DONT YOU JUDGE ME. I made a mistake when i sold them a couple years back so i got them again. They may not be rare, but they work best for my application. And now R-S3's are mounted to them so they are gonna be bad *** matched with the Tokico D Spec shocks and Swift Spec R springs

Just wanted to say that the Ohio G Club is meeting up tomorrow at Cars and Coffee, Lennox Location, near OSU Campus. AFterwords, we are heading over to the Auto Show for a bit, then for a cruise and dinner somewhere.

Sorry for the late notice...but once again, we do most of our posting on our FB group page.

Hope to maybe see some of you there!

Oh yea? I just spent a solid 30min trying to replace my shift **** with a new Blox weighted one...

The gears line up wrong when its fully screwed on so I'm gonna have to loc-tite it so they line up, better like this ****

I got a replica one off shift **** modeled after the Tommy Kiera. It's heavy as **** and made in super nice SS. 65 bucks wasnt a bad deal. Only thing i don't like is its not countersunk so It stickes up too high. Im going to have to counter sink it to get it to sit lower with my B&M short throw.

How do you like that short thrower? I'm thinking of buying one soon, does it make a big difference in shifting like they claim?

Interestingly, I bought a shift **** too. Did a lot of reading before installing it and took the advice offered by many. Guess I was lucky, I didn't have any trouble getting mine off. I say interesting because when the car would shift from 5th to 6th - rarely would this happen, it would grind a little. Now w/the new shift ****, I have not had any grind at those gears or grind at all. Guess putting the new **** on fixed it?

You never tell me about this stuff damn it.. You need to start keeping me in the loop since I don't do the facebook thing that Jeremy loves to post on.



As far as the shifter. I have the B&M short throw and like it a lot. Although it sucks with the stock shift ****, you for sure need a weighted **** for it to not rattle and shift smoothly.

My bad! I wasn't planning on being there very long but it ended up being so nice that we shot the shat down there for a couple hours. You have facebook why don't you just get on it??? I know you've got free time at work! Anyways Jeremy posted it in here, although it was a bit of late notice.
