Maddog's STS 72-2 installed.

King Crab · Post by **King Crab** » Mon Feb 11, 2008 6:01 pm

Well, I've had this thing of beauty installed for a little over a month now, and finally have some pictures to share. I must add that the assembly was a piece of cake to install, even with the Booger bushings. The Maddog STS 72-2 is solid and smooth, and is a joy to use. With the console in you would never know what lurks below.

I should take the seats out of my car and clean it out like that.

I was the first SRT-4 to have the 80%, JM Cradle Bushings, w/ Boogers and I will second the "Awesome" vote.

What is your deal? If you don't like me or my posts then do not post after me. Just ignore them like I do to most of this forum.

FWIW, I thought the cookie was funny. He didn't mean any harm. He was just giving you a hard time.

Looks great man

Makes my dirty car (although the interior is cleaner than the outside) look even dirtier

I have been contemplating the shifter seriously ever since I saw livid's 80%

Your testimonial (and everone else's) make me really want one!

MyNeonSaysHi · Post by **MyNeonSaysHi** » Tue Feb 12, 2008 4:57 pm

Very clean interior, and a great STS. I went with the 58% I believe, Love it.

I love the look on people's faces when they jump in the drivers seat and cannot tell what gear its in.

I want to Thank all of you for the nice comments, and I want you all to know that it's very much appreciated. Speaking for myself, I value the opinions expressed here on 2GN. And that most 2GN'ers are proud of what they have accomplished and/or have done with their Neon's. Being 1 of 76, or 1 of 13, or even 200 of 200...... Facts are facts and I don't feel that there's anything wrong with voicing the facts. If I didn't get all this useful information and apply it may car would still be stock (as it was for the first 5 1/2 years of her life).

MoxHair This is more for you as you may understand where I'm coming from.

Now the rest of you can flame me all you want for the next pictures I'm about to show. But know that this is one small part that I did to make my baby an extension of who I am. GO - KINGS - GO.

Cool shifter! I would like the back seat if you replaced that team's first letter with W instead of a K!

Very original!

MoxHair · Post by **MoxHair** » Tue Feb 12, 2008 7:15 pm

I like the back seat cover.. where did you get it.

"Lucky" Luc Robitaille jersey right next to the "Great One"

The 2 players that helped make hockey in the Southern Parts of the Country.

I need to get some Small Sabres thing to put on my car. As I am OCD when it comes to clutter its hard to find something lol.

oh.. and Sabres v Senators in 15minutes.

King Crab · Post by **King Crab** » Tue Feb 12, 2008 8:08 pm

To be honest, it's not a seat cover. It's actually a thin blanket I received when my wife so lovingly bought me a 6 game mini pack for Christmas in 06'.
I have a few little thing inside and out that

REPRESENTS

I have/had a stange feeling that its more than a team you are a part of....

Mox, my bad, had to do it though. And to keep it on topic, I like the shifter.

I found something to add to my car to show my Sabres Love.

Great shifters.

I am kind of surprised that you went with Booger Bushings on the shifter, however.

I HAD them on mine, and I couldn't STAND them..... A day after I installed the shifter, I removed them and went back to the stock bushings !!

Don't get me wrong, the Booger Bushings are a good product. I used them on the cable ends at the transmission, and left those there (they'll never rot or go bad.)
But when I had the Boogers installed at both ends of the cables (at the trans and at the shifter), it was so damn stiff, normal driving became a pain in the rear.

Now I have the Booger Bushings on the cable ends by the trans, and stock bushing in the Maddog shifter, and I'm very happy with it.

Makes me wish that I have an MTX, but I kinda like those cover seats though.

Edit: It wasn't a seat cover, it was a blanket.

They actually loosen up after about a week.

To tell you the truth NickKo I actually have had the Boogers for almost a year now. The stock bushing that was on the transmission side (bigger bushing) had disintegrated completely. I had sooooo much play at the shifter end it wasn't good at all. The Dealer wouldn't sell just the bushings alone. They only sold the cable with the bushings for $180.00.

That's when, through our beautiful family 2GN, I found out about the Booger bushings for $20.00. That was a no brain-er. No offense Danteneon. Anyway to make a long story short, They were already there so I just went with it. And as with what MoxHair said, I too found that after a week of use they did loosen up.

evilneon02 · Post by **evilneon02** » Wed Feb 13, 2008 7:17 pm

hell i even put some grease on the bar before i put the bushing on so the shifting would feel smoother

Mine (the big end) was not gone, but getting there. I've got a Booger in there now.
