Well.... maybe I lied. It bends just like the stock bumper. It's very forgiving. So, is that not ABS? Whatever, I'm not dragging the car and I'm careful.

ABS is fine, but polyurethane is da bomb....lol. I've scraped my poly lip plenty of times and it barely has any scuffs or anything.

In preparation for my track day on Friday I've had to get off my butt and get some things done.

Here's my new poor man's fastline shifter.

How you ask?
1. Get a turnbuckle (most hardware store have 'em)
2. Re-Drill both ends with a 8.5 metric drill bit
3. Tap both ends with a M10 x 1.5 tap.
4. Get a M10 x 1.5 bolt, cut off the head and clean the threads on the cut end, you may have to use a die.
5. Assemble:
a. Thread the bolt into the shift **** (do not use weighted shift *****).
b. Thread other end of the bolt into on end of the turnbuckle.
c. Thread a M10 X 1.5 nut onto the shifter.
d. Thread the turnbuckle onth the shifter.
e. Tighten nut to turnbuckle.

It will ONLY be used on tracks. For testing, I've been puttin' around town it and it's fun but it blocks my cup holder

is that so you don't have to move your hand so far from the steering wheel to the shifter?

that is correct, but is not efficient for dd'ing a car. It's for lower speed courses where gear changes are frequent and require constant attention to the steering wheel.
