DIY Mugen quick shift assembly - Page 17

So far I think its great, but I really do think that all mugens should have come from the factory with this. Since it doesn't seem to change much but maybe a $2 part. Then turn around and try to sell it for $265.

Got mine last week, but going on vacation for another 3 weeks. Gonna have to wait 'til I get back I guess... I'm in no hurry.

che · 07-03-2008, 10:24 AM

I am about to order mine. Is it really worth the money?

***ASHRAF*** · 07-03-2008, 01:11 PM

Yes

***ASHRAF*** · 07-03-2008, 01:12 PM

shifting is much much much better now

08mugenfa5 · 07-03-2008, 02:28 PM

Its pretty good but its not drastic by any means. I guess all the hype on here made me think it was going to be like my old ap1.

If you'd read the whole thread, senfinger has posted numerous times it was NOT like s2k short, it was only 30%, whereas the AP1/AP2 is about 50% in comparison.

Better than OEM - check
Better than the adapters - check.

The Mugen QS is better than the OEM w/adapter.

All the adapter did was shorten the throw but did nothing for the "slop" in the assembly itself. The Mugen QS fixed all that & has a shortened throw too.

***jrotax101*** · 07-03-2008, 05:44 PM

i know, thats what i was trying to say -

the Mugen QS is better than oem, and it is better than any of the "adapters" available on the market, eliminating the points you mentioned above.

Btw, where are you, joey and angel located in FL? I'm in orlando at the moment..

Where the heck are you in Orlando? I'm in Longwood, Angel is by UCF & Joey is in Waterford Lakes. It would be cool as fack to meet up with you. Then you can see my gutted FA5 in person. Just got the roof covered in black vinyl last night to boot.

I'm at disney with my girl. Sadly we brought her excursion and i left my si at home. However i do plan another trip down here towards the end of the year, so i would love to meet up with y'all then.

got any pics of your car with the latest mods done?

02civicsi · 07-03-2008, 06:23 PM

I have a couple pics of the stripped interior but not yet of the black vinyl roof. The roof was covered last night.

Just post up in the FL chat thread when you're going to be in town next & I'm sure we'll make it a point to meet up with you.

The gas bill must be scary in the Excursion.
