From what I've seen in the past 12 months, that's not that bad

dude...why are you complaining? I have to pay 1000 to get from Bagram to Dubai and then 1,600 from there to the states!

Watching Afro Samurai.

Considering I have 12 months to save for it, I don't think its that bad either.

well, time for me to go make someone cry, be back later

Charles, you cut and re-welded your shifter shaft correct?

ChinoCharles · 01-28-2009, 12:08 PM

Correctamundo.

PK, it looks like Thomas is handling that one. Thanks for keeping your eyes peeled!

Well, I'd like to do the same thing. Is there a certain spot you'd recommend cutting it at? Or anything you would do different?

I would have cut it down a little less. I'd recommend nothing more than an inch and a half. Cut it from the middle of the shaft. We cut 2 inches off of mine, and then I sat in the car and held the top piece to the bottom at an angle where it felt comfortable and we welded it on that way, so my shifter is kind of custom fit. It pitches toward the rear of the car a little bit. Feels great. If you're going to go that route, make sure the top piece is long enough so the stock shift knob will clear without hitting the angle.

ChinoCharles · 01-28-2009, 12:11 PM

Hahahaha, you're a good guy Pavel. We

you.

I need:

A good idea for a company name
A good idea for a company logo

I own:
chazzum.com

I think its a good domain, but I have no idea what direction to go in with a logo. It sounds like chasm... I was thinking of making a text-based logo where the Z's looked like little chasms, but I think it would look cheesy. I hate conceptualization... someone give me an f'n idea so I can open up Illustrator and get on with the shit.

How about a genie with Chazzum tattooed on its chest? Kind of sounds like "Shazam".

or maybe not.....

I have my web portal too ozftomb.net however I was never able to get my site built

BTW....if anyone was curious the ozf = Ones and Zeros File Tomb. I want to build a file repository for my friends that need places to store stuff for sites like this to make life easier for them.

33OH · 01-28-2009, 12:15 PM

You could always domain forward too, remember. You're not stuck with chazzum if you don't like it.

Personally, with the two Z's in there, I almost think jagged/lightning/etc. with those.

Possibly an arrow somewhere to symbolize moving forward, technology, etc. since it is web design/development.

33OH · 01-28-2009, 12:18 PM

Will clear what?

ChinoCharles · 01-28-2009, 12:24 PM

Basically, if you're going to angle your shifter like me, make sure that angle doesn't start until at least about an inch and a half down the shifter. Otherwise the stock shift knob will hit the angle before it gets a chance to screw on, if that makes any sense.

33OH · 01-28-2009, 12:29 PM

Why did you angle yours? I really don't see a reason personally.

ChinoCharles · 01-28-2009, 12:31 PM

Because I sat in the car and held everything exactly how I thought I wanted it and it turned out to be at an angle. That is kind of what I'm saying... take it as an opportunity to totally fit the shifter to your preferences, but be careful at the same time. You can't get a replacement for that stick without buying the whole cage.

33OH · 01-28-2009, 12:33 PM

Ahh I see. Alright, I'll have to do that. I ordered my boot to be 2.5" shorter already, but I guess I'll have to mess with it.

Thanks
