Looks sweet Sam. Nice work. The car's coming along beautifully, and it was gorgeous to start with.

I installed the Levoc shifter on friday, then un-installed it yesterday. I prefer the feel of the factory shifter.

Looks good Sam! Curious to know why not to use Sikaflex to put them on though?

It spreads and bleeds like a .....! If you were going to use it, I'd still recommend removing the ridges from the original door sill and only using 4 or 5 little blobs to hold it in place. I used a long thin line of the stuff, about 5mm wide and the length of the scuff plate, minus about 2 inches on either end and it squished out all over the shop. Mad a huge, very hard to remove mess and simply created a lot more work and expense in the long run. It only took about 10 minutes to remove the ridges from each sill and sits nice and flush with the rest.

I thought the white Sikaflex added a unique look though Sam kinda broke up all that black

I wish they said "SOARER" or "TOYOTA" instead of Lexus :-(
Looks awesome though!

Sambo, don't sell the Levoc shifter, come and see Uncle Peter, and we'll get it looking schmick. Methinks you need a bit of ageing in the bottle (you've got a lot of that)... I guarantee we can make the shifter totally schmick... send me a PM if you want to try it... all the best ....Peter

Thanks mate, I've already put the factory one back in and committed to the sale. Plus, after driving around for a couple of days with the factory one back in, I definitely prefer it. Much appreciated Uncle Peter.

If it wasn't because the Levoc was so pretty I would be inclined to do the same.
Mine keeps on shaking itself loose. I have to tighten the screws almost once a month.

Stuff the Levoc, Get a manual and a Momo
Then you will only want a short shifter.

Try a little locktite or nail varnish to stop the screws from undoing themselves.

Will do Peter.

I would want a manual David but the shift kit is actually quite OK when you get used to it.

manual would be nicer though .... I'll do it when/if the company/industry takes off again.

Benny, if we're waiting for the great IT revival, I think I should say goodbye to you now, I don't expect, (nor hope), to see 2050....

According to the financial press, IT is booming, and technology shares have not lagged the market in the last few years. I might alternatively be surprised that Benny is not buying Neil's Soarer stock . I suspect it is a short term issue.

To be honest i prefer the auto, driving a manual now feels so clunky and rough :P

I'm in Main Frame systems (machines cost $10M+) so it's not a lightly investment for anyone but I think you're right David, things are slowly picking up. It's just a question of being in the right place at the right time.
