help needed w/a short shifter kit and a c-west headlight conversion kit
I have two problems I could use some help on. I just bought a B&M short shifter kit and was told by my mechanic that if i put it in my 94 rx7 it would ruin the car.
I also recently acquired a C-west headlight conversion kit and the instructions are entirely in japanese. Does anyone know where I can get an english translation of these or if there is a good mechanic for RX-7s in the baltimore area that would know? Please email me at allanbacon@gmail.com
You can post back here if you want but I check my email more frequently than I check the site (due to lag)
Thanks, Allan

Why would someone say that a short shifter would ruin a car?
That's quite possibly one of the more absurd things I've ever heard.
Installing a short shifter is also very very easy and you should be able to tackle that yourself.
Is that c-west kit authentic? It shouldn't really be that hard to install. Search the forum for posts about people installing that kit or the RE kit. All the headlight kits have a pretty similar installation process.

your mechanic isn't so great.
how a short shifter can ruin a transmission is beyond me.
if you don't mind me asking.
How much did you pay for the authentic Cwest headlight kit??
and is it HID?

A short shifter CAN be harder on the sychros, depending how you drive.
It is easy to install, if you are in the Maryland/DC/VA area, swing by and I'll pop it in :p

Hotwheel: Sweet, problem solved
I paid around a grand for it. I see that C-west's new US site is selling it for $888 now though. Damn those bastards

The headlight kit can't be very hard. I just finished installing my RE kit last night and they're supposedly damn near the same. The hardest part was cutting the metal (tough to get a jigsaw or air-powered cutoff wheel in with a fender and bumper cover, Dremels don't have big enough blades, and it's too risky for a sawzall). After that, the hard part is mounting the lights on the brackets because the springs are pretty stiff.
