    Default Best $100 youve spent on a mod?

    Well, before today I would have had to say the $25 I spent on subframe inserts.... but now...



    +



    = a completely new car!

    $20 for the clutchstop, and $70 for the weighted short shifter (not a SSK, but a shorter shifter). The car drives so differently now, I had to cut down the clutchstop and drill the hole wider, but it was a simple installation.

    So, what was yours?...

    Is that the weighted shifter I've seen on eBay? I've been debating that... but when I get a short shifter, the knob may disappear underneath the boot heh!

    EDIT: Yeah it is! That's the stock picture!

    Qube, thats it, got it today, and Im impressed. It feels a whole lot better than stock, or the Mtechnik OEM knobs Ive had...

    Heres the auction, quick shipping too!

    http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...RK%3AMEWN%3AIT

    He didnt have any for sale when I asked him a question about them, he immediately put up another auction for me and I used Buy it now.

    Oh, and Im installing an E30 M3 shifter this weekend.... Ill let you know how it sits... but from all of the reading Ive been doing on it, it sits at stock height and just reduces throw. The UUC Evo3 actually has height adjustment if thats the way your going (there is a GB on them on BF.c right now, $238... best price Ive seen)

    Hak.. What exactly is the difference in feel, it seems that the pivot point and shifter length are the same regardless of the knob placed on them. I just don't understand how there can be a different feel in the shifting.
