Newer Item, bought a PRM Intake a couple weeks ago, installed it on a business trip (parking lot of a Ramada in western MN on my way to SD LOL)
Asked specifically for the original LONGER design (didnt want the short ram, necessatated for the auto trans)
Beautifully made, I really like it a lot!

also tonight I installed the skunk 2 short shifter, (ebay $49 incl shipping)
awesome, best bang for the buck, logically just as good as any other short shifter.

Also did a front little wiper and rear wiper delete.
I use Aquapel (Rain-X on steroids) and rarely use my wipers anyway as the rain beads up and flies off the windshield. And that little wiper does not do all that much.
A side benefit is I was able to adjust the main wiper to a lower position and the view out the windshield is now dramatically uncluttered as is the look of the car from outside.
I think vision in rain will be fine (because of the aquapel) if not I will try a 30" wiper instead of the 28" way before I install the little wiper because I like the cleaner look of the car inside and out so much better (and the likely but small MPG gain)

In studying the Mugen shifter, that looks like it is based on honda parts, (same pivot ball, same shift rod but longer paw, same housing except maybe taller)...so I cant see how the Mugen could be better.....
And yes same kit as I put on my GD, which worked perfectly for 20K miles until I sold it. With red loctite, that extension paw will never come loose (unless you heat it up to about 250 degrees to unset the loctite) Really simple install as you dont really have to undo any cables (except for the paw nylon pivot which you have to do on all shifters I believe)

Looking good man...had to stop by and check out the full thread.
I also nixed the "retard wiper" as my fiancee' likes to call it...LOL.
Love the SSR Type Cs. When you die and go to baller heaven, could you tell 'em that I at least tried?

i know this is an old thread, but how did you adjust your main wiper to a lower position?
