Talking Hi All

Just bought my first wrx 2012 and really loving it.Ive always driven Holden v8s since I got my license and I can say the feel and handling of my new Rex is way better and so much more fun to drive.Its not the most powerful car I've owned but I will get the power upgrades soon.So far i have installed Cobb cold air induction and Kart boy short shifter with bushings.I haven't taken any photos yet but will do when I get home from work I'm a fly in fly out worker so I only had the car for a few days before i went back to work.Im really looking forwards to going on the next cruise when it's on.Hope to meet u all soon.

Mind me asking how you have found the shifter since replacing the oem bushings (assuming front and rear)?

Hi Soksta

I tried the short shifter first with the original bushings and i thought it felt good and gear shifting felt alot tighter and shorter travel.Came back from test run installed the kart boy bushings and it felt even more tighter and didnt have this stupid sqeeky noise when shifting.I recomend to anyone getting this kit to install the kartboy bushings as it made the shift feel way better and more solid.Installing the bolts on the rear bushing were a pain in the arse to install that took the majority of the install.
