Qman Posted November 9, 2004 Share Posted November 9, 2004 I picked up a Nardi wheel and shifter from another board member and was going to install them into the kids 3dr but decided I'd like them more. I believe these came from a JDM Impreza.

archemitis Posted November 9, 2004 Share Posted November 9, 2004 you need to cut that ****er down so you dont punch your heater controlls when you shift. i cut mine down about 4 inches shorter than stock, i like it lots. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Qman Posted November 9, 2004 Author Share Posted November 9, 2004 wonder how well something like that would fit in my wagon??? It will bolt right into a gen3 vehicle. I had to modify it to fit the Brat. Basically, I cut out the hubs from the Nardi and the stock wheel. Then rewelded the stock hub onto the Nardi. It required me to enlarge the hole to fit it though. Arch, I plan to cut it down later. (I am actually going to try and fab a short shifter for the Brat) It is about the same height as stock just looks and feels better.

carfreak85 Posted November 16, 2004 Share Posted November 16, 2004 Hey Ken, I've had mine for over a year. I just used the Momo hub/adapter. They are really rare, but they are out there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skip Posted November 17, 2004 Share Posted November 17, 2004 Nice work, wheel looks bloody factory mate! As for the short throw shifter, I made one for my Brat. Little grinding, little welding on the connection piece from the tranny to the shifter. (part notorious for causing a sloppy shifter). And a spacer is needed to lengthen the distance from the pivot to the fulcrum on the botton of the shifter. (I used a 1/4" pipe nipple) I have picts and a drawing if you are interested.

Skip Posted November 18, 2004 Share Posted November 18, 2004 Sorry no, I used the proven "slot and bolt "method to cure the slop. Well you may have seen the drawing there as I did both at the same time. I should do a retro post on both and quit h-jackin' Ken's knob an wheel post.
