"Why is my car on fire?" and other novice mechanic questions
He's referring to the bottom of the shifter where the old bushings are, stating you don't have to take the shifter out do it while bolted in. Though I would say its simply easier to reinstate the bushings when the shifter is out of the car, especially as my brass ones were press fit so didn't move. You've unbolted it now anyway :yes:

"Why is my car on fire?" and other novice mechanic questions
Ah okay. I made some brass ones for mine so there is no slop. You could probably just hammer the stud out and jsut replace it with a normal bolt and nut I would suggest.

Why are you taking the shifter out Jay? Also which stud broke? One of those two bolts that hold the shifter in?

Project Dittohead Red
Na rack has quicker steering yes. Did you use crush washers when you reinstalled the pipes? Or did you not remove them? Might just be worth a try to put new seals in them It is difficult but not impossible to replace the rack with the engine in.

Carbon Fibre Scuttle Panel posible group buy. Register of interest
Ah okay, Larger than those holes :shock:

Carbon Fibre Scuttle Panel posible group buy. Register of interest
You may be referring to the synergy carbon scuttles which are available to purchase if anybody didn't see my what did you do... today post. If you opt for the slotted ones, they are cut afterwards, as opposed to a mould of them initially from the original such as what I think Ian is going for. Of course when this happens they are bigger slots and not contoured and blended like they should be (also cost more). See: So if this group buy turns to be a success, they should be better and cheaper than the synergy ones, but we'll have to see.

HID Kit
If you put 5000k as pure white, going below that is going to be slightly more yellow. They might vary from manufacturers but I like my 6000ks
-
HID Kit
Correct you just need somewhere to hide the ballasts And 8000k is very blue tinted I prefer 6000 or 5000 for an ice blue/white, or 4500 for a yellowish tinge

Front lower arms.
I did see the other day that some lower arms have a bolt thread for brake air guides that bolt or something similar. May have a pair but they're probably kinds grim and rusty. I'll update you though if they're alright
