Not WRX related unfortunately but im sure you guys will appreciate some of the custom work that does get done to do that bit of DIY modification.

With the 1980s cars a lot of work has to be made custom - and the early CRX stuff is no exception. The above is a custom made no-reach short throw stick (pictured is installed in car in the US) which the guy fabricates for fellow CRX and Civic drivers. He takes the old stick and cuts it to pieces, welds, shapes and its done. The beauty of this short shifter is that while seated in the car - it places the gear stick right there at your fingertips... and its still a short throw stick...



I can't wait to fit mine into the CRX got mine on friday!

LOL that looks funny as fuck, but i totally see what your trying to achieve, more like the rally cars so you don't have to take your hand too far away from the wheel whilst changing gears, good work

hehe.. thats right I don't know why he called them 'fat-stick' but i'm expecting it to work good

obese = fat = no reach = no reach fat-stick

Hey Mikey,

I saw an AE86 with a similar setup on one of those Keiichi Tsuchiya DVDs.
Was wondering how they would get a reasonable throw with such a long stick.
Those photos you posted show it pretty well though.

Man deserves beer.

yup... the guy who built it did alot of testing...
You should see his own cars build thread! Its amazing. He took almost every part of the car out and weight it, measure it and if possible made a lighter replica of it... all custom home made stuff, he's a mechanical engineer by trade so he knows his shit.

that shifter cant be good for daily driving so long lol
