Installed one of many Presents (PIX)

[FhCRubarb]

Well it's 11 degrees outside so i dont really feel like installing a whole bunch of s**t. I knew that this was only gonna take me an hour or so, so i went ahead and did it in my friends freezin garage. Still have the AGX and ingalls camber kit to install. This is from my dads camera an olympus digi he thinks its soo good but it really takes shitty pix as u can tell. Its my skunk2 dual bend with the skunk2 knob. Enjoy

EDIT:There is much improvement over stock, its way worth the money IMO even though my GF got it for me The shifts are very heavy now though but very crisp and very short. ( Thanks energy bushings)

looks nice, i have the same setup in basically the same car, just a few years older.

get that boot up against the knob, looks kinda sloppy with it sliding down like that...

btw, you'll love that in the cold winter... steel knob gets VERY cold in the winter, then very hot in the summer. but it looks good...

Naw man IMO it looks geat. The boot is all at one heighth. And yes ive experienced the cold knob D: i might have to start wearing driving gloves. Also for the guy above ^ The dual bend sits closer to the driver.

How difficult was that to install? I've had one sitting around the house for a few months now but haven't tried the install. How much work do you have to do under the car? And I've heard you should replace the bushings when you do it as well?

ive been thinking about getting one of those too, well worth the money?

 

[doug piston]

[Je]

[doug piston]

browneye - Not much work under the car at all, all u had to do is unbolt the shift linkage, its all bolt-off bolt-on. We do have air tools but were not able to fit the air gun up underneath so we used simple tools that im sure u have. Socket wrenches and wut not.

JE - HUGE HUGE HUGE imporvement over stock. I am in love with this thing.
I got the energy bushings off ebay. They are like 15 bucks?

You hit jackpot guy! The polyurathane LUBRICANT they give u is more like GLUE. But ya the old rubber bushings were a squishy rubber and these are polyurathane. I dunno if u ever felt it, but its much more stiff then stock rubber with a tad bit of flex.

why the dual bend over the single bend???

 

[$lick Rick]

you installed it backwards

 

[anfrey]

can u get more pics on how it sits? ... and it does look backwards based on the knob's angle

 

[browneye]

no it's isn't....if you look in the first picture you can see his seat with the bend heading towards the seat. Which is the purpose of the second bend to get it closer to the driver I believe....
