Seriously, if you don't have a SSK and you throw more than a couple of inches on there this thing will be like driving a big rig. Even with the SSK throws are going to increase.

Here is my mile long shifter. Or w/e that other guy said.

Man, I hated that stock steering wheel.

While I'm at it, I'll post this. And I might as well make another thread about it.

ddongbap · 01-11-2009, 07:14 AM

But srsly, Garm, if you can make me one asap, I'll pick it up, asap.

lol Rob, sorry, I meant no offense. the only reason i said it like that was because you were the first guy i could remember who had a major extension. i wanted my shifter shorter to look sleek so i cut mine down, i just couldn't have imagined extending it. props to you for being different with your car. kick ass Nardi steering wheel setup!

Naw, I know you were joking. I was just joking back. lol.

But I've taken it off since then. Was kinda long. I think it was a total of 6 inches above stock. Or something like that. 3-4 Inches will be bueno for me.

eTiMaGo · 01-11-2009, 01:19 PM

aaaah what guy wouldn't mind a few extra inches?

But as for myself, I'm happy with my short stick

I'd like a 2" extension!

Kaotic Lazagna · 01-11-2009, 03:12 PM

LOL at Thomas.

Kaotic Lazagna · 01-11-2009, 09:26 PM

Who knows, he gets bored a lot...and when he gets bored, he'll start doing anything to his car. LOL. Just last week, he went and graffiti'd his hood out of boredom. LOL.

Nope, just extremely bored. hahahahaha.

I do think 2" would be a modest increase. I fear 3" or 4" would hit the A/C controls. Heck, right now my middle knuckle is close to the A/C switch when I shift to 3rd gear.

It won't. Trust the guy with the 6 inch extension from six months ago.

cali yaris · 01-12-2009, 12:27 AM

My thinking is to pair this up with one or both NST short shifter kits, so your shifter would not hit the a/c controls.
