So first of all thanks to all that helped me on this project...

THANK YOU to Eric for a great deal on an excellent product.

THANK YOU to Arling at Lucent Motors for being professional and courteous to me when I was asking dumb questions regarding the install. I was planning on taking my car to his shop for this install...until I got some help. But...I will definitely have Arling help me on future mods.

and a big THANK YOU to daytrader aka Peter for opening his home, tools and his skills to a complete stranger. What a nice guy...

ok here are the pics:

new piece.




pretty much done...


another tip...when doing the install...with a helper or friend? SHUT UP and STOP YAPPING! Man...Peter and I were talking so dang much...we added like an extra hour to the install. I could of shaved off at least 30 mins if we just stopped yapping.

But I guess it is easy when you have cool people that are easy to talk to. =)

 

That's funny, I just got mine done today.

The instruction was very good and took me less than 2 hours to finish it (no problem at all!)

The shifter now feels heavier, shorter travel, but more precise. I like it and I would highly recommand this mod as a "must have", especially as a DIY project!

Eric, also thank you for the great deal!

Happy Holidays
Peter

 

Thanks for the nice words from AsianImage. I had a great time. Really glad to get chance to meet a member from this forum in person. AsianImage is a gentleman. He trusted me enough with his lady for me to worked on.

Hopefully, I will meet more members like AsianImage. Merry Christmas to all.

 

great job on the ssk install guys! u have ballz to work on your cars..

 

Great job, my first one was long, next was easy, now i have to do another one..LOL

btw.. what unit are u using for your audio? it fits on the bottom
console? do you still need your radio? why dont you remove it and ut cup holders

 

That would make me ball-less...since I did nothing but distract him from working faster! hahahaha...yeah I am a big chicken. I need someone else with the ***** to work on cars.

I am sure Daytrader's install is going to be done in less than an hour since he already did it once and he doesnt have me talking in his ear!

 

I have an Alpine monitor..it is a stand alone monitor hooked up to a 6 DVD changer. Does not have any audio functions or nav. Just a monitor. The original owner wanted to retain all the factory controls and factory radio etc.

 

Daytrader,
Believe us, you will never meet anyone else like AsianImage

 

Asianimage....How do you like the SSK??

 

If he's not posting back, it's probably b/c he's out driving

 

glad to see stuff like this, I usually rely on myself for installs. It nice to see fellow 6speeders helping out.

 

lol good point!!!

Luckly bastard...we have a foot of snow on the roads here

 

Yo Jurichar...I love it. I am a believer...I am drinking the KOOL AID...what a mod.

The feeling is so different and positive from the factory. I havent gotten to really rip on a freeway and really rail the gears but so far..in regular stop light jumps..the shifts from 1-2-3 are AWESOME. Man...I am a true fan of this mod from now on. SSK all the way...and with the price special..and good people on the board willing to help complete strangers...what else can you ask for right?

Great way to start my xmas and new years! New mod and a new friend. All is well in my world.

 

awesome.......

Cant wait for spring now!!!

 

I know my friend Vince (vincentdds) will have his for sale in a week or two. I drove his GT2 and hated the way it felt! he drove my car with the RUF setup and feels way better. So this week we are taking the B&M out and installed the RUF unit..

the B&M is just too notchy for me
