commend u on trying ur own idea... but i think this may have problems down the road. i had to change my shifter cables once already, u cant really stretch them out much more than how they are already placed. if you look at the bracket on the tranny that holds the lines there is a peice of plastic that keeps the cable on the right track and if that breaks it feels like your syncros have blown to pieces cause you wont be able to shift fast at all. trust me lol. but anyways with that cable being stretched out another inch or so, your putting alot of stress on that plastic peice because u have to put all the movement in a front wheel drive car into play... and the si has ALOT. it may feel fine now but in 6 months your gonna be slammin thru gears showin someone how fun your car is and how reliable honda is, then your gonna throw it into 2nd and all your gonna get is grinding, then you'll try it again and you'll be like" damn i think my syncros goin bad" and your buddy will be like" HONDA pff .... junky jap cars" lol, just my 2cents since ive had a broken shifter cable already and they cost a pretty good amount and its a F****** pain to change and i do this for a living. it sucked
