I sit with the seat all the way back with a bit of lean also. Made shifting kind of annoying (3rd and 5th the most) so I sent a message to WC lathe werkz to see what he could do. He really came through and this thing is amazing, shifts feel like butter, and it's waaaaay more comfortable to shift.

 

congrats.

probably need more sporty looking bits in ur interior to make it feel at home.

 

nah, this isnt really a sports car lol. I didnt plan on doing anything to it except to make it a comfortable DD. This was the only thing it needed.

 

im just wondering den y u didnt just go with a black or simple silver color and run a more factory like knob. im just sayin' from a carguys' perspective. if ure happy with it, dat is wat is most important.

just seems like ure wearing a tank top with regular kahki's lol

 

This looks as if the increased length of throw created by the extension of the stick would leave you leaning even further forward for third and fifth.

 

Because this is what I wanted

 

Nope. No lean at all. Its in a way better position and every shift is perfect now

 

It appears that you and I are built differently. I have long arms and a long torso with very short legs. The stock 6 speed shifter is near perfect for me with the seat all the way forward. The Fit doesn't fit everyone and that presents problems for Honda (and all other auto manufacturers).

 

I have a 34 inch inseam; you just blew my mind.

 

Look nice. I had the same knob in my STI. Great quality

 

Yea he did good. I feel a short shifter would make everything even better, but there is only 1 option at the time and i'd rather wait to see if anyone else does one. Its awesome now but would probably be perfect with a good short shifter.

 

Twenty-six in. inseam, size 8 ball cap. Cannot rob banks no matter where. "It looked like Kent" although I had never been in that town before.
