snapped shifter So last night i snapped my shifter in half bangin second gear, anyone know where to get the stock hurst shifter i wasn't sure if the one on the SLP website is the original one ! thanks a lot
How did you snap that ****? Is the Hurst rod thinner than the stocker?? I mean I had to bore out and retap the largest B&M t handle I could find to fit the damn stick. Everywhere I went to find the drill bit and the tap thought I was crazy when I told them how wide in diameter the damned shifter stick was.
I've seen my friend snap his shifter in his Prelude, but the stick in that thing is stupid skinny, I can't believe you broke a 4th gen stick.

Hahaha welded on?
Once the whole left side exhaust pipe fell down on my impala, the hanger broke, so I jumped out in a suit (it was graduation night) and got the hanger for my cap and gown, and bent it to hold the exhaust up, lol. Mexican Engineering hahaha(oh by the way I am Mexican so nobody get offended)

Welded? Thats nice man. My cousin HAD a truck that the windshield was held in place by duct tape. So was the back window, actually. Holes in the body were covered with it also. I love how creative people can get.

I got a SLP shifter with a way short stainless stick off of ebay for around $115. Been extremely pleased. Most people who have drove my car say its the shortest shifter they have ever felt. The B&M t handle I use sits just about level with the height of the center console, when you put your arm there your hand rests on top of the handle.
