QUOTE (Tigawoods @ Jan 16, 2014 - 10:18 PM)  get TWM shifter base bushings Probably going to be a silly question but I had a look on their website and didn't see and bushings listed for our cars. I'm assuming it's because I clicked "bushings" and didn't have time to look anymore after that last night. Besides, here's a picture of my shift cables:  The cables themselves aren't frayed, but the plastic sheath is cracking off. Not the healthiest cables I've ever seen. I'm going to try the Torque Solution bushings out when I finally stop being lazy and install them, but I need to replace my cables before they get any worse. -------------------- "Employ your time in improving yourself by other men's writings, so that you shall gain easily what others labored hard for." -Socrates.

I ordered mr2 spherical shifter cable bushings and had a machine shop modify my old brass bushings to fit. The mr2 have different size "lobes" i guess you can call it then The celica shifter cables. The spherical ones shift great and feel real smooth when shifting.
The ones I bought came from Australia iirc, but it seems that twosrus has the same set if not very similar. This post has been edited by Ted95: Jan 18, 2014 - 1:23 AM -------------------- st205 powered ss3 coupe

Let me know how hard the conversion for that steering wheel control is, I definitely would do this for mine!
Also, where did the black door latch come from!? This post has been edited by rentaspace: Feb 2, 2014 - 12:28 AM --------------------  ------------------------------| White '94 Celica | Bought 11/05/12 | Sold 12/05/15 |------------------------------ |

Also, where did the black door latch come from!? The conversion will either be very very simple or it won't happen at all. The PAC SWI-RC is an interface that will make OEM steering wheel controls work with an aftermarket radio. You need to solder resistors into the buttons inside the steering wheel then program the interface for each resistor to be a specific signal to the radio. So, in theory, it doesn't matter whether the buttons in the steering wheel are labeled as shift buttons or volume/track buttons because the resistor will send a specific signal to the interface. I'm still waiting on a Celica and IS300 clockspring to show up, otherwise I have no way of getting the signal to leave the steering wheel. Here are the closest things to a how-to I can find for the audio controls: http://my.is/forums/f103/steering-wheel-st...ontrols-482897/ http://my.is/forums/f90/isx50-steering-whe...fit-diy-479993/ One of the wheels I bought is a 7gc wheel and the other is an IS300 steering wheel with a Rav4 airbag. My OEM three post wheel will be for sale soon. The door strikers are from a late 90's Lexus ES300. Toyota put Loctite on the screws so I was only able to remove one yesterday, but I took a second cover and put it over my stock passenger side door latch. I'm going back to the junkyard tomorrow with more than just a screwdriver so I can get a second chrome striker from the ES. I just didn't think to take a picture of my driver side after I replaced it. You can find the strikers and covers for ~$20 on eBay, but it's under $2 for the pair at my local junkyard. There are some small tabs on the back of the plastic cover that I had to cut off to fit to my Celica striker, but it's still a very tight fit and it's not falling off. I'd still rather have the chrome Lexus striker so I have a matching pair. QUOTE (njccmd2002 @ Feb 2, 2014 - 7:38 AM) Wow that bushing was a martir!

They're from a late 90's ES300. I'll go to the junkyard tomorrow and barb the few sets they have if I can get them free.

Pro tip: IS 300 steering wheels and clocksprings are significantly cheaper than the Rav4/Corolla/Matrix/Celica steering wheels at the moment. Plenty of auto steering wheels with the shift buttons but a few without.

Got me a set of door strikers now
 Lucky too, the whole Lexus was wrecked and ripped apart, but the strikers were there and unscratched -------------------- |
