I recall those few days after you first installed the short-shifter and how worried you were that it wasn't working! :lol:

Great idea to have a photo section. Really cool car jomey. I'll need to get Mikey's FiT up soon.

This is exciting. I also finally got a Wii today! I actually bought GT Force before I even had the console to play it on LMAO. The game comes with a steering wheel. It's been assembled and waiting to be used. haha!

Nice car. I've always liked the STi. Is that the intercooler or the radiator with STi written on it?

Beautiful car :D . Love the functional hood scoop! Real ram air for the turbo :twisted: .


Any pictures of the finished short-shifter? Like maybe a before and after, with everything in place?

well the air that goes through the hood scoop and onto the intercooler is only for heat exchange like the radiator, that air doesn't actually go into the intake/engine. the stock intake is pretty much a CAI though b/c it has that black scoop going to the front of the car to take in the intake air.

with the console on the short shifter doesn't really look any different from the stock shifter. the knob might be a tiny bit lower but i don't like the little mini stick short shifter look or feel so i adjusted the knob height to be pretty close to stock.
