What about the blue dash light convertion!

Yeah maybe. to bad blue is kinda used everywhere. It's mainstream

True they are everywhere, ive thought of doing this but would rather keep everything standard where i can.

Looks like i have to buy a compressor as well :)

If i buy a compress from uk and fit it in a car with left hand drive, would it fit whitout any big modifications? I have heard about the power steering problem. Do i only have to get some new pipes or what?

when you shift from 1st to 2nd the distance in between those two positions is called the throw.

a "short throw" shifter shortens the "throw" or distance between 1st and 2nd,

and subsequently between all the gears.

this is done by altering the shifter.

this can done by bending the shifter at an angle, changing the shifter center,

or, as you have assumed, making a physically shorter shifter.

it depends on how you go about doing it.

personally i believe the best option is the TRD short shifter kit.

the toyota/lexus/trd part number is 33530-SE100.

i am sure you can see the pros of having a shortened "throw" now that you know what it is.
