Freshly installed (haven't even taken the protective sheet off of the screens yet...


They're rocking the 9.5" with built in IR for the headphones, and I have the lowly 7".

Thank god for dual-zone.

 

Nice work my man, what kind of screens are those? Did you install them yourself?

 

Wow and its kinda silly cause the scion headrests are so close to you when you are in the back...so itll look humongous haha.


Ummm is that a manual?...that is a intense shifter

 

I did the install, about 90 minutes from start to finish.

And yeah, they look pretty big when you're in the backseat. But I only sit about 2 feet away from my 20" computer monitor, so it's not like they're overwhelming.

 

what did you do to you stick shift?????

 

Kinda off topic, but is it just me or is that a really long shiftknob (like the kind on rally cars)?

 

haha holy crap wtf.

 

Is that Spongebob I see ?

There are threads about his shifter somewhere. He prefers not to reach that far to shift :D But if you want to buy one helluva short shift kit... he is the man to talk to.

Nice screens man!

 

that is just plain nuts lol sorry to say but it looks pretty bad lol

 

Spongebob FTW!

It's bent 2" to the left, cage raised 1.25", throw reduced by 75% at stock height, then the shaft is lengthened 4", with a 4" shift ****, for a total height increase of 8". At that height, throws are 30% shorter than stock. It's not there too look at, it's there to do a job-- in 5th gear, the shift handle is less than 8 inches from the steering wheel.

Yeah, that's kinda what I was going for. I've tried about a dozen different **** styles, and with that big of a height addition on the shifter, the **** needs to be more like a handle to actually be comfortable.

 

Not trying to thread jack but thats one awesome shifter! Screens are looking awesome btw!

 

yeah.. got the opportunity to sit in the driver seat and shift around that shifter... it's really niiiiiice

spongebob FTW!

looks good Doc!

 

That's pretty awesome, both screen-wise and shifter-wise. That is pretty hardcore too. Any true racing driver will tell you that the quickest shifter setup would be a short shifter with large height, to where you don't have to even reach down.

I've just never seen that setup in a tC so it was a little shocking at first

And are the boots alcantra/suede?

 

that shift **** is the dumbest **** ive ever seen

 

Yessir, black alcantara from RedlineGoods--love 'em. I have the console cover too, and it may be the best piece of all.

...says the guy who, as best as I can tell, lets his transmission shift for him.

 

so you basically shift by your face? Your hand would be shifting near your shoulder...lol

 

The shifter in neutral is almost even with the plane of the steering wheel (as it should be). In 1-3-5 it's just in front of the wheel, and in 2-4, it's just behind.

If my face were even with the center of the steering wheel... well, I'd be my 3 year old son.

 

Wow.. some people dont grasp much.

That shifter isnt my cup o tea, but with his shift throw and the placement he can outshift anyone with a standard short shifter. Its pretty common sense to include the reach from the wheel to the shifter as PART of your shift. Unless you drive one handed all the time with your hand resting on the shifter, in which case you should learn to drive (Especially if you do ANY hard driving). So he reaches less than half the distance and shifts just as short or shorter than the other shifters out there.

But of course it doesnt "look cool" so it must not function right?

I guess you should have bought a body kit instead doc, then people over here would think it made a performance improvement

 

Thats' funny....though I have nothing against autos.

I like the headrest screens too, but no one will watch them in my car, so I'll buy something esle.

 

im just saying man that looks uncomfortable as hell
