This is precisely what im after. "Click, click, click".
But i've already stated previously " C's s/shifter is not sufficiently different to the ITR stock shifter. The throw is just too long. :(
One version suppose to have an adjustable throw.
Have asked for an info "where to get", but no response as yet.
Suspect some people like to keep secrets. :evil:

There's a light at the end of the tunnel on springs though. :idea:
kgmm D2R spring = kg/mm DR21 racing spring??????????
Drop front/rear?????????????????
Stiffness compared to stock ITR?????????????????????????
Who sells D2R springs in Mel???????????????

Anyone with H&R Sport springs on ITR?????????????

Still waiting for the above questions t/b answered. ;) ;) ;)

c's has a few types of short shifter, according to my past understanding, they is one "type EF "and one "Type EK4"...and there is also the one that tangy is selling which can be position adjusted:)....so far i have yet to come across one from c's which you refer to as to be able to adjust the throw, i'm not ruling it out, just that i haven't come across that you mentioned:)...but there is a physcial diffference between thw type ef and ek.

i can't find the type ek pix...so here is the type ef pix

also by means that the ek is also a b-series engine, so the "type ek" from c's also fits the dc2 ITR. Although c'z claim a 70% shorter throw -in that sense i would suggest its benchmarking from a non type r shifter...

when you mentioned that c's shorter throw is only marginally shorter when compared to the ITR, you have to note that the ITR shifter was design for a shorter throw right from the factory.

and for those with short shifter those who botheres will noticed that the shifter @ netural, sorts of leaning to one side....and the only long term issue with short shifter is that it will hurt your synchros....on that note the type r synchros are also different from the non-type r and thus obvious to which will withstand a lil abuse:)

finally i have this impression that c's has ceased it business since last year and maybe i haven't been following on c's for a good few year now...so maybe so one can update me on that:)

b4 you ask what the different...notice the type ef has this ball joint along the shifter...well the ek doesn't have this ball looking joint instead it has this bell looking thingy as seen in tanghy picture...

IMO, there is nothing wrong with the ITR short shifter - it serve it purposes and less stress on the tranny's synchros...if you want move up, then i say the position shifter from tangy is a good setup... and no doubt that c's makes one of the better if not the best aftermarket shifter for honda:)

It's been a while since the last message was written in this thread and a lot of water went under the bridge in the meantime.
So.......
Springs - accquired s/h H&R coil springs.
These have lowered a car by ~25mm. (Still some gap to the fender in front).
Car looked better and the suspension was a fair bit stiffer. Quite uncomfortable on the road and a car felt "very nervous" on the race track. Not happy!:(

Short shifter _ accquired s/h DC Sport short shifter.
A throw was shorter, but a shift effort was a way to high.
Not happy!:(

So, back to factory springs and the shifter - HAPPY!:) :) :)

Next experiment?????????
Coilovers perhaps????????????? :confused:
