    i had a chassis mounted shifter in my e36 rally car with rubber engine and trans mounts and when you tried to shift in a corner the shifter would go out of alignment with the gearbox and miss gears, so i went to a z3 shifter which is short but mounted completely to the gearbox to solve that issue

    • @Talynen
      @Talynen 3 года назад

      Sounds like the 90s Honda shifters - metal linkages suspended from the chassis by a rubber bushing so it moves around with the gearbox as the transmission mounts flex. Never had trouble shifting mid corner with them.

I think you should hold on to it as a fun car to just hit the track for when you need a break from the other builds.

    A really fun looking video!
    A suggestion though - if you could coordinate/synchronize some of what you're talking about with some outside shots showing the car taking some of those corners or accelerating on the straights - would bump it up more. I realize there maybe logistics issues such as track rules and it may take more time to edit the vids and stuff - but just food for thought!? (oh maybe camera's mounted outside on the car?!) Like at around 07:22 - hahaha power slide and the replay slow-mo shot was fun! but also an outside shot would of made it more awsome I think - like 12:35 and so - but u know, as I said, coordinate some of the sequences. Anyways - *hugs* thanks for taking us on your adventures!
