  • adamEFwagonadamEFwagon Senior Wagonist

    not alot of modding, just needed to one longer bolt about 3" long and a lock nut, and using the top hole for clip of the inside panel as one of the top hole that the screw to the mirror base and it pretty much in without modifying the mirror bases or the car. :D its not a 100% fit, but with a little work it can be better.

    I realise that the shifter is just for laughs but if you keep using it you will damage your gearbox...
  • stephenstephen Senior Wagonist
    the rear top wing is a bit much for my taste. but the "hood ride" sticker is dope as hell!!!


    i however, have absolutely no comment whatsoever about your wheels.

    could you please explain how it will damage the gear box? ...im not sure i understand...im taking the piece off right away if that is gonna happen?

    As far as i understand, the length of the shifter has different effects not only on the speed of the shift but the angle that it moves the fork.

    From what i've been told, if shifters aren't at the right length you have a much higher chance of bending the forks.

    I could be wrong though. ;)
  • its called leverage, and most likely will bend the forks, plus my brother and his s13 he's got/had i should say one of those dildo looking jdm vip shifters he snaped the threads right of the stick so beware!!!!
  • rasrx7rasrx7 New Wagonist
    point taken...never thought about that much as bending stuff...definitely know it has some affect on the throw..but i use my wagon strictly as a cruiser...have to think twice about speed shifting with it. :D
  • HaydzHaydz Moderator
    I would think that as long as you are concious about it then you should be okay, just take it easy on the shifts. :)

    thanks, its a stick on double sided one. I got it in japan a few years ago, had it on several projects to find out they now sell it at super autobacs here in so cal ...and i just saw it at pep boys last night.. similar mirrors all different brands... :D

  • Actually used some of the cash I got from just selling this to by my wagon.
    85.jpg
    It was the day after I sold it that I saw my wagon sitting up for sale.

    Had a 67 single cab, narrowed 2" beam, dumped to where I had to raise the steering box that I just sold about 6 months back.

    I've still got some vw stuff laying around. if your looking for anything let me know
