I'm at work and I wet my pants!

It looked pretty good up until that one point...

Intrigue 8 10-13-2004 02:57 PM

is it me or does the hood look bent? or is it supposed to open from the back? i think i could make a jacket with that boot. lol

He has that hood mod that slightly raises the back end. Supposedly, it helps cool the engine bay. Why is the shifter so long!?

cas2themoe 10-13-2004 03:36 PM

why the hell is the shifter sooooo long? Who the hell wants to switch gears from all the way up there?

Mugatu 10-13-2004 03:38 PM

I can only speculate that it is better to shift up high if you keep your hands at the 10 o'clock /2 o'clock positions. I have seen shifters similar to that in rally racing, but never in a car like this....especially with a shift boot like that.

I don't get it, as much as I love 7's that's just wrong, why would anyone do that to their car?!

Napboy 10-13-2004 04:09 PM

jeez, that shift boot looks like a leather wedding dress!!!

What's up with the shift boot? Looks like a garbage bag prom dress.

If you read his mods, it says he has a "Ikeya Formula Sequential Gear Shift" i guess it could be a sequential system out of a rally car....they do have this......but why to huge boot?? and why cant it be lower???

epitrochoid 10-13-2004 05:15 PM

its a sequential shifter...they take more force to move so you need a longer lever, but damn, not that long

Quicker to shift from up there. Less bending of the wrist etc. Also keeps your hands closer to the important part of controling the car.

legokcen 10-13-2004 09:14 PM

I wonder how many cows had to die so that he could have that shift boot!!! :)

it looks like a creepy guy with a leather coat is dead in the chassis, a la rigor mortus and his arm is sticking up in the air
