I wanted to thank everyone for coming and hanging out. And the gimppy comments were welcome! I was just happy to be there walking...and driving my own car of course!

Please feel free to post any pics taken in the pic thread, and I hope that these mini meets happen more often.

Joe, Ben and Arnab - Thank you for the work you did on my car...I just wish I was able to help out more and fyi, nothing fell off on the way to Cincy, and I was able to drift a little more under control on some of the backroads last night!

i wish i could make it to the alum creek meet
but i have work june 20th which is a saturday! bummer
but let me know when you guys have another meet thats on a sunday or monday

 

no problem...I will just remember to give you a ring when my HFC's finally get here

 

Well gentlemens my 20 minute project from Sunday got a few adjustments...
I ordered two of the Zeetoyz finishers in case I messed one up trying to give it a brush finish, but I didn't so the other (by Ted's ingenuity) ended up being used as a spacer...

However, I noted that my leather boot was quite stretched out and the **** really didn't feel all that lower than OEM, although it was much more rigid and nicer to shift. So I decided to remove the 2nd finisher under the leather and see how low the **** would sit with nothing between the leather collar and the shaft (hehe).

Turns out I could screw the **** in another like 15 turns and it left a nickel high space between the visible finisher and the bottom of the **** with NO spacer of any kind...so I went to the hardware store and picked up a washer that was the same diameter hole as the spacer and just about a nickel high...lo and behold, perfection...there is no space any more and the **** is as low as it can be...I love it now. The **** is fully tightened and the angle between finisher and **** leaves a nice space for my middle finger to rest on when shifting into 2nd or 4th...

Onto the pics...and cause I know people would ask, pics of the finisher, and washer I used for future reference and if anyone switches to a ball-type ****.

OEM: bleh...


ARC w/ 2nd finisher as spacer below boot: *note how high it still sits and how the leather is stretched.


ARC w/ washer below boot: ahhh...much better


ARC w/ washer: different angle


Washer, finisher, and keys as size reference:


The difference between the height of the washer and the finsiher is how much lower the **** sits now. Quite nice and not too low like if the **** were directly in contact with the leather. I love it, cept for the fact that the **** gets a bit hot if the car is in the sun...I roasted my hand nicely today.

Hope you guys enjoy.

 

^looks good arnab!

i love the arc ****
i wish they made one for automatics

 

I will be there. Heck, who knows, I may have some by then! What brand were you going with?

Come on Arnab, what is the real name of the washer and how did you ask for it?
