Good stuff. It's coming together nicely.

Welcome. There are a ton of wise people on the forum, of which I'm not one. But - I have an '86 with the same gearbox symptoms as you've described. I agree with the 4k shift into second, and I've...

A big contrast there. The '04 would certainly be a closer match to the feel of a new one. If that's your ultimate goal, then it makes a better example. But I think you'll find the people on this...

Lots of good options mentioned here, but I'll give a "+1" for the Direzza Star Specs. I have four track days on my 205/225 combo and they're holding up great. I've been spoiled by R compound tires...
