Short shifter

This may be a stupid question, but how hard is it to put in a short shifter in our cars?? Also how hard is it to install a camber kit?? I'm a little retarded on this stuff...sorry

I put the Revo Technica SS in this past saturday and it took me about 30-45 minutes. It was a very, very simple procedure. Just be careful not to break anything and you should be all good. The DIY's are very good resources if you happen to get stumped as to what to do next.

Yeah, it's really, really easy. Get the DIYs for the center console removal (Toastygosty's site) and it should be no sweat. The only thing I had trouble with was those crazy clips for the front of the console (the ones with the button). I took me a few minutes to figure out that I had to push it all the way back out then insert it. Yeah college.

Who needs a short shifter when you can just grab the base of the stick and shift there, you're doing the same thing

No disrespect AB, but it's not quite the same thing. Feels totally different. The combo of the base RSX **** witht the DC Short Shift Adapter and the KumoSport Bushings is probably the most overall enjoyable mod I have done. Probably the cheapest too, altogether at under $140.

Ebay look to be the cheapest for Camber kits right now. Check the Marketplace forum. Groupbuys and private party sales seem to be the best route to go.

Can you guys tell me where you picked everything up from(Revo Technica SS , bushings, DC short shifter adapter). I know they prob. have it listed in the parts sec. but just wondering where everyone actaully bought their stuff from.

O yah, do you need the DC ss adapter for the Revo Technica SS to work? and what other parts are neccessary?

Thanks,
Steve*

I got my Revo from TORNACTIVE....The KUMO bushings, from their site...And RSX **** from Acura Auto........

Theirs NO NEED to get the DC Adapter(or any other adapter for that matter) because the relocated-cable point is already built in to the NEWER versions of REVO.......Check out this Thread....2 versions of Revo

Hope I was helpful....[IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/IMG]
