yes im a noob at installing.. didnt even know how to read a torque setting wrench until i stared at the booklet for like 30min..

only thing i did so far was install a pop charger, which took me 2 hrs bc i kept dropping the screws lol

so now im off to my 2nd self-install!! 350evo/rogue short shifter, then maybe teins if i dont f'up my shifter

who wants to come over and laugh (or help) me? hahah

 

Where you at?
Need help with your springs?

 

southern maryland, right next to pax river base

OT: you going to the memorial on 19th at vt? i jus grad in may, so ill be heading back to see some friends

 

Just ta warn ya, most people on here hate their short shifter after they install it. Are you SURE you want to do this mod?

 

yeah, i havent heard of many people who liked their short shifter

 

(based on g35d forums) everyone really wants to get a 2nd gen stillen ssk or the rogue engineering ssk... RE's are super hard to find, but 350evo.com has an ssk they said they collaborated with rogue to make, so a lot recommended that one

cons ive heard is that it takes a bit more force, but the throw is still reduced quite a bit

the most significant pro i want out of it is the reduced vibrations while in gear... really really annoying... it actually makes my momo shift **** loose after a few days (i kno i can use loctite, but i havent bothered bc i might be changing it out later

 

i jus finished installing the ssk... (it didnt take me 5 hrs, only 2 bc i got distracted)

gonna shower and then test drive... but just shifting in the garage... wow.. it feels short and quick... it is more rough going in and out even tho i put a ton of grease, but it feels nice.. so far.. will post again in an hr or so

*edit*

i love it... gonna take a bit to get use to the tightness but i think its pretty neat and nice improvement over stock

whether its worth 200 or not. well that would be up to you i think its borderline worth it for me.. i would probably have been more happy spending 280 on an isothermal spacer, ah well.. thats next on the list either way

 

put the teins in with the logo rightside up.....someone (not me...heh...hehh...heee) put them in upside down and was quite angry that said individual had to redo it

 

noted! me and gcoupeturbo are putting them in on sunday... thanks for the tip!

 

yea, it was a real PITA...the car wasn't sitting right and then I called Tein. I should have waited until they opened, but nooooo. By me I mean "that other guy* heh hehh...aww whats the use

 

hahah, i cant wait to put them on... ive gotta ease off my spending, im so broke
