Project Whitemare: The Tale of My Whipple S550 GT/PP

So, I made some time to tackle a long awaited install. I had the MGW Compact Race Spec Shifter and a new set of Redline Goods boots to put on the car, and I had just procrastinated for entirely too long. When my new Raceseng Ashiko Shift Knob was delivered, I'd decided I'd take care of the installs.

When I installed the MGW, I had some of the same frustrations most had with the 10mm bolt holding the front of the shifter to the transmission.

After enough grunting and swearing, I managed to get it out. Getting it back in was equally frustrating, but I'd been there before, and just stayed patient as best I could and got it back in without too much fuss.

The top bolt on the shift linkage was simple from the inside of the car.

I had no problem getting the dust boot on the shifter body from outside of the car, but once I dropped the shifter body through the console, I must have pulled the boot off while working from underneath to secure the "arms". No big deal.

I had already made sure that the reverse lockout and 1-2 throws were correct, so I had used the loctite and didn't want to break the bond. So, I decided to just pull the boot and put it on oldschool.

Also, very frustrating, until I decided to use a little dish soap on the bottom of the boot. Made it effortless!

I gladly paid the price of admission for this incredible piece of machinery. If I could afford it, I'd buy a second one to keep on my desk! They're that gorgeous!

I already have the RTR Grille LED's in hand, and they are amazing! The quality is top notch, and they are completely plug and play!! Not only that, but they maintain the airflow for the intake as well! They come in an awesome box too!
