Found this while derping on the interweb. Apparently someone got excited while on a test drive and did skids into immovable objects... :(

I have an urge to take photos and to finger all of your gaps... no homo Looking good Jeff!!

ohai

Its not like rowing a boat any more :P Got the idea from Hybrid racing and their short shift mod for the civics lol

Thanks broselito, I have done just that, although i now need to either paint it or polish it because looks all scratched up Found some snaps on my travels through the interwebs... :D

I envy your PCD

Loving it Jeff! Its all happening!! I reckon go with silver ;)

If you have a proper bucker seat you wont really need a harness. nevertheless it looks good! :D

I love it Alister!! :D Hows the new seat like to drive with?

Today I dug up my short shifter which I have had laying around for years. Its for an AE102 but never fitted into the car i purchased it for. After playing around with the SX I realised the shifter boxes line right up between the 82 and SX. So I found the spare shifter box and hacked it up with an angle grinder. Heres a comparo between the aftermarket short shift, a celica ST185 shifter, and the standard one - the further the bottom of the stick is from the ball, the less throw there is ;) Here it is once I put it all back together. I took it for a spin and found that the throw was drastically reduced! It was less than half the throw from standard. But I had a few issues with it. I found there was too much resistance when changing gears, which in fact slowed my gear changes down (not enough gym yo) The other issue was the new position of the stick. Due to being an AE102 shifter the bend was no where near the degree of the standard stick, this caused it to be too far forward and I found myself stretching to reach certain gears. So to reduce the resistance and fix the position of the stick while still keeping less throw than the stock shifter, I made a contraption up which relocated the gear knob to a position closer to the wheel and the driver, while doing this the knob was moved upwards to allow better leverage and reduce the resistance. So happy with this mod, throw is significantly reduced and its easier to drive! gear changes are quicker and slicker than ever! :D

ITS WHAT I USE WHEN IM SHOUTING!!!!!!!!! CAPS LOCK HELPS FOR EFFECT TOO!!!!!!!!

Do you feel any difference while driving? PS. Jaay, Ive found that levin brace :P

Woah!! I cant believe that!! theyre almost the same as my 6UL's!! :o

Paint looks flawless!! :D Strip the car out and with the brakes in you should be able to crack that on street tyres no worries... Keep an eye out on Ozhonda and mx5cartalk for used semis ;)

I see him almost everyday. Not a bad looking car!

Defs a supercharger... no doubt.

From what I could see, it seems like those sway bars are making it a bit more twitchy and slidey.... What are your thoughts on going back to stock sway bars and going with (a whole lot) stiffer springs? Maybe put some polyurethane bushes through the old sways. Should make the car feel more planted and reduce that boat-like body roll... Wheels look good, I like bronze on your car... are they much lighter?

As long as you dont eat or drink for a few weeks and are naked... you need to be under 50kg hahaha Yeah sure, I wont be visiting the track for a while, need to sort out a few things with the car before next time, probs early next year?

Yeah 2JZ no s**t.

Just did a comp test on the motor fearing it was on the way out due to smoking a fair bit. Results are: 210 200 210 195 Motor seems good to stay in and race for a bit longer!

Spotted these last week... i dont mind them, they look alot better in the flesh! Couldnt see what the rear suspension was :(

Pics n vids or loving never happened.

lolololol Thanks Pete!

Soz. Not gonna make it this week lads.
