I think these are similar to the one I bought:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Lance...Q5fCarQ5fParts
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/00-03...Q5fAccessories
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/SHORT...Q5fAccessories
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/SHORT...Q5fAccessories

But S2kracka is the authority on this, check with him to be sure. GL!

All of the above links are the same shifter that a lot of us are using; the top link is the best deal at under $30 shipped though!

I never thought COBB was going to get so popular among evo owners because they are more of a Subie company but people are really accepting of them. Exhaust looks nice.

Hey Bster13 and Smike sorry to be chiming in so late. You guys definitely pulled a dedicated install that weekend. Its nice to see members of this forum show such camaraderie. It was a pleasure to stop by and meet up with you guys.

The car felt solid. Get the brake ducts in and finish tweaking the tune and get this thing out on the track.

This was my estimated power from DLL. Smike has been tweaking it since, as it's still pretty rough, but here was an idea of my power after the first wknd.

Got an alignment on the car finally:



Took awhile because they initially stated they could only get -1.1 camber up front, when I asked for the GTWORX recommended -1.8 up front (street/road course recommendations).

The guy who has owned the shop for 30 years stated that the difference between -1.1 and -1.8 is splitting hairs, but after walking around back and speaking to the workers, they understood my beef as I'll be taking this car to the track. I asked them if they flipped the top bolt as it is a bit eccentric, and they said "no it's not." they brought the bolt back to me and I showed them, and they had an "a ha!" moment and cranked out the alignments to my specs. Nice guys, they just weren't very familiar with the car, no sweat, I'd go there again.

My only question is...is the small differences in the front and rear between left and right ok? They said that was well within the tolerance and I didn't know enough to further question them. thx.

Man, that appears to be a near-perfect alignment. I'm having trouble with my shop getting the back to where I want it. They can't get the rear toe to 0 without the camber being all crazy. Likewise, if they got my rear camber to -1.3 to -1.5, the toe wouldn't be correct. Frustrating...
