I would buy one if I had money or at least a job... But alas, I don't have a job at the moment.
How noticeable is the difference between the kartboy and the sti shortthrow?
Sakari Motorsports

you can add on the Kartboy shifter on the top of the STi short shifter for the WRXs.
From Kartboy's website:
Overall shift throw is decreased by 40%, providing a noticable difference and a solid feel....Cars with Factory 5-speed STi Shift kit should choose the 97-01 model.
You use the 97-01 model shifter... which is the same price as the 02+ Impreza! :naughty:

It's a HUGE difference for the STI. THe factory shifter reduces it by 10%. The Kartboy reduces that by 40% on top of that. It's also a shorter level which helps the feel a lot. I also recommend the bushings. Front bushings help engagement feel. And the Rear bushings reduce movement.
Bump for an awesome price. I already have a Kartboy or I would jump in on this. I paid $130 for my Kartboy and Bushings.

It takes the standard WRX knob right?

Also, stupid question, but is the Kartboy a short shifter, or a short throw shifter?

yes! ;)
Also, stupid question, but is the Kartboy a short shifter, or a short throw shifter?
not sure what you are asking. It shortens the shifter so your knob will sit lower and reduces the shift throw by 40%.
moose
02-22-2006, 10:23 PM
What I meant is, does it just shorten the shifter a bit, or does it actually shift the pivot point?
Sakari Motorsports

I want the option 4 for a Mazda Protege5 in silver/black (except there is no rear bushings). I am not familiar with the group buys. How do I get you the money and when do you need it? And does it just get shipped to my address or do I have to pick up?

Yes the Mazda only include shifter, shifter bushings and a knob. The price is $107 shipped to your door as I mentioned earlier.
When we get all 7 people for the group buy, you send me the money and it'll be shipped to your door. No need to pick up! ;)
I'll add you to the list. Thanks!

How much for just a black kartboy shift knob w/ the black sticker?

How much for just a black kartboy shift knob w/ the black sticker?
It will be $37 shipped for the shift knob.
But you can talk to someone that picked option 3 and ask them to upgrade to option 4, which comes with the knob and get the knob for $20!
5spdfrk
02-26-2006, 08:22 PM
Well, if anyone who chose option three would be willing to go to option 4, I will paypal them the $20 difference, and come pick it up. Thanks.
Sakari Motorsports
02-26-2006, 09:39 PM
