ok - back on 968 projects pretty much full time for the next couple of weeks



i need a car here for an hour or so that does NOT have a short shift kit or a modified shifter - who wants to pop over for a beer while i take some measurements?

That's usually me - but I have the Stuttgart shift block installed, and it's my understanding that the short shift kit and the shift block are not compatible. However, if I have that wrong,...

t-bone - absolutely - in fact, we need to talk about popping out to riverside for the fitting session of the other unit too



anchorman - this kit should still work with the shift block - won't know for sure though until we install it - i have abandoned the concept of a rear mounting kit - it got too complicated, too expensive to make, resulting in a retail price that would have been tough for many to swallow - it would have required getting under the car and wrestling with it too, and ultimately we were going to have to be spending a LOT of time on the phone helping people figure out how to adjust it - in the end, that just didn't seem like a good move for anybody



bio - got it



duckman - i will be returning yours shortly - thank you very much for the loan - i will drill the screw as promised, and include the safety wire

Well, if I have to fall to #2, I guess I can suffer that...but when you offered to step into the first spot, I didn't respond because I thought there was the aforementioned conflict. If there won't be, then...as the Everly Brothers said so well, LET IT BE ME, or as the Cardigans said, HEY! GET OUT OF MY WAY! <img src="/forum/images/smilies/968/biggrin.gif" class="smilie" alt="" /> <img src="/forum/images/smilies/968/tongue.gif" class="smilie" alt="" /> <img src="/forum/images/smilies/968/happy.gif" class="smilie" alt="" />

I have Strut Brace #1, so no need to be selfish about it. Room in this tent for everyone. With all of the mods available we will all eventually have #1 of something Design1Racing/RS Barn.



Way to go guys,



Jay
