Crazy Shifter Mod

[chenslee_cheese]

Hi.

My name is Colby. I'm a mechanical engineer. I design robots.

When I'm not putting hard working American workers out of jobs with my robotic marvels, I'm screwing up my perfectly good car:



Some of you folks may remember this:

Well, I'm at it again. All those penis enlargement spam mails got me thinking:



Thats one full inch baby!

There is just one problem. The left side of the shifter mech. bangs the boot ring. In the next picture you can see where the ring is actualy cut out to clear this before the lift. It sure as hell hits it now.



I plan to buy another one and carefully cut it away. The boot however is long enough and the console section fits over it and clears:



The only other thing I had to do was unbolt one of the shifter cable brackets under the car. I was able to get 7/16's of an inch of slack before unbolting this bracket, but afterwards, it was easy to lift it a whole inch up. The cables are relocated, but seem to be about the same distance away from the exhaust:



Of course I won't be able to get driving impressions untill late next week when the car sees pavement for the first time in nearly 3 weeks.

So, my homies, what do you think?

I know, I know. I suck at the interweb. I suck at a lot of stuff like washing dishes and being nice too.

Look closer. There's a Comptech short shifter piece on there already. The washers move the entire shifter assembly up and back, making the shifter closer to the steering wheel by an inch.

It just occured to me that most of you guys have never seen the inside of your center consol. Unless you dropped your SS or the blue cap, there is really no reason to take it off.

I guess I should have provided some before shots too.

I work on cars for a living and this is my 4th honda product....Ive done swaps for friends and with friends too from B series to H series in EF's, EG's and EK's....I had a CRX with a B series swap in it but I'm speaking for myself....
no biggy I just think it's alot of work for just a little gain I want to see what happens when he drives it....he changed the Angle in wich the cables are in and this may not be a problem sitting still It might be a problem while moving and under heavy load......

If I wanted an EP I would have gotten one the shifer being were it was was the main reason I didn't plus cause the engine sucked in it too...( I know i'm gonna catch it for that statment but hey it's a free country) the 99-00 si was way better and the 06-07up takes cake....
I'm gonna find a 99-00 si used and make it a prodject car...B20 vtec supercharged.....Integra type R trans and all the goodies to go with it

Yeah, the ep3 shifter was a little goofy, but it did get the shifter closer to the steeing wheel.

I was really excited when the 2001 Si's came out, but at $19k+ with the base RSX engine, I really felt that Honda was lost hope. I love hatch's but ended up getting a WRX in 2002 instead.

Anyway, I drove around with the 1" lift and it's very comfortable and intuitive. I'm going to be very dissapointed if I can't work out some of the (minor) interferences with the console.

wont that be a problem for shifting gears.? because one of the lines shifts gears and the other moves the gears.
