Nice ... Thats the longest shifter that I've seen, closest one to that that I've seen was the one off Aaron Cake's car. He broke it off though lol. He wanted it even taller, probably just as tall as this to get the shifter right besde the steering wheel.

VERY nice stuff! That is the AWD car from Mazda right?

Your build is looking very nice as well. That is the best widebody kit that I have ever seen as well.

since you used a FC subframe did you HAVE to move the engine back onto the fire wall, or is that something you chose to do.

i was suposed to do it, beacuse i wanted to get more weight to the back, but desided not to move the engine, it fitted good like it is now, wit only one rotor of the engine is in the front of the front wheels, rest of the engine is back of it. And the tranny also fitted well with the engine like this, the gearshifter fitted perfectly in the same hole as the original gearshifter is fitted.

If you have a chance a picture or two would be cool, more out of curiousity than anything. Just wanted to see how you went about supporting the steering column at the bottom.

i haven't made the support at the bottom of the steering colum yet, want to fit the engine and all that first to see how much space i have left, then I will make the lower support..

but can get you some pictures when i come home from work.
