Renesis Racing Short Throw Shifter
Has anyone installed this yet? I was kinda interested in it, even though I don't think the stock one is long or anything. I like the reverse lockout. Any opinions? I've never installed one so I really don't know anything about them.

By pure chance, I met and talked to the people responsible for this product. The establishment is based in SF Bay Area. According to him, this shifter allows for stock shifter ***. But the shifting length is reduced to provide a true short shift action.
It sure sounds great. I wonder who would be the guinea pig first though. :p

I would be VERY interested in seeing a REAL picture of their shifter. The picture shown seems to be incredibly identical to our RX-7 short shifter picture, as shown on: http://mazdatrix.com/g4.htm
We already looked into making them (way back in August - bought new levers, etc.) and had to put the project on the back burner. The RX-8 shifter and tower design does NOT lend itself to easily making a short shifter LEVER of the "normal" design (like ours, Mazdaspeed for RX7, C's, etc.)
It will need to be more along the lines/design of the B&M one for 93-95 RX-7's -- where the whole tower is replaced AND the lever pivots VERY differently from stock.
