I replaced the six Torx drive M10 x 1.5mm x 22.5mm bolts holding down the plastic panels beneath the rear seats. The first time I had to remove these bolts, I had to press a Torx bit out of its 3/8" drive holder, then use a small ratchet to drive the tool from underneath the seat bars.

The new bolts are internal hex drive M10 x 1.5mm x 25mm with washers. Now I can install or remove the bolts with an Allen ball driver - much easier. I have to wonder why Ineos used such large fasteners (with thread locker!) here - a small screw with a fender washer would have worked quite well.

Here's how a ball driver fits in one of the new bolts:

Neat idea @Glen. Thanks for posting

These work quite well too from Agile, got a set when I was installing my under-seat compressor kit from them...

That's cool - I had no idea those were available. AO has a lot of nice stuff - I have a fair bit of their kit on my Grenny.

Once I got mine out, I just left them out. Probably going on 20k miles since and no deleterious effects and notice no rattling.

I haven't done the side by side comparison but I wonder if these large fasteners are for the hard lid that is used for the two seater commercial version? Agree they are overkill for the plastic trim.

I speculated something similar - they had to have originated from a different application. Each bolt can supply about 23 kN/5,300 lbs of clamping force - that's a lot to hold down a plastic trim panel

Since it's now illegal to drink drive in Australia, I converted my drink holder to a bin with USB ports.

Well put. I have had the Supra shifter setting on my work bench for a year while waiting for the courage to install it.

I wouldn’t bother with a shifter swap unless it got rid of the 3/2 clunk or improved ground clearance

Mine is coming by FedEx today. I’ll let you know how it goes

I installed the Supra shifter today. I used Toyota part number 33550-WAA01 and basically followed the instructions that Owl Vans published on YouTube here. I was able to remove my OEM shifter without damaging it and have a few tips on that.

Here are the tools I used - a T-10 bit driver, an X-Acto chisel blade, two plastic spudgers (used in electronics work), some tweezers and an O-ring pick.

Here's how I removed the OEM shifter panel that Owl said was glued on:

The sharp blade slips in quite easily compared to my plastic panel tools. Don't twist it! Then I slipped in a spudger to finish removing the panel. This outer plastic panel is actually held on with a thin double-sticky film tape. 3M sells the same stuff to hold body trim on and it's often avaialble at auto parts stores that carry body supplies. The tape does not cover the white letters (on the back side).

The chisel let me slide the spudger in easily. I slid the spudger up and down the right side, then pushed it in above the "R". The reason for this is that the white letters are backlit and there is no adhesive film there, so there's a small chance you could scratch the white plastic and it would telegraph the scratch when illuminated . . . so go above or below the letters and work the plastic panel off with the spudger.

The next step is to remove the lock button and I did this differently than Owl did:

Push the spudger in the hole as shown and it will release the lock button. Remove that, then pry off the black plastic piece (with the "P" still attached) by starting at the top with the X-Acto chisel followed by the spudger again.

The rest of Owl's instructions worked just fine. I did find one thing that really, really needed to be addressed. When I took the Supra shifter apart (per Owl's instructions), I thought to inspect the ribbon connector with a 10X loupe. Just out of college, I worked in electronics assembly and know these kinds of connectors ocassionally have problems. Sure enough, mine did:

I magnified the area of interest . . . see the bent pin? That lays dangerously close to the adjacent land on the ribbon cable, so I'm not sure this new shifter would have worked as received from Toyota. I bent the pin back in place and . . .

. . . everything works as expected. Yay! And I do like the look.

With the amount of money I put into this thing some items just don't make the needs list.
