Been reading these forums for a while but i just started posting... me and the old lady picked up a 94 cx full si swap out... no u junkies not a 99 just a 94 si.. its nice and clean.. i wanna do some **** to it tho like short shifter... i need some info on a good one... any good info or websites with info would be great =D thanks

 

I have one for sale that I got off ebay a year ago for $10. It's used a little, I'll give it to you for $5.

 

Ebay's or any aluminum short shifters work, but they SUCK. It will break on you in a few hard shifts. I suggest invest in a dual bend Skunk 2 metal short shifter. Will last alot longer and you only have to install it once.

 

I have a Tenzo shifter. It does what it needs to do.

I never understood how/why people were shifting so damn hard as to break a shifter. Really you don't have to slam the gear selector in order to shift fast, its just causing a lot of wear and tear for no reason.

this is true, i can shift gears pretty quick with only 2 fingers on the **** (dont suggest it tho because its not very sturdy grip)

but it would definately suck to break ur shifter in like heavy traffic.

i heard good things about skunk 2 ss as well

 

i would skip this modd for now and invest in some go fastER goodies

 

by the way nice find

 

So what mods should i look into?.... i know turbo is a good way to go with these D series motors.. but eventually i was thinking of droping in a B16A2 Mugen motor(i got the local hookup of a lifetime on one =D)

Thoughts?

Thanks
Me

I couldn't agree more. Do you have that much agression built up to break a shifter? I always take my agression out between girls' legs, but that's just me. People should try shifting normally?

To be honest, the shifter in my Civic is very stiff and that bugs me. My Accord is very smooth and soft, I love the way that car shifts.

 

The B&M $49 one for our cars is better than any other short shifter I've ever used on any car. Period. The Skunk2 is an overpriced piece of **** compared to the B&M, but you do what you want.

 

Can someone please explain to me how one shifter is better than another?

 

preferance whatever people are rocking theyll rep hard!! but look at the materail its made from, the throw reduction, how you want the shifter to be postioned as in dual bend or single bend, and the height of the shifter, i hate hoping in a car the shifter is in the boot and you have to reach to the floor to shift, i looked for one with a stock height dual bend, nice and close no reaching and steel. i love my 10 dollar to my door ebay dual bend, great fit and cheeap

 

im really just looking for a daily driver with some spunk so if i wanna push it from light to light against some stupid new chev or somethin i can PWN it.. but not sometihng thats gonna cost me like 100 bux aday maintainance

thanks again!

i can definatly vouch for my ebay short shifter, its goin on 13 months of hard shifting

 

Hmmm.. I'm thinking of going back to OEM.

 

So What inexpensive bolt ons can i use to make my car that much bettar?... who makes best CAI or short ram intake i think its called.... and what would be the best all around tires and wheel size... no im not looking for anything flashy but something that can handle wear and tear but i want something like 40 series or iono?? can i get some help ... and pic's would be great.. ill be working on getting pics of mine up soon

Bumpage!

 

well there are several things you can do from the start to add a little more, like a j's racing or memoryfab intake to help breathe and possibly a cat back exhaust to help with flow, there are other intakes tho

the j's racing is really good tho

 

yea the sound the j's racing intake create is amazing, from a regular short ram to that 2 different intake noises, apples and oranges

btw i have a blue aem short ram for sale for 50

I've been using an Evasivemotorsports unit that I got like a year ago on here non stop. 35 dollars shipped to my door and it's heavy as hell and feels great.
