Looking for Short & Heavy...
Not a singles ad, I'm looking for a nice new shifter for the spring 
Short & Heavy are my criteria....any suggestions? I currently have a Sparco, and it's a bit too tall and light-weight for me:

I have this cheap-*** plain chrome *** I bought for 20 bucks at Autozone. Works like a charm, perfect fit. Looks damn good too. When people ask, I tell them its a custom piece

I don't know if the thread pitch is the same, but Kartboy makes cool shift ***** for Imprezas, Evo's, and Protege's.

The stock **** IS pretty heavy, but i don't have it anymore. Also, I don't recall liking the shape of it. I'v got the B&M short shifter in there, so a little more weight than this 3oz shifter would be nice
Is this the Razo you were talking about?

Yeah, pretty expensive too.... I think i might try the Razo if nobody has any other suggestions.
edit:
how heavy should i go? I see them from 105g all the way up to 400g!!!! That's pretty heavy Any personal experiences with differently weighted *****?

seriously, get the Kartboy, they are a great shape, very fat, I don't know how heavy though.
A little research showed that almost every shift **** is the same thread pitch. You could contact them if you're unsure about this, the phone number / email is on the website www.kartboy.com

You are in need of the GReddy shift ****. It is threaded waaaay up there so it sits very low on the shifter. It is also machined from billet so it is a bit on the heavy side. Most of the other aftermarket units, esp. the Momo stuff sits way up there as the valley for the shifter is not very deep. I know that NOPI carries the GReddy shift ****. Normally I would not recommend anything from GReddy (hate em) but the shift **** is fairly innocuous and you wont have to call GReddy for any technical info on how to install it

Sorry I'm so late getting a reply back to you. I'm using the 400g version with the RX-7 Store Short Shifter. It works pretty nice.
The **** did sit a little too far down on the shaft and caused some vibration. I added a little tape around the shaft where it was touching and it stopped the noise.
I'm sure you'll love the ****.

I'm not a huge fan of CF, but I do love the ****. It has "just enough but not too much" of the CF look.

I bet the stock FC **** is heavy enough to kill a guy if you threw it at his head... (I know it would at least REALLY hurt)
hmm...
I must say, there aren't many things more practical than a plain white sphere when it comes to shift *****. Easy to see, easy to grab.
I do like Razo-style ones, though... the plain "shaft" kinds and the sphere types. Not the fancy-looking ones. Although there are probably better things to spend my money on. I think the Mazdaspeed ones are cooler, but too damn expensive ($120? wtf?).
Also, remember that dark or metal shift ***** get HOTTTTT when the sun is out. But I'm sure you guys already considered that :p
