Where did you buy that short shifter? And for how much?

relisys190 05-12-2003 10:22 PM

what kind of shift knob is that? looks very nice.. i like when the knob says the gear pattern on top. just looks (authentic)



i dunno, maybe it's just me.

I made the shifter myself... Well my dad's friend helped. He has a machine shop so he milled the shaft it goes over the original ball I just took off the black cone thing on top of it. At least I had the idea and designed it myself. The shifter is actually a type R shift nob but I think it is quite tasteful.



I boosted my car today 1st & 2nd w/ a jump off the line. It's feeling fast as hell and it still has all season tires on it. I kind of smoked the tires a little but it's all good. I'm just gonna have to keep off of it for a while... DAMN!!! I was also cruising with my friend with a GSX-R and some guys asked me to be in their "group." They have some tight ass cars... 300 ZX, 11 sec TSI, CRX w/ Type R engine. I still think my car is the coolest though! https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683329.gif



Hopefully I'll have the FMIC all together within the next month and my S-AFC tuned up! I definitely need a new clutch and tires though. It's fun to drift with these tires though... not much effort or power involved.



Apex13B, isn't that the 4 rotor Le Mans car?

yo make me one of those shifters :-p



did they modify the one you had or make a new one?



if they made a new one get me one made ill pay

It is the old ball joint. I just pulled off the peice that slide over it. And replaced it with a metal sleeve that goes over it with femal threads on the other side. Some green loc-tite to attach the sleeve and blue loc-tite to hold the nob in place.



There is no rubber to absorb the vibration but I could give a **** about that. It feels much nicer like that anyhow. I'll have to ask him if he'll make some. I don't think he'll do any small projects like that but I'm gonna see him tomorrow so I'll bring it up... see how many people he would need to buy it before he'd start it and the price.

FrestyleFC3S 05-12-2003 11:51 PM

bleh...just get him to make you another...for your other car or something :-p



and then sell me it

rmaiersg 05-12-2003 11:58 PM

He hooks it up hardcore. I don't want to be ******* him over. It'd be nice if he likes the idea to make some money on the side though. I'll keep you posted.
