Interesting because I had planned on the K-member & Torque limiters down the road. Also, I have the BMR Street (Poly/ Spherical) LCAs. Which LCA did you have the problems with?

 

Keep em comin!

 

I'm the opposite; I regret selling my 5 speed and using the wife's auto vert to race. For me, the thrill/challenge of banging gears FAR outweighs the consistency of racing an automatic. Just mashing the pedal and holding onto the steering wheel for 1320' isn't that exciting to me. I HAD to sell my 5spd coupe to get something bigger for our growing family, so no regrets there. But the auto fails to scratch my racing itch.

In terms of modding regrets, I too blew up the t-lok in my 7.5" rear, so if you intend to race a 4.0L you should plan on installing a 8.8" take-off and saving yourself a headache later on.

 

i also regret buying a brand new 08 to mod. Even though i got a great deal could have saved some cash and got a used 05. Within 6 months of owning the car i will have voided the warranty and replaced/re-painted every exterior part!

 

BBK TB =(

 

Dont go by me alone, but I had an MGW shifter with no real problem shifting the car. My advice is if it aint broke dont fix it or spend the money. I am getting used to it now, but I wouldnt say it improved anything. I might just leave it on for a while and then take it off and see if I feel a difference going back.

And yeah those are the LCA's I have. The passenger side split in less than 4k miles and was completely gone by 4.5k. The driver side was cracked and starting to go. BMR said it was from a bad batch they had, but I doubt it as I bought them from Brenspeed and asked if these could be affected by the "bad batch" and they said no they were brand new. Like I said BMR did provide replacements but did charge me shipping But like I said looking at them now all the force goes to like 1/4" of the bushing so I can see them breaking again. I am giving them the benefit of the doubt but I am ready to switch to something else if I need to.

My advice is to inspect them every 1k-3k miles. That is what I will do from now on.

 

No...don't tell me that about the LCAs.
I will have to keep a eye on them.

I was considering the K member w/ Torque limiters for me missing third occasionally. Countless members have attested to changing the shifter to resolve the issue. I will probably do that first as I want to upgrade the shifter anyway .

 

I will probably be the only one to regret gears. I got 4.10's in my auto. They whined horribly and then the bearing was too tight and it got smashed up. So when I took it back to get it adjusted, the gears were ruined. At that point I went with 3.73s since the 410s rev'd too high on interstate. After 4 trips back to this shop, it now sounds worse than ever. Well now it is at a different shop getting fixed.

I suppose if someone who knew WTF they were doing did it right the first time, I wouldnt regret it. But going on several months now and still not right.

 

????? I think it looks sweet

 

No regrets so far but I take a very long time to decide on mods and have a growing list that gets erased and added onto daily... one day I'll make up my mind what I want to do....
