Mugen Short Shift Kit+Skunk2 Short Shift Adapter+Circuit Hero Extender+ARC Burnt Shiftknob= O Hellz, yea-SEX.

On the real though, that's my setup right now, it feels f*cking great. Imma go to Adam's tonight to test it out on the track so I'll let you guys know how it performs and look for NEW vidz on the tube later 2nite

got my T1R short shifter from a local shop called Speedstar in Toronto for $95 Cdn installation included. Not bad of a deal compared to the Mugen / H-Fit

What would be helpful now.......

we know that the Skunk 2 and H-Fit place the shift knob about 5/8" higher than stock and from Pandas pics we know the TR1 places the shift knob about 5/8 lower than stock.

What about the Mugen?????

The installation guide for the mugen says 20mm shorter, which is close to 5/8ths

If you look at the picture of the Mugen short throw
The mountind holes contain a brass sleeve in a rubber bushing, hard mounts replace this with a solid steel sleeve. Kind of like replacing your rubber suspension bushings with High density PU like energy suspension. It should transmit a bit more vibration and make it feel a bit more solid,

so it makes the shifter vibrate more, which makes it "feel solid?" which makes it... easier/faster to shift? that's a little confusing for me.

Not necessarily faster, but you can be more aggressive. Lets put it this way. If you have to ask, you probably don't need or want it. I don't plan on using them in my car, but if your car will see some track time, even if you take your times seriously on a track day, or if you will be autocrossing, it couldn't hurt. But if you just want to make your ride a little nicer, and a little faster, you might find they detract from what you are looking for. But hey, for 25 bucks, give them a shot. If you don't like them, put them back up here, and I'm sure someone will take them off your hands.
