BUILD JOURNAL: SPECIAL SERIES

Tighter clicks, more boom.

Enamoured by the carbon driveshaft and solid mounted subframe on the Phoenix, I set out to enhance the "click, click, boom" feel of the 420G.

In this Special Series, I document my RTD short shifter experience.

I take you into my unboxing, the install and my driving impressions - with videos to come.

Cheers,
- Matt / @m3_epoustouflant
