I would even like to try to do it myself as long as Mr. Gonzalez doesn't mind me asking questions on the best way to do each step - seeing as how he's done it twice now and obviously knows what he's doing.

R+M, whatever happened with your concern for the rear links, axle shafts, and PPF? Have you solved those problems yet? BTW, I have the illuminated shifter ****(no pictures) and I like it except that it tends to be brighter than the rest of the gauge set and it does not dim with the dash lighting control. Plus, you MUST be very careful with the way you route the wires as the are single-strand conductors which are easily broken. If you get the kit keep in mind that, even though it comes with extra foam insulation and a replacement shifter boot, with careful installation you can easily re-use the factory insulation and shifter boot.

Charles,
I just whant to see a picture of the illuminated shifter ****, to see if I like it..............
if anyone have a picture plase post it.
on the rear links, axle shafts, and PPF I'm not having problems I'm not launching the car at high rpms...................................
I' m runing 525 hp only but rgonza is runing 700 + hp and he is having problems with the links he broke a few of them.............................
Now he is runing a bigger turbo plus nitrous.........................
We whant to take a few videos of the cars but on this days we're so busy on our respective works so I don't know when we're goin to make them.
My car is so reliable I was using it for the last four weeks on daily basic and making long
trips without any problem!

Robert and I were talking about making a set or rear links out of titanium but I had not heard back from him. I am wondering if he is still interested in such a set up. Have him contact me, will ya?

BTW, the illuminated shifter is backlit red L.E.D. with the shifter gate graphic like the factory **** and chrome trim instead of brushed nickel and a stiched leather cover. The **** gets a bit warm after a few hours of driving but it isn't a big deal.

La mierda, después de ver esto, yo soy un gringo que nunca será satisfecho hasta que tenga realmente esto.
Mis amigos, eso es un trabajo asombroso.
Usted tiene mucha habilidad, y yo espero que usted pueda abrir una tienda de la conversión en PR a apenas esta clase del trabajo.
Yo le saludo.

than one perfect!
this is for fun, thanks to god each one (rgonza and I), have our own
business making good money, so rgonza don't have any interest on
make a business of this, is just fun!
the other day one guy offer to buy my car (to be honest it's the third one)
I say No, I enjoy to much this car, and if I sell it I'm goin to buy another
car to make another project, so I prefer to keep the car with me.

Manuel, I already p.m.'d Robert and I am sure we'll be talking soon. In my experience, the best place to get any factory Mazda or MazdaSpeed parts is Trussville Mazda. They are on-line and have the best prices and quickest shipping. I don't think you'll be disappointed with the shifter ****. Have you also considered the red footwell lighting kit?
