Default First time at the track w/ Skunk2 ****

Put in my new Skunk2 weighted ****. This thing is way heavier than I expected.

My tranny is getting tired, and grinds slightly going into 3rd-4th. The extra weight of the **** helped it go in during hard shifts. Shifting is slightly slower, due to added weight, but more positive, completed shifts. I am pretty happy w/ it.

That's all, just thought I'd share

Wasn't sure what forum to put this in, figured Drag would be best.

I picked up 9.023 mph, I had more energy when I woke up in the mornings, and my girlfriend seemed to notice an increase in testosterone

You must have got the extra-weighted. You need to remove the x from the end of the part number when ordering.

this guy needs to be taken out back with all the "its cool to drift" people and shot. this sounds almost as ridiculous as racing a rsx with no brakes. is this guy the skunk2 crewchief. way to hire the best of the best dave. and the skunk2 shift *** is just a cheap knock-off of an itr.

i guess im not in the same category my carbonfiber shiftknob blew my tranny, twice.

Reply's like the above suck ***. What a bunch of negative jerks. Seriously. The guy wanted to share info he thought was helpful. That is the point of a message forums, not to be mean.

I thought the Skunk2 **** was a little too heavy, i was on a stock civic **** last time my car ran it was great w/ a GSR shifter.
