hahaha wow I hope it never snows in LA or us non AWDers are not gonna be happy campers. I should get the STi I've been dreaming of hehehe

Good news:

MGW is back and my order is cancelled. I can go pick up the shifter now with peace of mind that I won't spend on two shifters. but I can't pick up today gonna be busy

AWD or 4WD is nice but is not needed, I daily drive an E46 325i BMW without even having snow tires and do fine. People with AWD think they are invincible, I see a Legacy smack off a guard rail after flying be me tearing one of the wheels clean off. LOL

Thats great you got the shifter!

Hey Derek didn't know you were on here, I am an oldie but don't post alot.

I actually drove (2) of my 5.0 LX's all year round and never had a problem either. One had studded Cooper snow tires and I could blast thru 1ft of snow with no issues LOL.

another question on this... since i want to get that shifter in today if I can.

I don't have the lower shift boot that comes oem. will MGW's dust boot suffice or do I absolutely need the oem one as well?

lol sometimes wish I had the phone # of one of you geniuses in here for when I'm stuck. plus I'm hating the previous owner for mutilating the car and removing the inner boot... I should go kick him in the nuts. I know where he lives.

i see you were on 2 yrs 42 days ago lol. I was going to ask how did the shifter work out? I'm going to be getting a TKO 600 more than likley for the 351 that I'm going to build. Linda @ Hanlon Motorsports is supposed to email me a listing of pricing and stuff; if she ever gets to it lol
