What a great looking car! Very nicely done.
How do you shift into reverse? Do you have to use 2 hands? Just an FYI, you can use wrx sti shift *****, they are the same thread and have the reverse lockout. I have a plain black derlin shift **** that I got off ebay for like $25 that's marketed for an sti but it works on the v160/161 as well. It may not go with your luxury look, but just a thought. I think a stock supra **** (leather wrapped) would go nicely and you could use the stock reverse lockout.

Dying to know what you used for your pedal assembly! I have an old SC assembly but it doesnt look to be a good fit. I looked into the "universal" pedal assembly by wilwood but I read somewhere that it doesnt work, just wanted some ideas before I try this myself. Thanks!

As for S&O Tek, I've known Stan and Omar since '04. This is the second car I've bout from them. They work clean, fair, fast and back their work. The way I see it, I would rather do it once and do it right. Too many people have wasted money with shortcuts and trying to save money by sending their car to the cheapest guy, but end up spending more fixing mistakes. Rodney's car goes between NYC and FL, which is basically the same distance from Houston to Ft.Lauderdale. Drive it down or have them come up to Texas and have them do the build here. They will do it. I'll PM you the number.....Sorry for the thread jack guys.
