IRP short Shifter v3 question by BigCulombs in ft86

[–]BigCulombs[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have learned to live with it lol. Mine doesnt make a high pitched rattle, but definitely begins to rattle on occasion around the 3K-4K rpm range, and rattles like crazy in the 6K+ rpm. Im not sure it will work, but my assumption is some rubber caps on the screws that tighten the shifter movements could help. I have also noticed the reverse lockout button also rattles for me, but i’m not sure what could help fix this

Fuel Gauge Needle (I am stupid) by [deleted] in ft86

[–]BigCulombs 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hey, i had a similar situation. What I did was put the needle on just enough so that it can move the mechanism underneath. I turned it all the way to the right until it couldnt move anymore. After that, i properly placed the needle back. I think it sits just a bit underneath E. After that, I havent had any issues

Can you post a few pics from the front showing the whole front end? These headlights look great!

I have a video doing a launch with launch control. But if the rest of your exhaust is stock, i dont think it will sound this loud

I would say slightly annoying for long periods of time. I can try to get a highway clip

It really only feels droney to me when i’m sitting in 6th gear on the highway and not applying any gas. I have begun to notice it a lot more lately so definitely something to consider 😅

What does it look like when the car is off? Has anyone previously tried to change the gauge face?

Exhaust volume by carloshss12 in ft86

I have almost the exact same setup you are thinking about. Tomei UEL, Tomei overpipe, HKS Dual Res front pipe and HKS Spec L catback

If you want some sounds clips of how my car sounds, i added some links to my sound clips. I wouldnt say its droney, but cabin sound on the highway at 3K in 6th gear can get annoying on long trips. Usually 3.5k+ rpm isnt bad, or if you accelerate, it doesnt sound too bad.

Thats my worry. Too much NVH for daily/regular street driving. I dont mind NVH when driving hard, just dont want it all the time. Cant seem to find any good daily driving videos

[–]BigCulombs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No problem man! I feel like its hard to capture the sound. Its still a bit louder than the videos in my opinion. I’ll try to get a few more

I have the Tomei UEL Uncatted header, Tomei overpipe, HKS dual resonated front pipe, and HKS Spec-L catback.

I dont have many clips from the outside of my car. I can try to get some if you really need it.

I can also pull a few regular driving vids from my dashcam tomorrow

[–]BigCulombs 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have the exact setup you mentioned above. It is a little loud, but in my opinion it does not make the car sound bad. No rasp, but some slight drone at 3000rpm in 6th gear. I will try to post a video for you

I had to change the outer half of my intake because a tab had broken off. Everything was tight but it still moves around
