I've always wanted one of these, but the price tag always made me hesitate. Let us know how it is!

yeah the price tag was a lil heffty at 216$ shipped, but this last track day this guy swore up and down it was well worth the money, so i finally just said F it why not.

I got it from another member here for 380. Delivered to my door. But I might
Sell it cause I need a race seat.

[boozebag]

Nice mikey! Keep the buddy club! The best track exhaust minus the J's imo. Nice shifter mannnnn!

[reuqse]

^^^ thx Jesse I've been spending a lot of money already so I didn't wanna buy a race seat
But the buddy club seat are only 400$ so I think I can swing that .

[boozebag]

Paul has a buddy club seat for sale right now. Lemme see how much he wants. Might hook it up for a fellow racer

[boozebag]

I think to pass tech w/ aftermarket seat you have to have a rail that both sides lock on. Rhett almost did pass NASA tech at ff battle due to that problem. Somebody else might know more than me about that tho

oh i gotcha

[BlueTeg]

Never heard of that before, and it's not in the CCRs either.

They gave me flack about my harness clips not having safety wire at the cal speedway event. unless it's a part of their local, supplementary CCRs, that tech guy didn't know wtf he was talking about.

[reuqse]

so i got my race seat BRIDE zeta III sport. Got to install in this past weekend, now just waiting on my passenger side harness to come in.

[Agent Smith]

Mike, who did your cage work or did you buy it already like that?

[cjb]

Very nice...

[mooshin]

So whats the theory behind the shifter? First it was short shifters... now it's extended ones? Serious thought. Please explain.

Still a short shifter. The extension is for optimal driver position.

Kinda.
The lower portion of the lever works like a short shifter.
The extender lengthens the rod, which naturally makes the throw longer due to having a longer lever (aka more distance to travel at the top to effect a gear change).

The idea behind these is that by placing the knob closer to your hand it allows you more time with your hands on the steering wheel to make steering inputs than a traditional shifter. (probably a really cool mod for autocrossers or roadricers in certain sections of tracks where you don't have alot of time to get your gear change done and then continue working the steering wheel)
I would also assume that the pros of having a shorter throw (due to the lower portion) and not having to move your hand as far to start and finish the shift motion is an overall gain in relation to the slightly longer throw the top portion of the shifter adds.
