I got a Circuit Hero extension this winter. Didn't put it in yet. I'm not sure if I'm going to like it or not. It's really different. |

was also looking @ that. liked the fact u could take it off for daily driving. BUT most people said once u get a longer shifter u wont wanna go back to anything else. i was looking @ the circuit hero shift knob as well. nice piece. |

very interesting. A the Honda meet @ Quaker Steak & Lube in Robinson there was a Del Sol boosted that had a very tall shifter in it. At the time I found it odd but now I see why he would have it. There may be pics I'm not quite sure. |

super surprised this thread got overlooked. and only 19 people from the site viewed it. kind of bums me out knowing noone really gives a shit about the 'tech' section of the site and would rather just stick to members rides and randomness. damn bummer. wanted this to be a good technical resource site but i guess thats a FAIL. |

Exactly. I thought it was odd till I drove one. The shift times are cut down alot. I'm putting my extension on a stock shifter first. I do have a B&M double bend for it and a heavy ass knob, but I don't know what I'll like. I feel like I shift fast enough with the stocker and I don't have crunchy synchros yet. If I run the B&M, crunch the syncs, then in come the gearspeeds. |
