Default Review - Circuit Hero Shift Extender

Pics From Circuit Hero:



So I ordered the shift extender for my EG. Since I have the Si, I need to recline the seat back for some head room and it’s making the reach for the shifter troublesome. Sure, the extender might make it a little further out of reach, but it should be closer to the wheel.


Well, the shift extender arrived yesterday and I drove to work with it on today. Wow, what a great piece and totally worthwhile. I can reach it quickly and with ease. The design is simple and very clean. It's close to the wheel and really allows for quick wheel to shift movements.

I'd post up pics, but it's with a stock shifter and may not represent the positions that most will have. (If anyone still wants to see them, I'll gladly get some.)





Steve

The above pic is not of my car. I have a stock shifter, but will be replacing it with a Hybrid shifter for my K swap.

Pics of it installed on my car:

these things are nice. I had 1 for a while with the circuit hero shift **** and it felt amazing when shifting. Just make sure you don't have a cheap *** dc sports short throw cuz this thing provides enough leverage to snap one. Of course if you shift like a tool like I caught myself doing. haha

It's a little longer, but honestly, not that bad. The gains outweigh it IMO.

Def want to get one. Looks cool. At $35+ its a little expensive but theres alternatives like the Fastline shifter and summit racing one for $15 shipped. Id still get the Circuit Hero though. Good stuff.

There is also a 10x1.5 black model (for a Jeep) that will fit a Honda from here:

http://www.quadratec.com/products/96117_500.htm

It's half the price and black to match the shifter

I feel differently about the shifter extender. I have a double bend GSR shifter in my EG and the extender put my shift **** in the perfect place to hit my CD player every time I needed to shift into 1st, 3rd and 5th.

The shifter throw was also way too long. I felt like I was driving a manual transmission diesel truck.
