Greddy counter weight shift **** gets the job done. But will burn the **** out of your hand when it sits in the sun.

I like my weighted Nismo ****. Only time I'll trade it out is when I get a hydro e-brake, and then I'll need a bigger shift **** to compensate. I'll prob do something really obnoxious at that point.


Doesn't get scolding hot in the sun either. Nismo ftw, haha

The only problem I had with an Rx8 **** was that I usually drive a 6sp car. Then I hop in the Rx7 and drive it, then go from 5th to 6th grrrrrrclunkgrrrrrr dammit. No 6th gear

Thanks. I was going for subtle, but noticeable. The rx8 **** is just a temp solution until I can get a custom **** from from landon 303.

Sorry I kinda abandoned this thread. I finally got my Razo installed, and I absolutely love it. It's heavy, fits my hand well and looks killer. I did have to get a tennis wristband to put around it when it's sitting in the sun, cause the dark metal does get super hot. But other than that, it's perfect. I'll try and get some pictures of it up as soon as possible.

I always wondered how the weird shaped ***** felt. Like grenades and stuff. I've never had one, but I feel like they'd be kinda cool.

Surprised nobody has posted the Miata shift *****. They are a perfect weight and nice and subtle. I'll take a pic of mine when I get a chance.

I drooled over your stuff for a long time. But then I got this gift card to amazon for $75 and it was like open season for shift **** hunting. I may still place an order, just to have as a back up and a show piece, cause they're pretty amazing.

I like my Skunk2 weighted ****, same one in the DC2 ITR's.
I ordered a Skunk2 first, and thought the thread would be correct. It was super heavy and really plain, I loved it. But the threads were not correct, as it turns out. So I sent it back and got the Razo, which still kicks *** in my opinion.[IMG]



Not too great from being in the light. But you get the idea. I think I'm going to take off the bottom ring and bring the boot up flush with the silver ring instead. The bottom is just a plastic piece and it rattles. Oh well.

^^What did you use to secure that c/f switch panel? I made one for mine years ago and never came up with a satisfactory way to keep it in place but also be able to remove it quickly.

Veilside **** in mine, close to the Greddy **** which is my personal favorite. No longer have the nasty stock seats.

Okay so here is mine. I made the finishing touches on it today and have it back in. Have to say, I LOVE this shifter. For starters, I'm the only one who has one, as it was designed by me and made by a friend. Then there's the weight, it has to be close to two pounds. It sounds massive, but the way it sits and feels in your hand is great. And that's the third point, It's at a perfect level and just feels right.

If the demand is good enough, I could probably have some more made for a price. Idk though, I like that I'm the only one who has it

I also love the way it contrasts the interior. Subtle yet stands out.

REAmemiya fan- I was literally just looking at your build thread right before I came back to this and was thinking how cool that **** was. It looks really good, especially with the black. Great build,too. It's coming along really well.

Thanks guys, like I said, I MIGHT be able to have a few more made if demand is good enough. In fact, I will probably just do a short run of 5 and make them an almost legit special edition ****
