The bodyshop was supposed to fix that but didn't. I'm not going to worry about it, if he cares he can take it back :)

Re: GheyrodX - bigger, fatter, gheyer!

the side by side shots are great.

Re: GheyrodX - bigger, fatter, gheyer!

Nice pics, the car looks nicer with lighter colored wheels.

Man, your X looks very nice! Looks great lowered, should have this stance from the factory. Is the inside of the wing gray/black or carbon fiber?

Black plastic. I wish it were either carbon fiber on the underside or just body color.

Someone on EvoXForums did this and I got a pretty good laugh from it:

They're all a bunch of newbs that don't know shit, including you when you're on there.

The IX rules. ;)

Re: GheyrodX - bigger, fatter, gheyer!

Hahahah that pic is awesome!

Re: GheyrodX - bigger, fatter, gheyer!

In the name of science, and my anal obsession with having the best possible setup, I removed my WORKS shifter and installed a TWM just to get a feel for the differences. I'll sell the one I then decide isn't my favorite.

Initial impressions are the TWM has shorter throw, the knob sits lower, and it centers the knob in the shift boot area. It is not as comfortable for relaxed driving (keeping my elbow on the arm rest) though; the WORKS put the knob in the perfect location as far as that's concerned. I haven't done any actual driving yet (just pulled out and back into my garage) so I will know more later today after I give it a good drive.

Comparison of stock vs. TWM vs. WORKS. You'll notice that TWM's knob height is the lowest, but WORKS has the longest lever below the fulcrum ball. The stock angles the knob slightly rearward, TWM brings it to the left, and WORKS does both rearward and left.

Re: GheyrodX - bigger, fatter, gheyer!

Damn! You crazy mofo! Interested to see how you like them. Works seems best from the fulcrum point of view, how long is the swap for ya? Gah I don't wanna pull the console apart on mine :P

I had mine apart for like the 10th time today. The connector for the front o2 is buried behind the console toward the firewall. Didn't solve my issue. meh.

LOL will it make you mad if I told you I figured out how to get at that plug w/o pulling the console apart? :D F U Mitsu for putting something you would need to access when you are mega dirty in the interior where you really don't wanna be anything but clean!
