tires before I push it a little harder.

Sounds good, or perhaps bad- now I have to buy a set. Thanks for being the test case, at least I haven't seen any others running similar on the GK.

All 4 Fenders finally rolled! Next is alignment, going to add about -0.8 to -1.0 Camber to front.


Thanks Anthony aka @TheRubDoctor, follow him on IG for your suspension setup needs!

I installed a Buddy Club short shifter (about a week ago), then tonight I finished it off by putting on a threaded shift boot collar to keep the boot from flopping around.

I had to drill out the bottom of the collar a little bit to allow it to fit the over the shaft and sit a bit lower.

I originally had the boot held in place with a zip tie, but the bulky connector part was bulging through the boot.
It probably would have put a hole through it eventually, so I took it apart and tied a bunch of thread around. Very secure now.

Looks good. Much better than the red. The center caps look factory!

I like the Ultraleggera. I had a set on a previous car.
