Monday: I tore drivers door panel off, and fixed my loose window, so now when i shut my car door it doesn't sound like its going to brake. I also pulled out everything out of my trunk, panels and storage bins, cleaned everything, remounted everything, and welded up a mounting bracket that allowed me to properly tie down a Full Size 3000GT wheel as a spare...worked nicely.. So now when I drive over a speed bump theres no loud CRASH in the trunk. Then Washed it.

Tuesday I removed my entire Shifter assembly short throw and all, cut out 1.5inch out of the short throw to shorten the shifter height and welded it back together, and added some bushings to take up some of the free play, shifter feels much better, Applied a coat of paint for looks to the shifter. Also cleaned and orginized my garage.

Today: nothing, just got in and drove it to work.

anyone who wants a stripped down AS-IS6g72 DOHC motor, let me know! for sale, I sell cheap. Asking 100$ for just block w\ crank.... I have other things, will sell rest of motor for 200$...PM for details lol Rebuild it or Use it for parts.

Shortening a shifter doesn't make the throws any quicker, so you achieved nothing with that other than adding more effort in your shifts.

It doesn't matter. He shortened a short throw and all he did was make it harder to shift. Some kid did that same shit to a shifter that came in one of my brother's Neons. The thing was notchy as fuck and hard to shift. He thought the synchros were going bad. Ended up putting a normal short throw in and the difference was night and day. It shifted smooth as silk. So I repeat he accomplished nothing.

LOL it feels the same to me. If u saw my shiftknob ud understand that it has good weight to it so it probably makes a big difference. Car shifts with ease. I like the feeling of a somewhat tight gear box...one thing I like about the rx8s. The shifting is perfect not too buttery not too bolt action rifle feeling just. . Perfect. I also noticed since the additions of the bushings I made 3rd has been a lot better to shift into. New trans on the way..
