I have an EP3 also, and until you drive one everyday, you will not get it.

I get in my Rallycross SE-R now, and the knob feels stupidly too low. And its an OEM shifter.

Mark me down as "preliminary interest," even though I doubt there's enough interest to sell even 20.

A long time ago I started seeing function as form, and this shifter is a prime example, I laugh every time I see those trying to cut their shifter down, it is a prime display of lack of knowledge and childlike appreciation for something they don't understand. As for those who prefer the stock shifter maybe try out a good flp shifter, it is truly a great experience.

now that acura shifter may be taking things a tad to far lol. however i think a shifter made for shorter throw but at stock height or maybe just 1 or MAYBE 2 inches taller would be kick ass. slap a 300zx knob on there (trust me on this guys! the z32 knob is amazing! perfect weight and large enough for a good slip free grip) and that would be even better than may pace setter as i remember it................the PS shifter in my b13 was the smoothest shifting manual trans i have ever had.

Someone would have to rip my pacesetter from my cold, dead hands.

I have the OG pacesetter as well and think it is the best short shifter out there. I would like it higher, but it is smooth and not notchy!

Welp, I got good news for you & anyone else that is interested. I just got off the phone with Marcus from FLP/HeelToeAuto & all he really needs is a car in his shop with a stock shifter for an hour or two so he can take measurements. Hopefully we can get someone from the So Cal/OC area that can leave their car at there shop for an hour or two & let these guys do what they got to do. He also needs input from us on what we are looking for in a shifter.

But before any of this goes down, we need to see how many of us are serious. He said he can sell this product to us for the same price that he sells it to the Honda guys. A cheap ass $200 & trust me its worth it as many of the other forum members have said. He’s been approached by people from different tuner markets before but nothing ever goes through & finalizes because no one is ever serious & **** dies out. The only import market that is serious & waste’s money is the Honda market. I don’t want that to happen with us. If you guys want quality parts that are made by quality people, then you must pay to play.
