sounds interesting..
how does it compare to s2000 type of shifting action?
I have only driven two of them but from memory id say they are very similar in that they have the short precise yet smooth shift action .
I am beggining to think that some of our forum members have been out
celebrating St PATRICKS Day a weeeeee bit to early :D
cheers

Hey Gomez, how do you get those sharp pictures? I bought a digital camera yesterday. Never used one before. It's a Nikon as all my film stuff is and I can't get much out of it. The pictures are not sharp. I'm trying to do close ups of the shifter for the website. I tried using two strobes and it came out darker. I tried three light sorces and it still didn't do much. I'm using slaves on the external strobes.
Got any hints, did I buy the wrong camerwa? Lets see if I can get you a sample in here.
Forget the samples I'll have to figure that out too.

My advice....point and shoot!!! That's all I do
. I have a Canon IXUS 400 4 megapixel jobbie that cost $500. You need a picture editor to resize them though. I use a program called Photoshop. It came with the camera. It's very popular and I'm sure someone close to home could hook you up with a copy.Good Luck....call Hollywood and ask for help :D .
Your mate,

Short shifter is available through the HYMSTER , at $ 350.00 its a great mod i havent stopped driving my car since i installed mine :D Hymee may have a few left from the last shipment pm HIM .
Swaybars should arrive in a few days they were ordered on the 4th of March , there were none in stock so it takes them 10 / 12 working days to manufacture i will pass them on ASAP.
Cheers

On taking digital close-ups - most cameras have a macro setting - at least my Can IXUS 400 does. You can use it out to reasonable distances, and can be used for tight portraits without too much distortion. The word "macro" in this context isn't really a semi-micro setting.
