Thumbs up K4RT3OY (KartBoy) Product Review!
Well, this weekend I installed everything that kartboy produces for the EVO: Exhaust hangers, full bushing set, short shifter, and shift knob.

The installs were very simple, and the fitment was perfect. The fabrication of these products is amazing!!! Very high quality!

Not only did everything arrive VERY fast, but I got a load of stickers/temp tatoos/ and fireballs! lol

FIVE thumbs up!!!!

Yeah- I agree- get the kartboy short shifter! Before this one I had the megan racing shifter. It's a good shifter as well, but the kartboy fit better, and the plastic pivot caps moved more freely once installed- giving the shifter a very "bolt-action" like feel. It's amazing!!!

I'm wearing a temporary tatoo right now!

like mention above, the base bushings give it a more rifle bolt feel to it. not mushy like the stock rubber ones.
