Here are some updated pics of the gate shifter I built a few monts back. Most everyone suggested that I lower it so I did.
I also made the shaft a little thinner and added a leather under boot instead of the rigged plastic one. The plastic one would chatter against the plate
Now that I have some miles on it, I can say that it shifts out so nice and smooooth
I only missed one shift with it and that was just after the first few days of getting use to it.
First install/before


The new set up the shifter sits at OEM hight

 

cool!

 

i don't see any gates....just a hole in a metal plate.

 

hey that's pretty cool!

nice work.

 

Looks nice, but I don't see the gates.

 

It is an open gate because of how close each gear is from side to side. The gears over lap each other. The shifts are 30% shorter than stock.
I am working on a full gate set up. It will be about 6 to 8 months before it will be ready

 

It is a bit more than "just a hole in a metal plate". That said, there is nothing in the shift area that is Honda it is all a one off fabrication The floor consol is the only thing Honda.

 

don't really care for the shifter, but how did you install the VGS wheel??

 

The shifter is just something I wanted to try. Not everyone likes it and thats cool but I like it and it gets a fare bit of attention when I take the car to a meet
As for the wheel it's a spline transplant and that is simplifying it.
Thanks
