Explain. Im intrigued.

 

Oh yeah, I just wasted an entire afternoon trying to dig a hole in the equivalent of wet cement. Borderline futile. Got it fixed though!

 

wake p, chill with friends, unexpectedly watched a 240sx drift in the sears parking lot when me and my friends were chilling, the guy saw my car and decided to show off. now im waiting for friends to come over

 

Is already sunday for me, who wants to hear what I did on Saturday!?

1 Woke up @ 6
2 sat on the computer
3 around 1300 I fell asleep again
4 woke up and took a shower around 1630
5 went and got chinese food
6 came back in ate and sat at the computer
7 fell back asleep around 1800

This list is 100 per cent accurate, and I approve...

 

I just finished putting my short shifter in and now have ZERO skin on any of my knuckles. Almost forgot what that was like and i gotta say it feels DAMN good

 

^ How does the short shifter feel?

Dan - How was your Chinese food? Did you get a fortune cookie?

 

It was alright, I guess I'm gonna get taco bell today...

 

Matt: you just soak the skittles in 151 for like a day and then when you spoon it into your mouth, you get the alcohol but it's rly sweet and then as you chew, the skittles act like a chaser. it's tasty, i got some people pretty twisted with 151 tonight lol. now i'm going to sleep.

 

Its alright. A bit notchy compared to the stock one, but then again the stock one was goin on 13 years old, so it was well broken in. I'm gonna take it all back apart again and re-grease the reverse pin and shaft and see if that helps, but i'm pretty sure its just somethin i'm gonna have to get used to. Loving the shorter shifts though, also loving the shifter height, i'll take some pics today while i'm detailing the inside for comparison

 

Didn't think to take any "before" pictures, so this random one i took the other day will have to do:


After:


I would say the shifter is a good inch or inch and a quarter shorter. The throws are 35% shorter according to the instructions. I went for a short drive last night after i got done installing it and another this morning, and the notchiness (is that a word?) is starting to go away. Either that or i'm just getting used to it. Overall the install was pretty easy, not rocket science by any means, just complicated by having big hands and working in a small space. Definitely worth the time and money (~$40 and a few hours to install)
