unless the cage bushings are the same size a stock, I wouldnt use em untill you get a short shifter. DocI's cage bushings usually raise the cage a bit as to compensate for the relocated pivot point.

 

I did end up getting the .600" cage bushing, which do raise it up.

But I had planned on waiting for Dr. I to release a short throw before installing the cage bushings.

Do you think they cage bushings would negatively affect the stock shifter?

 

Try it, see how it feels, if its hard to get into gear, etc. you will know and then so will we.

 

Well it might put extra stress on the cables. In my opinion just doin the cage bushings wouldn't be worth the effort of taking out the shifter to put em in lol. If your getting his short shifter upon release just wait it out a bit.

definitely do the cable bushing though, you'll love em

 

Yeah that's kinda what I was planning on doing, getting all the bushings now and then buying his short throw when its released (i hope!)

On my 07 I had all of his products, the Extreme reduction short throw, cable and cage bushings... Got soooo many comments on the shifter and the feel. I probably miss that and obviously the turbo most about my 07.

I'll definitely let you guys know how much the bushings help, and ill take some pics of the install.

 

Batman,

You know how hard it is to not put on parts as soon as they arrive in the mail LOL

Ill try and wait haha

 

Installed the cable bushings last night, took about 5 minutes with no tools.

The overall feel is much more crisp, the gates feel sharper and the shift throw feels more smooth.

Noticeable difference,

Good buy IMO

 

Installed the 6K HID today

 

haha yeah... I dont think I've ever been able to wait more than 5 minutes after receiving a package to open it, much less wait weeks to play with the new toy haha.

glad to hear you like the bushings, HIDs look nice too

gonna do yellow fogs?

 

Yup.

Haven't had time to remove the underbody panels to get to the bulbs. I don't know what size they are yet!

 

6k looks the best, blue is starting to look ricerish... All the fart can civic kids have em... But I have 6k too. Looks real good.

 

H11

 

scion put H11 bulbs in the fogs?? wow thats pretty bright lol

 

Hey greenbean, is this your old tC?

Yup, dude that bought it lives about 20 min away lol

I'm not sure what all happened but I guess they lost the tune. Even tho the internal memory for the FIC should last for weeks atleast! I don't know why they changed the battery anyways lol I never had a problem.

It is an interesting moral delimma because legally I could just tell the guy to have a nice day, but that's not how scion guys should do, so I talked to him on the phone and I'll probably go down there and show him how it all goes back together. :/

 

can you give us some links of what you got?

 

Looks good! Happy modding!

 

I respect that. "Do unto others.."

 

Hey Greenbean, did you try fitting the 18x10's in the rear?

 

Nice and clean.
I got the Super White about two days ago.
Enjoying it so much right now!
