Just installed this exact shortshifter in my 2002 nbfl and man. Should have done this a lot earlier, makes it so much more fun to shift. Did find out my rubber boot is destroyed so that's an extra cost and my cheap shiftknob seems to be lose on it because of the plastic threads it has. But that's on my for cheaping out. Overall recommend getting one to make your miata feel a bit more sporty.

literally anything vroom vroom metal thingy and i’m sprinting in that van

Certified Moment

I would get in the van for a turbo kit

Not realizable.? Mine had almost 300k and engine and chasis was still solid.! I even made a profit when I sold it.! Clean high mileage can still be worth every penny

Clean editing on this one lads

Never though I’d see an e46 off-roading 👍🏼

I still can’t trust maxpeepee rods tho 😅

I like bullying Josh ✨

Great video guys. Keen for more. Glad to see the budget options are catching up.

Guess eveyones jmad and crazily jealous!!!

One of the best head turners out there!! Pin sharp handling, looks, style!!

You are killing me oh please stop saying ( sea leak uh ) ITS (sell uh cuh) pleas learn how to pronounce it corectly

Honestly you could have a 50/50 guilty but for a "fair play" you may give it a second chance, rebuild it correctly and test it in a professional way. I think ou have enogh money to do another video, meccanically talking, it's a good project, if made with good matherials and installed correctly it could be a damn masterpiece...

never owned a miata probably never will im not dropping 10k on a 30 year old car thats weaker than a honda civic

My 2zz made it 236k and probably would've still been running if it were not for an undetected pinhole leak under my upper radiator hose.

Nice video. I just got mine. Can't wait to put them on!

Hah! I drive a blue 2001 GTS (US Spec). That is a beautiful car! Love the color, body kit, suspension and ride height mods, wheels/tires, exhaust. Beautiful, tasteful mods. Glad to see other happy Celica owners enjoying their cars. Drive safe and enjoy!

This is one of the most reliable sportscars ever. Whatt makes you say theyre unreliable??

W on the dash cam

i was looking up products to use on my diff. and these guys make up id say 80% of the MFs using this thing and yeah why tf wouldnt you include everything in the instructions how TF am i supposedto know that the provided instructions arent correct and ihave to also watch a YT vid they did that cover their ass cause so many of thier products werer fckn up. honestly ive never hear ANYTHING GOOOD about racing diffs but thats just me and i live right next to drift HQ they even say its garbage ass product they wont even carry

I bought a fairly clean manual GT Celica a few years ago for $2100. I can attest that these cars are a lot of fun to drive, are cheap and are extremely easy to work on. A few weeks ago I successfully finished a junkyard 2zz swap which was quite doable considering it was my first time attempting something of this caliber. For anyone wanting to have a little fun on the cheap with longevity in mind these cars are an awesome option. The 1/2zz where found in the Toyota matrix, Corolla, Celica, runx and Pontiac vibe, making parts plentiful and cheap in the junkyard.

It’s called “cel la ca”

It's about 40hp boost in lift. The math is pretty simple. ;) And saying a Honda 4cyl sounds like a Toyota 4cyl is like saying an LS V8 sounds the same as a Coyote V8. It just doesn't. Either way, great looking Celica. Great and highly underrated and any other gen Celica would struggle against it on a track.

How can this channel have barely 1k subs??? Great content and editing, keep it up!

What exhaust set up?

im SO glad the clutch was mentioned - i've gone from an ND mx5 to a VVTL-i and their clutches are night and day different. it was so weird getting used to it. but man no regrets, celicas are so damn fun to drive, arguably far more than the ND

so true!

Not so reliable hey? I'm sitting at 515xxx kms, stock engine.

No surprise its an e46

I know from experience that it does take longer when you use your feet.

Nothing worse than the “how’s it going out there?” Trust me, you will hear me shout to the heavens when it is over.

😂😂😂😂 so real!!

😭😭😭😂

😂😂😂

The end 😂😂😂

I feel this pain forreal forreal

I bought a very beat up 2001 with over 300k on it. I finally got the engine back in after 2 years, runs perfect with the exception of a bad torque converter sealing surface. The transmission had plenty of metal in it unfortunately, and 3 or 4 small chunks of metal :( Hopefully I can learn to weld a shock tower, along with the rest of the front body work, paint it, and restore her before we run out of salvage cars in the wild. I'm not seeing many these days in the junkyards, and the ones I'm seeing are getting the entire front ripped out.

so, you made durning installation a mistake...

TLDR from another Josh: If you plan on buying a celica and boosting it you'd be better off buying the 1zz-fe version, the 2zz-ge is good N/A but as soon as you start bringing boost to the table it floods you with problems, not to mention the shitty oil pan that likes to shit the bed under cornering

Happens the same to me, I trow away 600€ of diff

It's a Celica.. NOT A CELEEKA

I tried and it's super bad...nothing better than the original shifter. I'm not even sure that the short shifter has the correct movement to engage properly. I tried 2 minutes and I removed it directly

ここはオーストラリアですか？

Most I’ve seen is a mile off in reverse then it stops But I’ve heard of a guy named Spinback who dealers would call and request him to test drive a car for to a specific mileage and he would return it reading as requested 🤷‍♂️

"Im gonna need a toarr"

I still don't understand how this works. You just spaced it out and then removed the spacing with the alignment, didn't you?

Your circlip that holds the cental pin in wasn't centered, which you can see at @2:58, im guessing you drove the pin home and snapped it which isn't hard to do., I'm also guessing you had no idea what the replacement clip was in your kit and discarded it. I had no issues with mine and it's was in the included instructions if you bothered to read it. This would have happened if you took a entirely stock diff apart and put it back together. I broke the standard one when reinstalling mine with light hammer hits. the trick to NOT breaking this circle clip is to position it perfectly slightly off centre with the open end fully covered. It was installation error sorry.

When you try to install one of these kits, you will if your looking! find a few problems, the instructions are not enough! and even if you watch the video's they are also not enough, and in my case not specific to the the kit I had, they also are just plain wrong, they tell you to take 4mm off the output shafts, you do that and they still stick out past the gears, if you shorten them too much, there is no surface for the clutch pack to act on, other than about 1mm around the inner of the gear, so you need to machine them down ''exactly'' fitting and refitting over and over, also you have to compress the pre-load shims so you can obtain the correct clearance, it's a long slow process to do properly, I kept thinking that the kit was the wrong one, I contacted Racing-Diff's asking to confirm the size of the friction plates they didn't provide that information in there reply, as an engineer I think this kit ''might'' work but only if installed properly and as far as I can see that info is not available, I seem to be the only person to have bothered to analytically asses the workings, I think the kit for most people, will not be worth the time it will take to fit it correctly, if they can even do that, especially if like me, you have to work it out yourself, and if you don't have a lathe your wasting your time, there is another way to finish them at home if you have a drill press, but it's still best to start with machining them in a lathe, I am considering making a video to explain how to do it ''properly'' but really there is no point for me, as then I'm just making a free video for Racing Diffs, for a product that I'm not that happy about, I think they over simplify the fitting instructions so people are willing to try the install, as if most people knew how complicated and long the process really was, they would not buy the kit, and if you paid an engineer to install, it would cost more than the kit it's self. seems to be selling things on the internet means you have to bullshit a bit, as people want stuff to be super easy to do, when the nature of the job means it's just not super easy, also most people lack the proper equipment and skills to do the job properly , if you follow the instructions in the kit or in the video's the kit will last a fraction of the time compared to installing it properly, Sad but True.

Was looking around if I could find a way to fix the sloppiness of my short shifter in the e46. Tough luck I guess. Thank you for explaining the process.
