hi guys, im lookig to switch my rotor shaped **** for a 6" sickspeed ****. My only problem is that idk the fitting of the stock ****...Sizes i have seen so far are: 10x1.25; 8x1.25; 12x1.5; and other ones...pretty sure that the correct size is 10x1.25, but i want to be sure before ordering that, economy isnt good enough to just throw 60 dollars to the trash if it doesnt fit. Thanks a lot guys.

 

Yup, Mazda's size is 10x1.25, twist right off and twist back on.

 

thanks a lot bro...going to change that since i tried one on a friends drift car and the diference for me was great, didnt missed some shifts that i usually do because of my tiny slippery hands...plus its going to give the car a JDM touch :p

 

Shift ***** for some cars have a specific weight for a reason. I'd buy a mazdaspeed ****. same weight as stock.

 

yes but i really want a looong **** ****...way more confortable for me than the stock one...plus it cant be that much heavier, sickspeed say that their shift **** is around 4onz...

 

 

The stock **** weighs almost 3 times that. 300ish grammes vs 110\4oz.

Mazdaspeed's **** weighs the same and at least won't make your car look dumb.

 

I hate those ***** shift *****... look so goofy.

 

i dont see why is that funny but cool...everyone have their one taste and your car is a way to show it...what you do to your car is not anyone's problem...if i like those shift ****, its not anyone's problem, its my car and i do whatever i want and afford to it. Im starting to drive gymkhanas, some drifting, etc. so for me its a mod i will use for a long time since im thinking about making my car a drifting project eventually.

But thanks for posting anyway bro...

 

If you're considering racing then a properly weighted shift **** is the only wise option...
Having a top-heavy shifter really helps.

 

yes but its not a super serious project, just for fun, so i wont be looking a lot about every detail

 

Then you're a ricer and therefore free to ruin the car as you wish.

 

I mean that i wont try to work to hard on minor details like a super expensive mazdaspeed **** when i could save that money for more important parts while getting a shift **** that i like and fins it more confortable for me. And will focus on the engine/ suspension/ getting the right wheels and tires.

 

Do whatever you want then. We told you why a weighted shift **** works way better than a shitty cheap one but if you're still convinced that that **** is any good go ahead and buy it.

 

hi there guys, i finally got the sickspeed shift ****...way lighter than the stock one and FOR ME its 100xtimes more confortable than the stock one...bse50 thanks for all the advice, i really thank you for that because you were giving me advice with a solid base. you should try this kind of **** and see if you like it, not missing any shifts like before in my case.

 

He wasn't laughing at your choice; you wrote **** ****.

Anyway, got any pics of the **** you bought?

 

OP, seeing you have a 2009 RX-8 and Top Left gate for REVERSE Gear...and you get tired of the new **** you purchased, just so you know the NC Miata/MX-5 uses the same thread and R position as your 8.

But it is a round long ****, very comfortable, sits in/on my hand well, but to buy new OE Mazda, about $169-$202!!..

Just for reference...
N123-46-030A Leather NC MX-5 without Chrome Ring. $169
NE55-46-030B Leather NC MX-5 WITH Chrome Ring $202

 

ohhhh....i just saw that...that sounds so bad now that i notice it...anyway yeah i have pics will try to upload them tonight

 

Pics of your **** please. And of the gear shifter thingy too.

 

I go this for mine when my original one came apart. I love it other than it gets really hot if I forget to but my windshield visor up.
