They're not purple :p. Seriously though, you'll never see them, and all the base bushing replacements that are solid Aluminium are going to do the same thing as long as they have the right dimensions. Acuity's are $3 less expensive at K-series. https://www.kseriesparts.com/cr/ACI-1914.html

:p

IIRC, the short shifter mod for the CivicX (but not Type R) was announced in another thread - but it isn't available yet.

Shifter tease up @ https://www.instagram.com/stories/acuityinstruments/ @ACUITY - do you need some cold weather testing done? :wave:

A quick update: I updated the second post above to include a second way of lowering the height of the shift knob. I've also installed the Acuity centering spring. If you're going to install the shifter base bushings then I'd recommend installing the centering spring at the same time. Details of...

I think you meant this video (for this thread) ;): Just a note on something not shown on the video: The spring comes with a little tube of silicone grease. Use it when doing the install. Put grease on the (new) spring, all over the rocker shaft, basically anyplace where pieces are going to rub...

:stirthepot:

I win for slowest! :confused: Wireless charging adds another harness, a couple screws, and more picking and prying.

Already available - $850 (for both sides) http://www.unitedspeedracing.com/index.php?id_product=113&controller=product

To be honest, I find the position in the video un-natural in most production cars. In many/most racing cars (as opposed to modified production cars) and a few (modern) production cars, the pedals pivot from the bottom. In these situations, I find the method with the heel lined up with the gas...

The kind folks at @ACUITY sent me a pre-production accelerater pedal relocation bracket to make 100% sure that it fits in the Type R. Mind you, the bracket isn't really needed on the Type R thanks to its rev-matching capability. However, if you want to heel-toe, then you might find the Type R...

... and the Type R.

So now the hard question - whether the kit makes a big enough difference for me to justify the price, and the non-trivial installation - but first, thanks for reading the wall of text so far! When written, the Acuity Stage 1 Shift kit was priced at $169. Individually: - the ESCO shift knob was...

The third part of the shift kit are the shifter base bushings. First, let's see what these are supposed to do. From the Civic Si install guide at https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B456gOYKbqR2d1J4em1raWM3VHM The shifter base bushings are much less expensive than the shift linkage bushings, yet...

The second part of the shift kit are the shift linkage bushings. These two bushings go on top of the transmission and replace the stock pieces. This is what they look like after installation: Aside: Check out the counterweight - you won't see that on other CivicX. Now, when one looks under...

First up, the shifter knob. Shifter knobs are a personal preference. There is no "right" or "wrong." To be philosophical for a moment, my objective with gear changing is that I want shifting to happen unconsciously – without thinking about it; for the shift to just ‘happen.’ For me, this only...

@Dr_Drache Shifter bushings fitted to Type R. You can order the CivicX ones now. @ACUITY

I have the shifter cable bushings to test. I tried to install last Friday but there is more stuff in the CTR engine compartment so I set the install aside - I'll work on it this coming weekend.
