i think that's pretty shady when a sequential shifter for an acura integra costs over $10,000. I would imagine this one isn't that great if they're offering it at less than $1500. Just my honest opinion.

Damn, I was just saying that I think it's shady, meaning that it will not offer the same performance as a "run of the mill" sequential shifter.
Why does everyone have to be so condescending on this board?

Who else knew what "shady" meant? I didn't!

Re: sEQUENTIAL SHIFTER!!!
i have talked to several people in Japan (Americans)about this shifter before. Yes it does look intimidating and sick, and most of all eye catching.
But this is what they have to say about that shifter:
--The shifter mechanism which Ikeya Formula uses is extremely fragile, which means it very prone to breaking/mal function due to "agressive" shifting.
--Like someone on the above said, your synchros will hate you! And he's right on the money on that one. It will destroy your synchros and sometimes the whole tranny (sometimes to an unrebuildable state). Thats how bad this thing can get. Now i dont know about the "unrebuildable" part. But it sure does sound scary.
--And they said that the shifter shifts like ****. You can seriously shift much much faster with your stock shifter. So that pretty much shows how worhtless that thing is.
But then again, for the price you're paying for it. you cant really complain especially you get to shift like you "have a sequential tranny". I love that motion of shifting myself.
You make the call. You have the money to waste, then get it and tell us how it really works.

sorry guys, maybe shady wasn't the correct word to use, espeically since most people use it to describe a scammer.
my mistake.
how about this: it sounds a bit "too good to be true". and based on what tofu said, I would stay far, far away from it. later.

Of course it's ugly. Where else are you going to hide the mechanism? There's no room in the transmission tunnel. It's as ugly as a race car with a stripped interior, in which case it'd blend right in. It wasn't intended for street driving. Get yourself a chrome **** and red-stitched shifter boot if you want to pimp.
If you were a competitive driver, you might appreciate it more. For $1,500, it's about $4,500 less than one of the cheapest sequential transmissions that eliminate the clutch for all but taking off in first gear, and it allows quick and precise shifting of a standard transmission. If you don't like it, don't buy it.

A friend of mine drove the 5Zigen RSX while it was here in the US and he said it was not a good idea for the street.
