Spoon/momo horn button is pretty much idiot proof, no cutting or rewiring required

I love spoon, but I couldn't bring myself to spend the extra cash on different coloured thread and a different horn button. Its not like comparing a replica part to a genuine part either, because really they are exactly the same - they even both come in the same box. Money you save there can go towards other spoons

The all black monte carlo is pretty classy imo

Going with a suspension overhaul next year since I will be doing more road racing . What shifter do you have? Looks like it sits in a pretty good spot

Good stuff, I just overhauled my setup, cant recommend doing it enough - after all, these cars are heading up to 20 years old.

Unsure what shifter it is, came in a halfcut from japan and has no markings. I just added a circuit hero extender on top.

lol interesting. It kinda looks like a regular shifter just put in backwards. Looks to be nice placement though. How does it feel to you?

Feels good, nice and close to the wheel, yet leaves plenty of space in 1/3/5 gears from your hand hitting the dash. Throw is pretty much the same as stock ITR, just higher up.

I do the same thing! Press the clutch in and hit the rev limiter haha. My hatch is my daily but you better believe it I use the horn in my girlfriends car.

You should probably fix that, it kind of scares me driving it as it is.

I had a 320 before and it felt super small. I like my 350 tuner. Perhaps we should all start using links so it doesn't kill phone browsers lol

Ah yup, well there you go . I just looked where I got mine from and see a 320 option there too, didnt know they came in that size. I never even considered one that small.

350 feels just right

Alex how do you feel about buckets with 3pt systems and no cage? I'm going to throw mine back in but a lot of guys will make a big deal out of it. I don't think its a serious threat, whats your take?

The hood is killing me, i'm thinking about just getting a new oem one instead of looking for a used one in good shape so i can repaint it.

You are talking about using a harness yea? TAKATA harnesses actually come with instructions that have a diagram that shows the harness going down into the factory rear seatbelt holes. It all depends on what you are comfortable with doing.

For myself I have a cage with a horizontal bar connecting the 2 back legs like so so that the harnesses are flat from my shoulders to the cage. Considering you shouldnt be running rear seats when using a bucket and harness anyway, I would at least get a harness bar that bolts to the B pillar or something If you have no cage. Personal preference.
