5PTOH purchase and build (SOLD)

[redline727]

Looking nice! What center bore did you give to Motorsport Tech for your spacers? I've seen 70.5 and 70.6. Also, where did you get the white PVC dash trim? I really like the look of that. Adds a nice touch without being over the top.

Thanks! I actually never gave a center bore to them. I was lost of the group buy. I just called him to pay and tell him what thickness I wanted. I assumed he knew the center bore for our cars already... I got the dash trim from eBay. I ordered a quantity of two. Each quantity is the yard. Still had some left over too.

Installed my GT350 start button. Had a dome overlay and it looked good but having the real thing for under a minute install was well worth it.

[MENTION=19132]Anarchy Motive[/MENTION] shift knob delivered and installed!!! This thing looks awesome! Little bit larger than I expected but overall not too much bigger than my Boomba knob. But it's almost 3x heavier which feels great. With the design of the Boomba short shifter you can't thread the knob all the way down and the reverse lock out still work. But this was not really a negative bc it allowed me to raise the knob enough to use the jam nut to get the knob at the right height and have the pony's centered! No loctite needed with the jam nut. Originally we were going to coat it transparent white. However the powder did not come out like we were expecting. And ultimately we were shocked how well the detail came through with the engraving and we felt it best to just clear it and let the engraving be the center of attention. I think it was a great decision. And the knob matches all the metallic trim on the interior. Sorry for all the pics but I couldn't decide which ones I liked best.

Updated Howler badge is in and installed. The updated dimensions are perfect. I like the bigger size over the original. A little hard to see the difference with the old pic.

Installed some Roush heat extractors. And since I had to send back my Flag Pony for some touch up work due to a rock chip, I installed my gloss black Stanginator in the interim, I couldn't just leave it empty... Lol

UPR clean side vent hose. Looks a little nicer than that stock foam covered line. Only thing I noticed that the side that connects to the intake doesn't really "click" on like the factory style fitting that it comes with would suggest, valve cover side "clicks" on perfectly though. Could just be something with the JLT's. Its not going anywhere it goes all the way on and the line is rigid enough that its held in place.

Literally ordered the same knob right after you posted your photos on the shift knob thread. Mine should be getting here in a couple of days

On another note, how did the wrap on the hood vents hold up?

Loving your car and how everything goes together:clap2:

under a minute install? I thought the install would be more like 30-40 based off the video I watched. Is there a quicker way now?


nevermind i just watched the cj pony video....very nice!

Awesome! I love the knob, only thing I am questioning with my order is if it would have looked better in a raw finish. It was recommended to have it cleared to seal the engraving. But I am wondering how well the clear will hold up over time. We will see. The wrap didn't hold up as well as I would have liked. In the corner of each side where the actual vent is started to raise up. I dont think this had anything to do with the install and was mainly from engine heat. Could be a lesser quality vinyl. But no issues with it coming off in any other area. And it was identical on both sides. Thats why I ultimately decided to get the Roush vents instead of having these redone if it may only happen again.

How long were the vents wrapped for before you decided to change them? Also, how you liking the color of the touch extractors?

8-9 months with very low miles. only have just over 2500 miles on it. I was not DD it when I first got it. I am now though. About 20 miles a day. I really like the Roush extractors. Had some fluke fitment issues with the driver side vent. American Muscle swapped it out for me twice. The passenger side one was perfect from the start. Alex said he pulled the return report on them and there was only 3 out of 178 orders or something like that. So thats why I say fluke. But I can be pretty picky when it comes to fit and finish. Even more so when I am paying almost $190.00 for plastic lol
