if anyone is bringing a camera, i would like ask a favor. a lot of forum members have been requesting a clip of my borla td with resonators removed. if anyone could take a short video and post it, many people would be very appreciative.

I'm bringing a video camera. Surely one of our nice sideliners will film some runs for us.

Adjustable crescent wrench
Grease (most greases are fine such as lithium based)

I can go purchase the grease unless someone wants to bring some extra that they have laying around. The main thing that I see in the directions that scare me is the amount of ft-lbs that i have to tighten the bolt when installing it. I dont want to make it to tight or loose.

Let me know if anyone can help out. Thanks!
wtf, not only do you want people to bring added weight and free labor but you want free grease as well?!!??! thats going too far man! btw, this is race day not garage day!

Um... yeah.. If you want to pay for my racing fee, I can bring the tools (but no grease).
And we can put the tools in your car if I race.

Thanks, thats actually a pretty good idea. I definitely wouldn't mind paying your race fee for the help. I would much rather do that instead of doing it myself and accidentally messing something up

I don't think he was being too serious, as he added the smiley. Plus, ths short shifter shouldn't be too hard to install. Install it today and test it out on the track tomorrow. Problems solved.

edit-
But I'm not sure if I'd be able to help (if I race). If I can't race then I can definitely try to help.

2nd edit-
ACTUALLY, since we're getting there around 11 am and the race doesn't start until noon, we have an hour to wait for our cars to cool down and we can do the install at that time.

I have some grease...bought it to put my shifter in actually. Let me know if you want me to bring it.

edit...also, did you get a new socket or bushings?

I have a new socket, i think it was a bit over 15 bucks...so throw me a 20 and i'll give you the socket and grease and possibly assist in the install. It is pretty easy except for getting the shifter into the socket....that part sucked.

All I have is the Shift rod, wasnt aware that I need a socket or bushing for the install. Are thoses needed or just optional? I will bring a 20 for the grease and the socket. I was hoping I would get my NISMO Titanium Shift **** in by tomorrow so I could put that on at the same time but it looks like it wont be here in time.

^^^You can re-use your stock one but i got a new one. I have a NISMO Titanium Shift **** too, hahaha, not using it, i have one from Top Secret now that is much cooler.

I'll bring the socket just in case you want it, if not then that is fine.
