hey everyone im new to the forums... i own a black 1995 integra gsr

what kinda ebay products are trustworthy to put into your car?
does anyone have any experiences with APC short shifters (i searched and only got one result and didnt help much)? thanx

thanx, nicky

 

personally, I don't think any kind of short shifter is a good mod. I know this is a personal opinion, I just don't think thats the first place to start making your car faster if thats your intention. So little to gain for the price.

 

Dont buy ANYTHING from APC. Friend bought an APC short shifter off ebay for his 99 Si like 2 years ago. About 3 months after he had it the damn thing broke an inch down from the shift **** when he shifted Made of very cheap quality materials just like a lotta other **** they make.

If i were to get a short shifter, go with a good brand (Skunk 2, B&M, Etc.)

Rule of thumb, Dont buy anything from APC, 3A Racing, or Matrix.

Personally, instead of getting a short shifter, to start it off i'd get a K&N Drop in filter and also remove the airbox resonator. After that, a decent header, highflow cat, and catback exhaust to start off.

 

honda-tech has many write-ups on short shifters. if you do your research you'll find which works best for the dollar spent and most importantly your cause.

get the short shifter evasive motorsports is selling it's pretty cheap but at the same time sturdy and durable.

 

I bought an ebay shifter but I never got around to putting it in...

 

i hate dealing with those washers that come with ebay shifters.

 

I bought a skunk2 dual bend clone from city-speed.com. I had it on my last car (94 gsr) and it shifted great. My only complaint was the fitment on the underside w/ the shift linkage. I had to put washers on either side of the handle to take up the gaps. This sounds like a common issue w/ short sifters on 3rd gen tegs, though.
