Hahah... I can see it now, the next ricer mod....
SCHOOL BUS SHIFTERS!!!! :D |
i used to also wonder why WRC rally cars had those really tall akward looking shifters in thier cars also; untill i watched in car footage of a race. with the shifter only 2 inches from the wheel a rally driver can reach down to shift and back to fighting the steering wheel in less time than i would have thought humanly possible.
those tall shifters also have ridiculiously short throws for up-down (sequential) movement..... just a thought... rally FD? :) |

this gives me an idea! I'll put the shifter from my Dakota in my 7 and the shifter from my 7 in my Dakota......... Damn, would that ever be a blast:fruit:
|
look how much closer the shift knob is to the steering wheel. the time needed to move your hand from the wheel to the shifter is decreased, hence you have more hand-time on the wheel.
only if it didnt look so goddam ugly... |
JoeD and SPEED NYC know what's up, in Rally racing it's best to have both hands on the wheel but you also want to be able to shift fast... The only way to have those two things is to have the shifter setup like that. Goofy looking but I see the point.

They should have left the 'boot' off. Looks kinda neat w/o:

Those things are pretty expensive, and would be kinda cool to have hehe, I've seen some pics where the shifter is shorter, so they arent all like that.

is that the ikea formula shifter? it's not a true sequential, you still need to use your clutch, it just change the 'gate shifting' motion into pull/push motion.

With straight cut gears and dog rings, it would make the transmission sequential in operation, only requiring the clutch for starting out in 1st. However, at the price of the gear set, you might as well buy a Quaife sequential gear box ready-made. :) |

You can get a custom one put in over here that does the same thing only the shifter its self is alot lower. Actually that one from Ikeya is 140,000 yen which is about $1,100...
|
The new Civic SI i think has the shifter ON the console. looks really out of place, Its their "rally inspired blah blah......"
Huy |
bullshit....that is SOOOOOOO photochopped :D
|
well if your talking about the shifter by Ikeya, I guess your retarded, because it does exisit
|
What I can't figure out is why "he had the pic and had his girlfriend read it to him"...........
My silly assumption is that most FD owners can read but..........:wtf: :biggrin: :1party: |
maybe he dont know how to read japanese! :)
|
Oops, my bad.....
Didn't think of that......now I have the whole oriental girl fantasy goin.....
|

The car only cost me $6300 and came with a few of the mods in place(like the mazdaspeed Power plant frame), but I'll take $15,000.:D That way, I could get back the money I spent on the car, plus a little bit of money that I put into it, and some beer money:D ...Just kidding dude...;) |
Where did that guy get a shiftboot that is that big? Did he jack it off a truck or somethin?
|
Man, that FD is hung like a freakin horse!
|
Why is there white around the shift knob? Looks photoshopped to me.
|
Its real and the shift boot comes seperatly....
Jason JT-Imports Yokohama Japan If you have any option magazines you will find the shifter in there. |
Originally posted by RX7FD Where did that guy get a shiftboot that is that big? Did he jack it off a truck or somethin? Either way, I might purchase one just to use at the Drag races. Would probably have helped me save my 1st Transmission from getting destroyed(with no Reverse gear, I was king of creative parking), but I don't know about a "daily driver" push/pull shifter. |
