Solid shifter bushing.

Are the shifter bushing rubber? I am not talking about the inside the engine bay bushing.I already changed those with Acuity bushing. But it seems it didn't do much to the feel of the shift. Anyone try to use washers to replace the shifter bushing under the console?

You gonna have to go with a modified CRZ short shifter or a WK one, since up to date, those are the ones that are available.....

Was thinking on getting them, since I have the shifter cable ones and the BuddyClub short shifter..... And had to reuse the oem ones and they were a bit TIGHT!!!!...

I like them. They do improve your shifting. I used to have problem with a hesitant 3rd gear that seems to have improved. Overall it's good for the money. Onto the next upgrade.

Bang for buck which would you chose?

Rigid Collar.
Frnt Swaybar.
Or springs?

IF you decide to get them. The install advice from me is to put rags between the carpet on the side. To prevent it falling in there.Stops you having to take the seat off and lift the carpet to get the darn thing lol.

Interesting about the TB spacer. Any threads on this so I can research it..

There's no thread here that I could find... And on the web i only found one to use between the OEM TB but not to use any other.... Larger TB's... That's when I decided, with a friend of mine to go ahead and make one for my GK...

I used an S2K TB {67mm} at first, BUT it was WAY TO BIG for a stock internals fit engine... So we decided to downsize it to a CiViC or TSX, or Odyssey one which all are 61mm, {they are a bit different physically, but same diameter and use the same gasket...}
So if interested.... These are the one I KNOW {since we measured them all} work without any problems on the stock engine.... With aftermarket intakes or modified OEM one....

Go to my instagram.... I have pics of all my kids there... @kaku_gk5

I would love for more power. But right now the focus is handling..

I want this car to ride straighter flatter and comfortable. I feel it's too bouncy on rougher roads.

There's a guy on FB that used gen9 civic coils on the fit with good result. I can't afford brand new coils so this might be an option.
