i want ot shorten my shifting as well as the length of the shifter. i havnt not been able to find any sorter shirt bars i have found the adapters to make the shirting shorter throw but not for the lenght. Where should i be looking or is their any way to make the stick it self short as well as shortening the throw.

You could get a short shifter adapter and cut the shifter itself down as well. if you want directions on how to cut it down check out http://www.ntpog.org/mods/fifth-****/****.shtml

It was a very simple mod, I cut mine about 2 inchs. Good luck.

where do you get the dies to chase to new threads from?

did you look at forbiddens? only 1/2" but if you remove the base plate, it's a little shorter, looks killer to me, i going to p/u mine at the airport today!!

I started installing mine from 4bidden, but it got dark outside, so I had to stop. The stock shifter bends to the left, his doesn't. I dont have it all back together yet, but it looks like the shifter will sit about one inch to the right. does anyone have their's installed yet?

i have thought about cutting the shirter before and adding on the adapter.

i read those instructions on the cutting

i will more than likely do it cause i am sick of having it so high in the 5th gen.
just feels weak when i am driving hard when its up their.

another question what is the best headers i can buy for an h22.
i have heard dc sports but i have also heard they crack.

dc sport CC headers crack, the SS headers get too hot. i would get MUGEN if i had the money. other really good brands are Greddy, Comptech, Spoon, SMSP....they are very expensive and i am not sure if they even make it for our cars. there is something caled jet hot, you might wanna research on that. some guy sent his OEM (stock) header to the factory and when he got it back, it was so nice looking. it suppose to protect it from heat and keep the heat down. i am pretty sure you can do it to the SS header, maybe even the CC header from dc sports

someone on here said he switched from dc to trust...he said it's a much more solid built header...check those out!

You buying more than one for your Lude Kevin? Or do you have that infamous V6 model Lude?!

Good luck on cutting the shifter down. If you screw up I can possibly give you mine since I may not need it anymore .

Maybe after I get a hatchcrap I'll come down and see you guys. Maybe we can mount a camera in the rental car and completely tear it apart on the road!! Have a good xmas if I don't hear from you this week. Later.

i wonder if people will ever stop making fun of people who call a header...headers...or vtec....vtech... ....anyways...i got a shifter too if you happen to screw up, thanks to forbidden!

The shifter is done and feels much better its right where i wanted it. the bar bends and i cut about an inch above that for my **** to grab to still i have after market **** so i didnt need to thread and it worked out perfect. love the feel.

onto the header"s" question i asked the topic of red hot came up which is somethign i have heard of before and looked into a bit. If any one has this done and knows how strong this is post and let me know i will research and see what i find as well. thanks for all the replys
