Default FisterD Stage II's & Golden Rod Installed

Well I bought my Stage II's about 6 months ago IIRC. The motor was put back in the car yesterday, today the FisterD's installed. All I can say is WOW!! It really is a perfect sound for me. Great rumble at idle and all business at WOT. I am loving them, very impressed. Now for the Golden Rod. I married it to the new clutch, RS Shifter, RS fork, new front rod and all new cups and again WOW!!! The result in shifting is crisp and no slop. Very impressive. These are 2 mods I would definitely tell others to pursue. A great bang for the buck. I can't wait to get the car done and on the road.

Any pics? If there is time before it goes to paint, I'd like to hear the Stage II's.

You can definitely hear them I need you to help me strip the car. I haven't even started on it yet. I just took it back to the bay today. We had to order some additional parts. Waiting on you. Just give me a call and we can give it a go. JK, but I will be starting on Friday

Mike, I thought you might like the Stage IIs. I'm glad you finally got a chance to hear them. And as for the Golden Rod...yes, it firms things up nicely.
