I saw Comptech SS and got real excited. When i relized it was a Short Shifter and not a Super Charger I became very disappointed.

The new setup looks nice!

It's hard to tell from the pictures but are the numbers on the S2K shift **** black or red? And how much did the shift **** run you? I know how crazy in price the DC2-R Titanium shift **** was.

I am not trying to start anyting here, but i had an S2000 w/ the titanium ****. Before wife got pregnant, had my RSX-S w/ the aluminium ****. I defy you to show me a difference other than the material and price. Both ***** feel identical to the touch and weigh almost identical weights. If you bought it for the **** itself, you should have saved yourself some money and got the aluminum one. If you bought it so you could say you have a titanium S2000 **** that's a completely different reason.

Besides it's not my money and I don't care, just wanted to show a really cheap OEM option.

Titanium does not get as hot or cold as aluminum. I can leave my car outside all day and when i get in i dont have to worry about burning my hand on the ****. Titanium is 60% heavier than aluminium so if for the aluminum **** to be the same weight it would have to be quite a big bigger or am i wrong?

$58 bucks is one hell of a deal...i just sold that same **** for $90.

I've paid up to $160 for a ****... the CTR Ti **** on my 99 Si. If you want the pimp ****...u gotta spend the loot. Hell, i just spent almost $110 on a Euro-CTR shift boot! lol
