I added second skin damplifier to the doors and a little bit of luxury liner pro on the shifter. The damplifier on the doors really helps get rid of the rattling noise the doors do when you close them or when hitting a bump, they definitely feel and sound more solid. Another good thing I noticed is that the speakers sound a little bit louder and clearer with more bass. Got some positive results also from the luxury liner pro that I put on the shifter because it quiet down the rattling that it would sometimes get. Now the only thing left is to put some rubber undercoating on the fender wells to help some with the road noise.

HereIis where I'm at...
Last month I had my BMR K member, A arms, manual rack, (and every other part BMR offers) installed. Everything was perfect...except the 275 Nitto 555's were a pain to drive with especially when going slow or stopped. No biggie to me really but I thought in the off chance that my wife had to drive it..it coukd be unsafe. Soooooo..i ordered up a set of new (smaller) rim halves from Fikse and picked up a new set of 215's. Took a couple days but I disassembled the rims..reassembled them with the new rim.halves let th sealant set up and today had the 215's mounted and balanced. HUGE improvement. Much easier now. I also installed my splitter. I think the whole thing turned out ok.

another cruise for an hour or so.
in the last month have cruised for hours up to the lake and all around, cruised an hour to strip, ran 2 passes on 150 shot, back home, and alot of aimless drives. never a single check engine light, drop leaked, noise, temps all rock solid, and averaged around 22 mpg. not bad for a 16 year old camaro with 103k

finaly fixed my rattling LM2 exhaust, rattled at certian rpms against panhard rod only sometimes, but god it drove me nuts. kind of a hack fix, but it was so tight in there, i used some header wrap around the pipe where it hits, and a stainless ziptie, zero rattle. then i drove her like i stole her for an hour, tried to race a wrx, but he pussed out. must have scared him when i purged at his bumper at a light.

I need to do that with my bassani true duals, there is a spot where it sometimes hits the heat shield.
