Finally something new on the K11. Jup, its the GTiR short shift shifter. As you all know its a straight bolt on fit. Today two friends helped me with installing it and OMG what a hardcore difference it makes grr
Here's the thing:
Driving the car now became even more fun :laugh: I will take a video tomorrow so that you can see how the thing shifts now (Y)
Cheers,
Alex

Went to work today in the morning and gotta say i love how the car shifts. Wasn't driving it hard, just cruising to work as i live near my work and the engine was cold :grinning: Yesterday we replaced the stock gear shifter centering spring with a bigger harder one and its just working perfectly with the new shifter (Y)

So today them f***** coppers literally f***** me :down: They were driving behind me and made me pull over. The cop came to me, asking for driving licence and registration so i gave him the papers. Then he started asking for the homologation papers for the car. Every change on the car must be registered on that homologation paper - Slovenia and its stupid laws. I have almost everything (tyres, rims, exhaust back box, springs, window tinting etc....) except the Suzuki Swift GTi seats, Sparco steering wheel and the cold air intake feed. The seats can't be homologated because they dont have a TUV certificate. Same thing for the CAI and the Sparco steering wheel. I have been driving around like this for quite sometime and it never caused problems. Except when taking the car to MOT i take the Sparco and the CAI out because i know it wont pass MOT. For the last two years i didnt even take the seats out because then dont look that....strange in the car.
So today after i gave him the homologation he told me to open the bonnet :glare: I could have told him do you have a permit and so on but i knew he would make me drive behind him to the nearest MOT service and in anyway i will get f***** :glare: so i kindly opened the bonnet. He saw the CAI and told me thats not listed in the homologation papers....oh, and the Sparco steering wheel also aint listed and the seats He asked me to drive behind after him to the nearest MOT. There they tested the car. Everything was in excellent shape except those three things (CAI, Sparco steering wheel and SSGTi seats). They took my REG plates and gave me a fine of 400 euros :down:. Guess my career is over :down: I hate that stupid law in Slovenia. Im so angry today that.....oh well, what can i do :glare:

Tuning career hehe Well i dont know if i'll keep doing anything new on the car. Atleast today i have a bad feeling about the car - i still love it but i feel bad because i will have to remove seats, steering wheel and the CAI.
I Was even looking at some bone stock Civic VTi's on the internet but till now i have no extra cash. We'll see. Tomorrow i'll put the original seats in, original steering wheel and original airbox and go again through MOT which will pass with no problems. Then i will go and get back my REG plates from the police station. This is my priority tomorrow - put the car back on the road (legally) and pay the fine. What will happen then....we'll see :suspect:
