I dont have pics of it in the car..but here is the shifter I installed around the end of the year. I went MOMO...shifter and wheel with an NRG quick release hub. Best security if you ask me...





oh yeah my car is white with the grey int..so it matches perfectly.

 

this is mine,as well no pics of it in the car i'll get some soon...i'll throw the front part of the interior back together just for the ocasion.



sorry about the shitty cell pic.

 

i got the same razo but in black.

 

Can someone show me a photo of the razo installed in their car?

 

The only way to go:

 

Ray, the second shot - - the color and texture looks remarkably like the dried apricots I'm eating right now... (lol)

I still haven't found a stock 1st-gen **** in decent enough shape, for my car. Still looking, too. I upgraded to a later-gen **** that's much nicer than the (shudder) Honda **** I had for decades. Funny thing; the newer **** is so heavy in comparison that I missed 3rd the first half-dozen shifts, & ended up going 2nd to 5th due to **** inertia. Dur.

 

Heres some pics of my original 80 SA GS interior with the original **** (plastic not leather).

 

my car has a 04 mustang gt shift ****, 3000gt shift/ebrake boot and a 528i bmw ebrake handle.

 

Where and how much? That is awesome.

 

Using a honda ****. Looks JUST like the stock S2 ****, but the reverse has a circle around it and the threading is higher up in the ****, making it look like a short shifter.

 

Can you post up a good pic of a plastic ****? I don't believe I've ever had a good look to see the difference to a wraped one. This is noggin tapping "hard" plastic?

 

They are a soft rubber/vinyl that mimics the leathers ones down to the molded in
stitches. I'll see if I can get a better detail shot up later. From a couple of feet away
its very hard to tell the differences really. In the second shot you can just see the
molded stitches facing you.

 

Oh, I think I understand. No, I don't believe I've ever grabbed one of those.

 

**** from my mom's old 1980's Corolla.



I decided to go with the RA 121



Based on this guys review.

I've gone through quite a few shift ***** myself since getting my NC2 in October, but I will say my two favorites are the Voodoo Pearl Magnum and the Razo RA121 which I'm currently using. Not sure if you're looking to get a different **** just for looks, but I was searching specifically to improve shifter feel. If you get an all metal ****, expect to feel the synchronizers MUCH more...it will feel notchy and metallic. The Mazda ***** are all quite heavy and all have a resin core to them and as such, will dampen the notchiness of the NC gearbox...which I think was a deliberate move by Mazda exactly for this reason. I find the Mazda ***** simply way too tall however.

For me, I liked the Voodoo, but the Razo RA121 is like a Voodoo on steroids and only costs about $10 more. It's got the same overall shape and feel in the hand but is almost twice as heavy at 300 grams and sits even lower than the Voodoo. Forget about needing any short shifter kit with this ****, this **** alone makes shifts short, precise, and very quick, especially noticeable when going for 5th gear. Its claim to fame is that the top of the shifter shaft sits about 2mm below the absolute top of the ****, and it's true. Once I got use the the Razo, the Voodoo actually felt too tall for me, unbelievable as that may sound. I love how the **** just perfectly lines right up with my hand when I rest my arm on the center console...I don't have to **** or lift my wrist upward which I had to with the Voodoo. It makes flicking from gear to gear so much fun when your **** is RIGHT THERE in the palm of your hand at all times. You can check this thread for some really good pics of it which is what convinced me to buy one.

And this photo.



But sadly won't be able to drive with it until the summer.

 

These will all fit the shaft, but none of them feel exactly right. Damn I am picky.

 

Rx8 shift ****, it says 6 speed but I got it for free so it doesnt bother me. Fit is perfect, and man does it feel awesome. The weight is perfect and 1000x better then the stock one I had.

 

I kind of like John's Corolla ****, it has a lot of character for a non-stock item!

 

Ah, much better pictures now. Here is the honda ****:



Honda on left, stock on right:



In the first picture you can see a crease in the shifter boot of where it originally was stock, and now the new "crease" is about 1/2 inch lower.

 

 

Thanks Ray, I like it too and would be happy to keep it. But it has never fit exactly right and now it has become just too floppy. It really does fit the character and era of the car.

It also has a bit of nostalgia value as it came from the car in which I learned to drive a stick.

 

here's my pink razo installed.forgot about this thread

 

 

Thanks! I am still going with the RA 121 though. I like a low ****.

 

Have a rx-8 **** in my fathers 2001 miata, its perfect. Also have one in my fc with a short throw shift, its again perfect....

 

can i get the one on the left?
