installed a kartboy short shifter with front and rear bushings, i think this should have been the first thing that i ever did to the car, its so much better than stock! it went much smoother then i anticipated after reading some problems other people had putting these in.
and forgot to say I am having the plan of installing new tire But little bit confused what to use anybody have any Idea about it?

they have a new shifter? I dont see it on their website. Looks like it still needs to be modded in order to fit the center console. Any luck making up some dimension specific to the mod on your shifter MN?

Setup the removable fork mount bike carrier. Both of my "big bikes" fit great. Can carry 3 people + bike without a fuss. Lovin it (aside form the hideous drop-cloth)

I like that what size wheels on those bikes? I have a 29er and would assume that should fit no problem

They are both 21.5" Frames.
The Gary Fisher is a Kaitai XL with 700 x 35 wheel/tires. The Trek is a Top Fuel XL with 26x2.2" wheel/tires

You can easily fit a large 29er in there with room to spare, but you may have to push the front seat up a bit to get it to fit well. The Fisher and my singlespeed (both 700c wheels) fit fine without moving the front seat up, as the skinnier tire fits perfectly in the space between the seat and the B column

The mount is Saris Part#TR1BLK

I plan on getting another one and making mounting points so that I can haul 2 bikes with both rear seats down and not have to have the front seats up at all. Should be a piece of cake. I have the fork mount secured using machine screws and T-Nuts so it can be moved easily, and other mounting locations would be a snap to setup on the same mounting board.

Here are some more pics;

The piece of ply (1x6) is cut to a length that fits perfectly in the outcroppings of the rear trim panels. I wrapped the ends of the ply in old inner tubes to keep the panel from getting marred up from the wood, and it also makes it fit more snug. Doesn't budge a mm once a bike is in, but pulls right out when not in use.

I plan to get a black floor mat from Home Depot sometime and cut it to fit so that I dont have that swag for long. I would like to cover the board with the same material.

Installed H-Fit hard shifter bushings today. Since I already installed the transmission hard shifter bushings, there was very minimal differences from before and after I installed the H-Fit hard shifter bushings. However, the combination of both bushing kits + the Mugen short shifter makes for an excellent feel when I shift while driving.

I also installed two new tires today and just found out one of my tires has a separated belt, so I'll be getting another tire this week. Once all that is said and done, it should be fun to drive again.

I'll post a pic or two of them fitted once I've given the old girl a wash.
