Mate,

could you write up a lil how-to on the shortshifter seeing you already fitted it?

Like give step bye step pointers what to watch out for, and what where goes, what you need to mod etc.

I would really appreciate it.

yeah i'll try an have a go tomorrow morning.

well theres a bit of a update since returning from holiday.

the car need a nearside outer cv boot and i was still in holiday mode so i payed a mechanic i know to do the work.

he's a real good guy and said he could do it for cheapo's of me, so i turned up and got it done.

then i found this:

he did say the employee who he got to do it had trouble getting the my rays lock nut off, but it looked like he just hammered a socket onto it and took it off that way. not amused. ;)

all is tho as he's agreed to pay for a new set for me.

other than that i got some toyota sweatbands while i was out there:

toyota sweatbands looks fairly smart and subtle mate, i like them.

And not a very good idea doing that was it! arse. I guess you can call it a good thing that he will pay for a whole set for you

thanks mate. i was well pissed off, but since he's agreed to pay for a whole new set, then i cant really grumble.

it was actually pissing it down when i took them, i had to use the lens hood to stop the rain getting on the lens! ;)

i was gonna keep quiet about the refurb, but i guess i can do a progress report on these ones:

theyre all prepped ready to go, so its just a case of masking them up and spraying away!

well i do really want your exhaust as you know mate, but i wanted these wheels since the first day i saw them, so i think i'll hold on to them. but thanks for the offer (i may be interested in buying the exhaust at the end of the month if i have spare moneys after tires)
