Re: Project Lex

Thanks. Yeah it looks a million times better than it did. However it still needs paint. Rock chips and clear coat cracking in some areas, nothing a buffer can fix. And it looks better in pics than in real life, but that's always the case. But either way, still super happy with the results for my first time!

Re: Project Lex

Doing something like this def. helps keep the car cleaner longer, including bugs!

I haven't washed my car for about a month and its finally looking dirty, doesn't help it's been living outside for the last week either but still.

Re: Project Lex

Some small updates. Had to rework the shifter but it's done. Took me a lot of time to get this fitted perfectly that minimal trimming was required of the stock black trim piece. You can see I had to cut a small area on the passenger side, that allows me to get to Reverse. And a very small amount on the drivers side for 1st gear. I have a new shifter boot on the way, and Aaron is hooking me up with an Evo 9 MR 6spd shift knob, thanks again man and lemme know when you find it Oh an also thanks Kerry for donating your 2G shifter for me to hack apart and use at the top of the shifter

Also big thanks to Ricer Pete. He got the car back within the OEM alignment spec best they could. You can see how bad the rear was (due to the work I did on the rear). So thanks again man, car drives straighter than it ever has!

Re: Project Lex

Stock SC300 shifter looks kind of like this:




This trans is much longer, so not really many other choices unless I wanted to do some sort of remote mounted shifter like this, however I don't know how that'd work with having to push down to get into reverse.

Only three coils? Does it fire two at once, wasted spark like a DSM?
