I could but I'm on my honeymoon right now so I'm trying to stay off the forums as much as I can this week 
I'll be sure to get back to this thread once I'm back in town! I think I've actually answered that question in this thread before so maybe search in this thread for it a bit.

Here is how Scheides' sits:
The shifter has a small tilt to it and he has it tilted towards the driver's side since he is shorter, but since I am taller and sit further back I have mine tilted towards the rear. We both have ours on the shortest settings.

On to the MAP Crankcase Vents! They've been proven to work on multiple cars and I've help a lot of locals install their set and I haven't heard a single complaint. Most the local Evo's run them along with a lot of a S2k's. On my Evo I noticed a smoother idle, better throttle response, and better fuel mileage. On my S2000 I went from burning 1 qt of oil every 2k miles to zero consumption in 5k miles! Basically what they do a create a vacuum in the crankcase that allows for less drag on the rotating assembly allowing for more efficient operation. The vacuum also helps the piston rings seal better leading to more power and less oil consumption. All in all for the fairly low cost I really do recommend them to all owners.

The fatter end of the vents always go on the valve cover side. One goes between the stock PCV valve and intake manifold and the other goes in the breather hose between the valve cover and intake pipe (or catch-can, or atmosphere, however you have it setup).

Thanks, we spent a lot of time working on it!
The short shift kit on ebay was *really* hard! type in ebay.com then search for "evo short shifter"
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Lance...Q5fCarQ5fParts
Back down to $30 shipped, very nice.
