90-94 Kartboy Short-throw shifters
Posted: Mon Sep 04, 2000 9:45 pm
Well, I just recieved a few e-mails from Tom at Kartboy Kustoms about
a short-throw shifter for the 90-94 Legacys. As soon as I get a spare
shifter out to him, he is going to evaluate it, hopefully design a
new one, and then send it back to me to try out. If all goes well and
if their is a demand for them(which I think there is), he will
probably be able to start making them for us. Cost has yet to be
determined simply because he is not 100 percent sure that he can make
them and plus the shifter is different then his current Impreza
shifters, but if all goes well, I would assume they would be close to
if not the same as the Impreza shifters which are about $100.
For those of you who don't know, Impreza owners have been absolutely
raving about his shifters for the last year and they are said to feel
better then the STi shifter and linkage combo, and rival that of the
Syms complete shift kit( the Kartboy is only the shifter, not the
linkage which doesn't have much to do with the short-throw effect
anyway), all at nearly a third of the cost. I will keep you guys
posted on how things go.
