Oops! Here are a couple vids (not of me, of course ). Even though this gearbox is H-pattern, shifts seem about as fast as I would expect a sequential to be.

I've been looking at these for a few years now and have yet to find one installed on a US S2000. I too am very interested due to an accident, which has left my left leg badly injured. As a result my S has barely been driven in the last three years.

I've been in contact with Ikeya over the years but they still dont want to release the shifter.
My guess is that its not working perfect yet.

Other then can't miss a shift is worth a fair amount IMHO. There are several places at every track I go to where my gear choice is somewhat chosen by the fact that when the car is laid over in a corner missing a shift is a higher probability. I grab 5th gear early coming into T12 at Road Atlanta for the reason that finding 3rd at the Apex would likely result in a new engine and a helicopter ride for the driver.

I'm still thinking of having the Quaife 60G put into our SSM car. The local Porsche race shop said they'd do it. Talking with a local import speed shop to see what they think as well.

There are a lot of tranny swaps that I could do, but most wind up with second gears that are too short for autocross.

So for me, more for strength and gearing than other sequential dog box benefits.

Agree 100%. I regularly mis-shift, almost always 5th->6th instead of 5th->4th.
