Im getting a full paintjob with my swap and was seeing what holes i had to make in the firewall if any for the swap. I was thinking i would have to make one for the throttle cable. Would I? Anymore?

BTW this would be in a EG

None for the throttle cable, you just replace the existing one. You may have to drill a hole for the shifter cables depending on how you route them.

why is everyone so quick at cutting into their tunnel

thats the last thing i want to do :S

it looks bad/hackjob imo, every time a see one of those hacks i cringe
everyone does that so you can keep the stock shifter cover on and so it doesn't look all mickey moused or hacked up without the shifter cover. With the cover on over the tunnel you can't even see the cut through the tunnel...

I am interested in seeing some more pic's, what exactly needs to be done to get all this put in, and what exactly is included in your guys little shifter kit?

Before installing the box we installed thin sheet metal over all the edges. Once the box was installed we sealed any holes with dynamat and sheet metal to ensure a leak free install.

I will get some more picks shortly.

The kit comes with everything you need to mount the bracket under the car as well as to mount the shifter box to the bracket.

The shifter and bracket clear the exhaust as well as the center console and cup holders.

We can also provide you with the shifter box if need be.

That is my car in the pics. So far, it seems stock to me. It is very solid. I get just a little radiated heat, no drafts. Will did a great job! :up:

The only drawback I can find is that now I have to put my cig lighter on the left side of the stick! :rolleyes:

i am very aware what the goal is, i just think knowing that i cut into the tunnel like that (even if it doesnt show) would bother me
