Heard on radio, worst three small cars for crash test ratings (in order): Dodge Neon, Nissan Sentra, Mazda 3.

 

Subaru is officially #1 for the year according to Consumer Reports.

 

anyone have a tip on how to take the shifting *** off? cuz i've been turning the heck out of it for like 3 days straight now. and no results.. i dont want to brake the thing.. I'm trying to put on my brothers Celica shifting ***..

 

I know the rx-8 has a 6 speed option. Now, can I (In any way) fit this to my seond gen?
Mounts in a different area?
Motor to tranny totally different?

I must know! I shall now search the threads and waste away my life......

 

what they don't tell you is mazda 3s don't handle like *** so you can just avoid the accidents...

 

sounds to me like it's stripped ... it should just spin right off, I'm sure jason has some S4 shifter bottoms he can sell you.

 

If you've been spinning it COUNTER CLOCKWISE for three days.....pull up! If that dosn't werk...
Dremel that ****!

Or bring whatever **** **** you want to the fuds in 12 days and we can get it done!

 

I know how to put a 6 speed in there, but you'll have to bolt a piston engine in with it

 

I belive it is the same as the Miata 6-speed. I also belive that it has a different bolt pattern and tail-block, so fitting it will be interesting

HKS makes a six speed dogmission, no overdrive though :p

Bring it on over. I'll get a look at it.

 

Stock ****? don't you need to hold that lock nut first?

 

every shifter I've taken off you just have to spin it off... I don't think there is a locknut.

 

huh... mine had one. I think newer cars nowadays do that.

 

That would be for 31mph side impact test (though there is little surprise there...I think we all fear the T-bone impact). Frontal crash test are rated high though.

 

Tofu (Jason) the weather is getting better. Are we going to start meeting up at John's garage again?

 

As soon as school is out!

 

yay for 200 pages

 

i'll stick with my STEEL car thats already battle-proven
