THAT’S A THOUGHT! Anything I need to make sure I keep records of in order to take advantage of tax write-offs?

Yeah, if a car was provided, I would be “all in”. I understand from a business perspective why it can’t be that way though, it’s operated similar to a platform like Turo. No one would purchase lessons if they had to drive a car that they couldn’t drive to the lesson. Fortunately, I can back out...

Thanks @Benster for your helpful reply, I guess improving the mpg will help with my margins as well. Good to hear my idea made sense.

I just signed up to be a part-time instructor for a Stick Shift Driving school platform, and it seems like a pretty cool gig… the only thing I’m not crazy about is I have to provide my own car for the lessons. I guess I’ll see how the first few lessons go and then see if I want to continue doing...

Word. I just ordered one from Wunderladen. Will update when I pop it in.

And I saw you replied to my Reddit post. Thanks for the help!

Fair enough. May order them and install next time I’m under the car for fluids

Dammit I think you’ve convinced me to try those inserts in my OEM CTR RMM now… Can you pinky swear that there’s no noticeable increase in NVH?

Welcome! I too have the sport hatch manual. Be sure to add you car to @gtman ‘s tuning thread!

Fellow Sport Hatch owner here - Welcome! :wave:

Is it super faint, and sound almost like an electronic relay (it may even be that)? My clutch pedal started making those faint clicks for a few months this past winter, once when I would push the pedal down to the stop, and again when I would release it past a certain point. It seemed to have...

I’ve done it twice and haven’t had any issues. See my post on it here. I think immediately after pollen season make sense to get it done. It’ll likely only get dirty again next pollen season and the warmer ambient temps will help to dry everything off afterwards.

Used to be a big surfer, but moved away from the coast for work. I’ll still go when I can but it’s not my go-to anymore. For exercise, rock climbing. Mostly indoors at the local gym, but try to do some outside outings when the conditions and people align. I dabble in skateboarding, at parks...

Acuity Shifter Linkage Bushing Upgrade Date - Mileage Installed: 4/28/24 - 56,538 mi Still Installed (Y/N): Y Initial Install Notes: The install was pretty straightforward... EXCEPT FOR REMOVING THE C-CLIPS. The Acuity guide said 45 mins, but honestly, the whole job took a couple hours. I was...

I just have the stage 1 bundle, so just the base bushings and centering spring. I do have the Acuity Poco knob, so I’m actually concerned it will sit too low with the CTR shifter assembly… I like where it’s at now, and any lower I fear it would start to resemble shrinkage :fear:

Alright, so this is what I had to do. Once I started getting a feel for it, it wasn't scary, just took a lot of patience and swearing. Hopefully this helps anyone tackling this who is initmidated by these clips, in addition to the other tips shared in this thread. Btw, I was able to get this...

where would you recommend picking one up?

For some reason my OEM battery is missing its handle too :what:

Appreciate the encouragement! Have a busy month or two coming up. Family stuff, and then moving to new rental with what is effectively a 2.5 car garage 😍, for about the same rent that I pay now. But all that said, might not get to the rest of Acuity Stage 1 until after the move.

I’m referring to these clips (with the blue and orange marks). That hold the cable housing to the transmission bracket. Required an insane amount of force to free and there is not much space to work with.
