mantis good work. I wish i had time to plan things like this but **** i am always to busy i bought another seven yesterday on a business trip. Boss gets mad when you buy a car and race him home in it. well know i have another 79.

congrats!

 

no mantis congrats to you for break 1000 posts in three posts. And this 79 was cheap and ran so what can i say other than give me the keys and the title. body sucks but it runs like a top not as good as the street port but hey 12a is a 12a.

Wait til you try it... Yeeeeouch! I just put an aluminum billet **** on my C5... 'bout recreated that scene from Indiana Jones....
I now have a Crown Royal bag in my car to cover the ****. Still gets mighty toasty, though. The thing just seems to act like a giant heat sink. And I have a 'vert (no huge glass in the back) and cover the windshield with a sunshade....

As for the engraving part.... The threads can be a little off without it being a problem. Just pick up some Locktite and screw it all the way down. Then back it up so the shift pattern (or whatever you engrave) lines up... 'Tis what I did for mine.

BTW- this forum rocks. You should try getting something custom made over at the C5 forum. They laugh. And laugh. Then laugh some more.

 

Mantis is the go getter of the month. He does alkinds of things custom for us first genners and that is why we keep him around.

heheh oh is that why?

BTW anyone up for some zoomzoom stickers?

 

Mantis you just broke 1000 posts. Congrats. Sorry not up for the zoom zoom got mine for free from mazda along with a bunch of info on rx8. I heard october those things will be state side. Woooooooooohooooooooooo.
Can anyone say test drive?
And why are you the go getter cause you go and get things done. like the stickers and the cupholder by the way post a pic of the tripod cup holder i just might need one.

as I said via email I've not got pics of the 3 gauge one. Perhaps one of the guys who bought one off me will post pics of it installed

 

sorry i forgot to check out look. i hope so if i like theni will be getting one.

Mantis, what kind of cost are you looking at for the *****? I ask because I have a sparco that looks almost EXACTLY like one of those *****. The only differance is a tiny coller on the bottem that says sparco on it. I got it for $50 at the locaal rice/honduh shop. Its brushed aluminum, and yes it does get damn hot when the car sits in the sun all day.

 

i had a friend that was a machinist.. he moved, but he machined a **** for me for my car.. its tight, im not sure exactly what its made of, soem kind of metal.. and it gets hot as hell when the car sits in the sun, so i just carry it with me at school or at work. theres a couple threads showing at the bottom, and i have the stock shift boot.. but its all good.. ive gotten used to it, and im not sure what to attach the top of a new boot to to keep it from falling so i deal.

 

I'm shooting for $29 plus like $10 shipping...

 

(Soon-to-be-my) '82 base has a Hurst T-**** on it. I drove a friend's Trans Am with one, and didn't like it, but something just feels good about it in the RX7. I think it's got something to do with the spacing of the gates. Sure makes that ol' 1-2 ripshift a lot easier.

just so I know, is $29 in line with what you guys would expect to pay?

Seems reasonable, esp. as I was looking at a slick cobrahead Momo **** until I saw the delusional shop owner was pricing it @ $118...

it's a ****, ferchrissakes...

 

Hell yeah, $30 for a decent ****. Id pay that. Thanks man, you definatly get my praise for being a "go getter" lol. . By the way, I got my "product" from you a couple days ago. Thanks .
