Hmmm. @ACUITY posts today, but doesn't mention the new POCO shift knob+boot retainer in the "official launch" thead?
$89 gets you a metal ball-type shifter in either black or red - I think red would look good in a Type R. I think that the cool thing about POCO is that it lowers the shift...
The stiffer spring of the full shifter gives me dead certain 1->2, 2->3 and 3->4 up-shifts, at the expense of having to be deliberate with 4->5 upshift (to avoid making a 4->3 downshift by mistake). Similarly, dead certain 5->4, 4->3, and 3->2 downshifts at the expense of having to be deliberate...
ACUITY released a promo video, "Why we make car parts," that also teases very early development of their FK8 Intake.
Skip ahead to 7:50 - 9:15 for just the intake bit.
PSA: shifters now back in stock, although the full stage 3 kits are not as the ESCO knobs have not been restocked yet AFAIK.
Kevin Boehm's review (sponsored):
Yes, but one can get past the existing (good) threads without cutting them with the greater tolerance of a re-threading die. It isn't like the die is made with softer metal so a re-threading die will cut just fine; and minimal strength is needed so the threads do not have to be full depth.
Oooo, I gotta get one. Oh wait :D.
Canadians: Best price on the shifter is no doubt teknotik.com https://shop.teknotik.com/acuity-10th-gen-civic-fully-adjustable-performance-short-shifter.html I just checked with teknotik and they do have the shifter in stock. No affiliation with Teknotik.com...
No MSRP has been posted. For comparison, the ninth-gen shifter is a little over $400 but does not include base bushings, but the tenth-gen will include shifter-specific base bushings (AFAIK) ... so my totally-uninformed guess is that the new shifter will cost more than ninth-gen.
However...
@CincyTypeR - I can't fully answer your question, as @ACUITY may fine-tune the adjustment ranges between the prototypes and production, so the settings we have now may well change.
For example, in throw (1-2, 3-4, 5-6) I think that the prototype can be adjusted longer than the Type R, and...
It is for people who have installed short shift adapters that extend the shifter arm. Those adapters alter the geometry within the factory shifter assembly that can result in a click noise/feel when shifting into the even gears. @powow66 has a video describing a simple fix using zip ties:
I posted a pic of the first prototype a while back: https://www.civicx.com/threads/rv6-performance-fk8-civic-type-r-downpipe-options.23611/page-9#post-435886
However, that early prototype was not streetable and had no accommodation for an airflow sensor - it required MoTec or similar.
