I found a set of shifter linkage bushes that I bought for my old Mazda but never got around to installing along with my old short shifter so I thought why not, and put those suckers in

As you can see i have heaps of clearance between the exhaust and the short shifter. I thought this was going to be an issue as it has been in the past, but due to the exhaust hanging just that little bit lower its a perfect fit







The best job of all was the rear engine mount... even with the engine out it was a pig to remove. I had to drop the sub frame, steering rack, and bend a 17mm opened spanner to get the angle right to undo the nuts. Don’t know how people do it with the engine still it




Along with all the spare parts I also scored a set of japspec front and rear bumpers which will be painted to suit the car when I get back from the UK in may
