My OEM "Carbon Fiber" shift **** is remarkably thermostable.

 

98 itr **** didn't get very hot for me. i heard the gsr **** is good for summer use too.

 

any pics of those, arent those the HUGE ones?

 

naw stock sucks, remember that scene from indiana jones and the lost ark, you'll straight burn the shift pattern into your palm on a hot(110) day -rob

 

Stock gets way too hot.

Spoon black duracon shift **** all the way for summer.
Hamsta 0wnz j00!

 

how does the duracon one feel? like rubber or hard plastic? and does it plug into the boot like a stock gsr **** or will the boot hang down? I see in your pic that it fits like stock, did u have to custom the bracket or is the jdm boot different.

Look at my pic. It feels like hard plastic. Nothing mushy about this thing.

 

Fits like stock.

the black duracon spoon shift **** does not get that hot. my leather seats are hotter than the ****

 

i say we all kick dennis' *** for having that bear there j/k

 

The lil dude is called Potehamu and he is a "hamsta" !
It's JDM y0!

 

kawaii desu ne!(how cuuute!) Pote-hamu is his name(he's a hamster).. maybe you can cut a hole in his bottom and stick him on your shift **** then your hand would never get hot. but i dont think the person who gave pote-hamu to ya will appreciate it much.

metal shift ***** suck when summer rolls in. carbon fiber doesn't get too hot. i say just use ur sweater sleeve and slip it over the **** until it cools off a bit.

 

The spoon is a very good choice. I got mine from Leo(ITRinEJ1) and he still has a few in stock. http://www.jdmspecperf.com

 

Can anybody with a black Mugen **** tell me if it is too hot for the summer?

-kenji

 

DualOverHamsterCams ownz jooo!!

 

kenji - i used to have a silver mugen **** and that metal got HELLA hot!!! now using the black spoon **** and it feels FAR better got them in stock too

 

Since it's metal, I would guess that it gets hot.

 

any pics of the carbon fiber

 

Socal summer gets hot!

 

I live in Alabama where the temps are not uncommon to break the 100 degree mark. The stock Ti shifter does get hot, but only wimps would complain. It's also cool to burn the gear shift pattern into my hand. I wouldn't waste money on another shifter for heating/cooling reasons. Just my opinion.

 

yes we should.....

 

perfect solution for hot/cold shift *****: a $20 pair of mechanix gloves, they're the ****.

 

GS-R ****. Around $35 list at your dealer.
