Pedders!



Can't wait for the rest of the goodies!

Heart failure or not, these babies are going on (may take me a bit though ;o)

Thanks! Been a crazy ride these last couple of months. Trying not to overdo it but, gotta keep up the fight.

Gonna be weird around here with all the folks moving on. Wish you the best, biking is fun for sure...

The Detroit Speed mounts came in! These are a poly bushing and adjustable!









These look awesome and I like the way the pedestals are setup. Also nice is the ability to remove them without taking the engine pedestals off!

Very nice motor mount, curious to see how you like the pedders. I have the supercars, they are super responsive and felt amazing on the track, she was a bit stiff going over the road joints on the way to the track though.

Hope all is well!

Yea, me too. I wanted the supercars but, was concerned the Detroit Speed Lca's would not leave enough room. I planned on the bushings but thought about the LCA swap out.

Mounts are real nice and I like how I can drop the height easily. They also allow you to move the engine back or forward if needed... Very slick...

Hey Don, you may already know this - the DSE endlinks were made specifically to work with the DSE front shocks. The bolts are narrower than OEM and require spacers if your aftermarket shocks are OEM fitment. I think DSE supplies one spacer per endlink (i.e. for the sway bar), but you may need two.

Also, I can't recall exactly, but I may have had to modify the spacers they provided so the they would fit my parts. You may not need to, but just a heads up, you may want to test fit these in advance.

Thanks for the heads up! I asked about that and I believe you are right. I figured when I get to that point, I’ll get the spacers.

Well, the first of the year is going to be busy. The 35R pack in the trans appears to be going. Talked with Aaron at GPI and I’m going to have them do the rebuild — sometime in Feb. I’ll pull the trans and deliver it to GPI. Was planning on it going anyway so I’ll do it before track season gets going...

I really have no need for it right now but had my eye on this for a while. Will they transfer over VINs from your old cable? or will you have to buy new credits?

You send your old one in and they transfer all liscenses. 189 for the pro feature set. Just sent mine in too

Exactly, send in the old and they migrate your used ones and transfer unused ones into universal credits. Lots of new features. Still used a cable to write tunes — bluetooth for logging!
