MGW Shifter arrived today... WOW!

Taboo · August 16th, 2007, 05:00 PM

In anticipation of my Whipple (that is stuck in Canada Customs!), I ordered up a MGW short shifter to help get the power to the pavement.

It arrived today. 2 hours later it's IN. WOW!

I used jackstands to put it in, which meant I was clambering around with very little clearance but it wasn't that bad.

Just came back from my maiden voyage and holy crap is all I can say! :award

HMUSN · August 16th, 2007, 05:01 PM

yup.

MGW is def. a good shifter.

06RedfireGT · August 16th, 2007, 05:06 PM

cool

Taboo · August 16th, 2007, 05:20 PM

It does feel a tad notchy...maybe it's just me? Or maybe it needs a break in period?

The shifts are precise though. It's set to 50% so there is sure not a lot between 1/2/3/4/5!!!

RStrick0352 · August 16th, 2007, 05:29 PM

yea, it seems like all the shifters need some kind of a break in. My Steeda certainly did, jus give it time and you'll turn it into butter.

Sweet man, MGW is the only way to go.

...that's what you guys kept telling me!

In between posts I had to go to the store, just because....hahaha...love it!

glad you like the shifter, I want one on mine but I have more important mods to do first.

By the way, a shifter doesn't help put power to the ground :wink

I know, not technically speaking...but you can get between gears faster, that's what I meant.

I absolutely hated my short throw the first day i got it, but after like a week it really did become like butter.

TheUNZippee! · August 17th, 2007, 09:06 PM

This is good news, as I have been thinking of getting this shifter. Glad you like it, and thanks for passing the good news on man.

HMUSN · August 17th, 2007, 09:07 PM

hey zippo!

TheUNZippee! · August 17th, 2007, 09:08 PM

Hiya HMUSNey

HMUSN · August 17th, 2007, 09:09 PM

I think you need the headlight mod

TheUNZippee! · August 17th, 2007, 09:10 PM

Me see no link?

TheUNZippee! · August 17th, 2007, 09:11 PM

N/M...I've been awake since midnight....been a long day lol

*goes to click*

HMUSN · August 17th, 2007, 09:11 PM

look up

TheUNZippee! · August 17th, 2007, 09:15 PM

Got it. Sorry, been a long day. I started my last shift at midnight, drove back from Montreal, got to Sarnia about 6:30 am, left work at 8 am after vacuuming the car inside, got home around noon, washed the car to get it ready for a two day show they have here every year, and hit the show around 4, only to have it start raining around 6:30. @!(*$!#!!

Supposed to be clear tomorrow, other than the fact I have to detail the car all over again. Scored a few pics, and a sound clip of this ridiculously badass sounding Nova, which I'll toss up in Pictures in a sec. Hopefully I'll have a bunch of pictures tomorrow. They usually have 4-500 cars lining our main street here, with a live rock & roll band playing.

As for that link...... all I can say is :O & wow. I had been wondering how those would look on my black car, as if would it be too much black. I think that answer my question. *bookmarked*

Thanks man

HMUSN · August 17th, 2007, 09:18 PM

I liked it a lot.

It really gives is a meaner stance imo.

there is a lot of threads for you to catch up on zip.

oh and if you ever need tips on detailing your ride.. he is the guy to e-mail.

just give him my screen name...

you know the new meguriers wax?

yea.. that's his car on the bottle.. he does all his own work.

TheUNZippee! · August 17th, 2007, 09:21 PM

Cool, thanks. Wait till' you see me get done with mine using that new Ultra Finish i was talking about. Assuming it doesn't rain. lol
