All buttoned back up!




Also, started the car and let it warm up and went through the process of setting the ATF level. I filled the transmission up with 6 qts after changing the strainer and the pan. Removed the level check plug as soon as the atf temp. showed 96F, nothing came out. Let it warm up some more to max. required, still nothing. Added 2 more quarts and went through the process again this morning, still nothing. Added 2 more qts. so that is already a total of 10 qts. Went to through the process again and finally, about 1 qt. came out.

That's beyond weird. The entire system dry only holds 11.1 quarts according to the Service Manual on TIS. I'd really like to know how you got the torque converter emptied out. That's a feat.

How do you like the Swift springs on the 14 shocks? I took them off my 13. They didn’t absorb well to me.

feels pretty good on mine. But, I had just replaced my road and track ohlins on my RCF and I am having the rears converted to fit the IS-F. So, the swift springs are
coming off after that.

Fresh off of my RC-F, they’re going on the IS-F just need some upper and lower spring perches!

A diffuser would complete the exterior nicely.

Did you go with the CCS rep? They have had a more aggressive diffuser under development for a while. I haven’t been following social media lately, so I don’t know if they ever finished it. It looked promising.

Oh I didn't know they're working on another version. Yeah, I ordered whatever they have in current production, if that's the CCS rep.

You don’t play. Do you track the RCF?
