New bits for hachi

[Ian.G]

As I'm sure most of you know my hachi was modified to hell when it left the motherland.

One of the areas of weakness on the car was the gear shift. Its the standard long throw toyota item with very warn bushes. Whilst the gearbox was rebuilt the throw and sloppyness of the shifter dont do it justice.

Today I've placed an order with Gabriel at T3 for a few new bits

T3 Short shifter with delrin bushing.


My car also came with a cat pipe which I'm sure is robbing the car of power as the system reduces in diameter where the cat is. So - a new T3 'test pipe' will sort all that out.



A question you guys may be able to answer - in my cat pipe there is some probe/sensor after the cat. Any ideas what this is for ? the o2 sensor is in the exhaust headers so its not that.

I also ordered a a front tow hook as I'm sure it will end up in the gravel at some point LOL



And to round off the new shifter I also won a new TRD gearknob (what a tart) on UK ebay for a fraction of the price of ordering



would have preferred a duracon one but you cant be chosey when stuff is cheap.

Will let you know how the shifter feels when it arrives early next week.
