Did you know that Hurst makes a MINI shifter?





Good, cause they dont.

Ive only seen one other MINI with a Hurst in it, and it was a pistol grip.

 

ugh that looks very weird?!

 

Do you have to have a mullet to get one?

 

It must be nuts cruising at 80mph/6000rpm in fourth gear

 

hey, hey, i'm workin on it, gimme some time

 

That guy doesn't even know what a Mini is.

 

just kiddn...I was seriously thinking of having Doug Whelen fit a Hurst pistol grip onto his quick release. Do you have any pics of your friend's pistol grip Mini?

While you're adding two more gears to the shift ****, you should consider making it a 10 speed

 

I asked him about it before, and thats where i got the idea.

I would have a Pistol Grip in my car had they not cost $250 bucks for a new one. I found a company that makes screw on replica Hurst PG ***** for Mustangs, and those are only 50 bucks, so i may get one of those eventually.

For now, im going to find another ball with a 6 speed pattern, or just make one, and get a brushed Hurst T handle.

The car feels alot more like a muscle car now, just without as much slop in the gears.

 

Now, who makes 4 lug Aluminum slots or Magnum 500s?

 

I mispoke...I meant the Hurst T-shifter

 

I made a Hurst 4 Speed ball fit on a threaded MINI shifter.

They are all made of soft metal. I used a 12mm tap and tapped the threads on the shifter, then, drilled and retapped the ****. fit like a charm the first time.



That right there is on a Fidanza SS. Actually, the shifter and the ball are for sale, i dont need them now that ive made this new one.

Its fits pre 10/03 cars, $75 bucks for the shifter and ****.

 

I need a CB though

 

hrmm... no one else but me is allowed to have such as sweet CB as me.


Ok, i wont get an MSD coil pack of you dont get a SWEET CB like mine

 

Too late...the CBs been in the plan since last MOTD when the cell became useless down in the Dragon's crotch

 

YES! another MINI with a CB, finally.

My handle is Rubber Ducky, keep a look out for me on the Dragon, or on the trip down, I suppose you guys are gonna meet up with us MININEO guys somehere down the line.

 

Just you and me? Cool...we can talk smack about the others while down there

 

haha, and i'll have a police scanner by then (hopefully) so we'll know where all the bears ar at.

 

I don't know guys that shifter looks bad@$$. Only thing is shifting looks difficult with the angle of the stick.

 

 

Looking tight rick...

 

Thx for the positive comments guys.


Wait till you see my new steering wheel next week.

 

Let me guess: wood rimmed chrome three spoker with holes, a chrome moon cap horn button and a brody ****.

What did I win?

 

Nah, i decided not to go old school on the wheel too....

Just a pretty, simple Autotecnica wheel. Leather/perforated vinyl covered.



the paintwork on it front the factory was pretty crappy. i'm redoing it now to see if i can make it a little nicer.

 

well done buddy

 

I dedicate this to Rick-N-White Cooper
