I have a TWM short shifter and base bushings.
Easier to install than you would think and shortens the throw by about 30%.
Great mod.

one is just the pivot ball (minimal replacement), the other is the full assembly, I'd go for the full assembly myself just so you know it will all work a-ok and get the max potential out of it.

Hey Stevo, I see your white turbo FD on BYP racing. Nice

On another note, I managed to align my headlights to an acceptable level, without having to take out the headlight itself. But I still have to take it out, to reach the screw that moves it sideways.

This retrofit Projectors is troublesome for a noob like me =[

I have the TWM short shift kit with base bushings and shifter bushings. Shifting is nice and crisp with 30-40% reduced throw.

Honda_FD look up "x-intake mod" I did it when I first got my car.

So I'm done done done. No pictures, just, need to find a good place to take photos.

I'm already looking for more performance out of my retro fits, and thinking of getting a whole new set of projectors.. lol!

Btw, is this legal?

BWM's seem to have a yellow light in their housing which is on all the time ... I got distracted by it thinking one was going to pull in on me last night on the freeway -_-

I was thinking of checking out this car soon: http://www.carsales.com.au/dealer/de.../?Cr=7&sdmvc=1

How much should I be offering? Was thinking of trying to get it down to 17 or 17.5

Check this out!
