    Short shifter

    cant really speak for short shifters other than i have *heard* that sometimes they have issues with rubbing on the exhaust. i can reccomend however that you get energy suspension shift bushings, they really make a difference.

    Your thoughts on oil vanishing...

    yeah, i almost always check it when its cold{not ran for 6-12 hours} and on occasion i'll check it when getting gas, checking it cold looks a little better but not by much. maybe i should just let the damn thing self destruct:twisted: also not sure if this is relevant, but it never passes much...
