well, after much sweat, grease, and blood, i finally got the lude shifter in. Its much shorter (at least an inch) and the throws feel more "solid" and stiff. Ran into a couple problems, like the stupid metal bump stops, but thanks for a tip from d98clturbo, i just cut those mofos off. Enjoy the pics

stock height


look at this mess


stock vs prelude shifter, note the difference in height


new shifter installed


showing off two of my newest mods i finally figured out how to put music vids on my dvd player




im going to be doing a full write up and putting it up on my site later when i get more free time

 

oh, forgot to say, i was looking at the pspec shifter, but that whole kit is like $160, i got the shifter for $10 off some guy and installed it myself, saved myself some money

 

That is real sweat... Is there NAV for your video as well or is it strictly entertainment?

 

Nice!

 

nice justin

how much was the shifter?

i am starting slowly on my projector conversion, i will offer it on your website for 5 bucks each since it is a very hard mod to do and most dont want to touch it and if i can walk you through it most said they would pay 5 bucks for instructions like my wood grian removal, step by step with pics

hit me up on aol

 

i dont have NAV, its mainly for entertainment, it plays mp3s as well and TV

 

as i said eariler the shifter was $10

 

shizzle that looks pretty sweet. a 10 dollar shoft shifter huh? I'd be mortified to see my baby all gutted up like that (even if it was temporary.)

yo that looks real clean klepto.... nice job.....where do you get your music video DVD's from????

 

sweet job moo moo


it just looked that bad becuase he didnt UNPLUG everything... plus it looked like his power/rcas went through the middle

 

very nice...

 

nice

...so all u bought was the stock prelude shifter?

 

ur car was in a music video?

 

I download all of them in mpg format, then use that program to burn them i can fit about 75 of them

yup, just the stock prelude shifter part, you'll also need a 6mm bolt and nut and a special metal roller thingie that makes shifter a bit smoother, not really needed, but recomended, i had to buy it from hondaautomotiveparts.com

haha no, the cool thing about the program is that i can put whatever picture i want as a background, so for the main menu i have a pic of my car

 

nice work

 

looks good klepto

 

what program do you use to burn them?? that shit is cool!!!

 

yo Klepto...my bad... what type of burning program and what kind of disks do you use (cd-r or dvd-r)???? thanks homie!!!

 

its called TMPGEnc DVD Author

 

i saved myself some money by just cutting the shifter down and welding a bolt on to it. I used a hurst ball shift knob, so bolt i used was standard thread. i got the same results as he described above. A really solid shifter and i love it. I think total cost was like $1 without the knob of course.

 

that is so ghetto...

 

ahhh, you are so right

 

Yes, yes it is. Speed and function over form and prettiness.

 

really mr know it all scroll up.. i did the same thing and mine looks just fine.. i like having BOTH

 

Thanks for recognizing. Carry on.

 

can i dl it from lime wire or something...??? what kinda disks??? man i want to do that shit~!!!

 

Why dont you just use Nero to burn your stuff. It is only like the most powerful burning software out there...and get it thru BT.

 

I use nero to burn regular cds, with TMPEG, it encodes the .mpgs to video_ts folders that i then burn onto a dvd. I can also create menus and everything with thumbnails

 

im sure you can find it on mirc or something, just search for it. You need a dvd burner though

 

Why dont you use nero to burn DVDs?????

 

did you not read my post? nero doesnt encode the mpgs into the format that i can burn onto the dvd. I cant just burn mpgs straight to the dvd via neros data mode because most dvd players dont recognize that. With the tmpeg program, it encodes and burns it all in one

 

Hey klepto, Did u have to go under the car at all, or was it all inside?

 

all inside, i put up the DIY if anyones interested on my site

click here

 

I quoted you, which means i read it twice. I just havent had your problem so i didnt understand what was wrong.

 

thanks klepto.... my Nero does encode the mpegs.... so it is all good... just takes forever to burn...thanks again homie!!

 

Damn thanx man, good lookin out.
