why does the renisis racing one look different from the mazdaspeed one? The gaskets and such dont match up?

I reserve judgement until I actually try it out. But in general with a short shifter you still have to wait on the synchros to do their jobs. Or you can force them and actually shift slower. I think a different shift **** would be enough for most..

The one I ordered should be here in a few weeks, they just came out so it takes a little longer to get here from Japan...

Well, I'm holding my breath on the Renesis Racing one. The picture is of a 2nd gen RX-7 shifter and bushings. If they can't even manage to produce a photo of the actual unit they are selling for the RX-8, then how high can your expectations be of their actual product and service?

Edit: Make that - "I'm NOT holding my breath!" I must have been tired or something...

That was Deathrace 2000. IIRC, it was David Carradine's character (Frankenstein?) which had the robotic arm.

Are these parts coming to CZ first? Or are they coming direct to you? I have the clutch line coming also, and I'm wondering if it is on the same flight.

i had a 92 talon and that had a short shift. but they made the nobb long like a joy stick or something. it was cool though because the arm rest was so high that all the action had to be in the wrist. yous guys rock!
