the cheapest I was able to find the TRD quick shifter was for $250 with tax and shipping from a site thats located here in California. Is there anywhere else I can get it for cheaper. Ok and besides it having 40% shorter throws it is really worth getting it Rusty, since you have one. I was looking at the TWM and it just seems to short for me. Making a custom short shifter just seems like too much work is there any other options.

What makes the TRD so special besides it being TRD, why does the quick shifter set come with the whole shifter assembly and not like the TWM short shifter???

TRD quicker shifter is what it is. Height wise it attempts to keep the same modifies the pivot point to where it links to the shifter cables but making it shorter. Thats how the trd quick shifter produces its quick shifts.

TWM short shifter gets its short shifts by cutting the shifter from the pivot point to the knob. By doing this each throw is cut by X distance cause the shifter is shorter. As a result your hand has to go lower.

Oh one more thing, I have the TRD leather shifter and whenever it gets hot outside the shift knob seems to move around in my hand when I shift fast, the threading isn't made for our 94-99 celica as it didn't have it listed on the back of the packaging. I shouldn't have this problem with the TRD quick shifter right???

or I was just thinking of leaving my stock shifter and adding these on for $70 expensive I know but thats what you'd expect from C-One

Im not quite sure, but the thread type is definitely correct. All shifters threads are 12x1.5 on toyotas. I couldnt answer why it would move around.

sounds like your knob is a fake, or previous owner has done something to the shifter/thread

the c-one link doesn't show anything

oh ya thats right I forgot whenever you ask google to translate it, it only save's the link to the homepage. they are shift lever mount bushings, the ones that go on the bottom of the shifter base. they are aluminum made bushings for around $70 shipped to California

really you think its a fake no way. I bought it from the 10th annual toyota fest event here in southern california. Do you think I screwed it on to hard and messed up the threading???

I wouldn't bother with those C-one bushings, since the TRD quickshifter set & TWM short shifter set(should) come with these. You might have over tighten it which may have destroyed the thread in the knob.

Ok then, I think I've yet you guys wait long enough.

Stickers (most of it I cant understand lol)










HKS Exhaust




HKS camgears



and a HKS silencer



and a little story, was first going to buy the "HKS ST202 Legal exhaust system"...yeah then it was discontinued, ok so I was a bit disappointed, so I thought ok I'll go for the C-one exhaust... and yup you guessed it... discontinued (if you go onto the ST202 C-one page, you see it says discontinued because of me smile.gif , so that means none for the BEAMS engine aswell wink.gif ) So I got the 'HKS Silent Hi power' plus the silencer (just so I dont run into any trouble with the db rating here)

No camshafts yet, I'm still looking around to find the ones I want



and from a while ago which I dont think ive posted, 1.something mm thick sheetmetal for the airbox.









...yup

Yeah was looking at your recent photos you've added, and the look is very similar
HKS silent Hi-power
mine ST202
Type: H (Round Shell)
Main material: SUS304
OD Tail: 115
Diameter Pipe: 65mm
dB: 98 (85dB OEM)

ST205's
Type: H (Round Shell)
Main material: SUS304
OD Tail: 120

future plans with the exhaust (not 100% sure at this stage though) is to paint it in a black hpc coat

OOO very Nice Mods Rusty!!! Im debating the hks hi power exhaust becuase of the way it looks. I've seen from other members stating it sits really low to the ground and the fact that its 65mm piping. at 98db that is considerably louder than the C-One Exhaust. The C-one is rated at 93 db. I wonder how they measure the db rating on exhaust can anybody fill me in with that info. I was thinking about getting a a db reader and taking the reading of my exhaust an post it on the exhaust sound thread.

I don't think you did your homework on the C-one Exhaust their are still some out there on Nengun Auctions!!! http://www.nengun.com/auction/item/t173252626

db rating has been discussed before, check the custom exhaust thread in the NA section. (there are a few different points where they take a reading)


No, reread my above, I never said you cant buy them, I said they were discontinued. C-One don't have any in stock and no longer make them. hmm 65mm lets have a look at a real one, mines 66mm external diameter and 62mm internal.... laugh.gif
did you not see the silencer???

Nengun, rhdjapan, fortyone auto. etc (online japanese part shops) lists parts, then you place an order, then they buy from the manufactures, then the shop sends it to you. Just because they have them listed on their website doesn't mean they have in stock or can order it in, since their websites aren't always up to date.

If I remember correctly you and I cant buy in a japanese yahoo auction unless you live in japan (I maybe be wrong). Then you will run into the problem of the muffler attachment C-One made to fit the exhaust for the BEAMS, since you'll need that aswell.


update:
some better detail shots of the exhaust (silencer out, then in)

Ok I'll check that db exhaust noise out. Yes I'm well aware that C-One does not make them anymore. Since its such a rare exhaust for them to make it would be special order like you said. I'm just hoping and cross my fingers that when the time comes for some miraculous reason the nengun auctions actually has them readily available. And who said anything about the vvt-i attachment, custom exhaust buddy. There is nothing that says you cant make bids on the auctions if you live in California or outside of Japan. If that is the case then I'll talk to someone who is in Japan to buy it for me.

Really 62mm internal exhaust no way. There's also no way in hell you outer side of the exhaust is 66mm look how much bigger it is than the internal part in the pics.. give me measurements on the inside of the exhaust please. It lists the internal part of 65mm on their website and on nengun as well.

if you check the C-one site, you need the attachment for the exhuast to fit, I've not seen what this looks like, so cant see where it'll go. Also the HKS exhaust (93-97.11) I have wont fit the BEAMS without extra work. Honesty I cant remember who said it, but I do remember it coming up a while ago. Best of luck buying the exhaust

ok I'll get my digital vernier calipers out again
