BQuick, you BSmart, that MGW short throw shift kit is the best thing around to keep that MT-82 working at its best. You have the highly touted 18x11 Apex wheels, so wondering if you are going to some bigger meats when the Bridgerocks wear out?
Damn good tire and I know folks are hoping they have a bigger 18 inch in the works.

Thanks Bill, this is a reclamation project of sorts. I purchased it from a dealer who got it on a trade. It showed little evidence of any normal maintenance and did not enjoy a pampered life (it was filthy and some of the mods were, well not useful?). However it is low mileage, no DTC’s, no leaks and the transmission shifted as it should with the OE shifter. Now 3 months into reclamation, we are ready for the first track Test and tune. I went with 19x11 Apex rather than 18’s as my thought was overall diameter/sidewall was better achieved vs 18”. I had 18” Apex on the Boss so there was some personal experience in my choice. The “skinny” 285’s are a place to start until I got to the strut vs coilover decision. It does not have camber plates yet so 305’s would have been very poked out plus not too useful without some negative camber.

Sounds great and camber plates will likely be on your reclamation list in the future, ha!

I have a re-build low miles ben calmer MT82, the MGW shifter, nice light aluminum flywheel and sweet tasting spec. clutch and i must be honest. the old trans although it got loud and whined and would growl in neutral with clutch out, it shifted a ton smoother than my current MGW / calmer trans does. i know these are all solid components so i've been perplexed. i have the steeda stiff motor mounts too - but for some reason the trans swap (although it quieted everything down nicely) is not happy to shift under power especially the 2nd to 3rd. i almost blew my car up racing hard and missing the gear not realizing it due to noise of other cars i was sitting at 8000rmp bouncing of the limiter.

Updated Build thread, it has been a productive January working on the list for BQuick.

New front LCA’s, ball joints, bushings.
Boss valance and lower shield which boxes in the bottom of the radiator, hopefully it helps cooling vs the GT pieces.

It sounds like you’re making progress on the car.
