Glad you got them. How do they feel compared to stock ? They feel excelent! Just had a litttle trouble with the tap because i though it was 14x1.5 like your post said but it was 14x2.0. But i realized that just before making the thread lol -------------------- |

Today I changed the bulbs in my dome light and behind the instrument cluster. But I've gotta take it back out because my right turn signal indicator isn't lighting up. Either I knocked it loose or didn't plug something back in right. Yay! Something to do tomorrow.

^ Nice.
Yesterday, I sprayed my license surround flat black - à la NGHTKD - so, thanks guy, for the inspiration. It looks cherry. This post has been edited by SwissFerdi: Mar 5, 2012 - 10:36 AM -------------------- '97 ST \ Eibach \ KYB \ Kenwood \ Alpine \ Cusco \ OEM+ [sold 10/18]

New TRD shift knob. Best $31 I've spent recently. Hey - did it screw on - or just slip on? I have the same one - but it doesn't like my 7th Gen Short shift -------------------- |

It's a PITA. There are no threads in it. Apparently they're all "self threading." Just push as hard as you feel comfortable with while screwing it on and it will go on. I had to take my shift boot off to get it started threading, then I actually had to move my shift boot down on the shifter to make sure it would stay on. My Vincent Doggy shift boot sits just a little too high for the shift knob. I moved the plastic tab below the shift boot down 1/4" and now it all works beautifully.

I didn't want to manhandle the new shift knob until I knew for sure it was supposed to screw on - I'll probably have to break out the tap n' dye set to rethread the shift stick... I lobbed off the top of it to shorten it visually too... in hindsight, probably shouldn't have done that but what can you do now, right?

I went with mevotech cause i didnt want to mess around with the recessed hex anymore. I had no idea they would be as thick as they are, oh and i can keep fresh grease in em too. |

Washed the car, and then just looked at her for a bit. She has come a long way and there isn't that much left that I feel I need to do before I am satisfied. For a little while at least >:)
