wow, i feel like a total creepster, in retrospect i shouldve said hi, but i saw you and your car a total of like 15 seconds and girl driving an evo took me about 14 seconds to proccess.

dont take the possiblility of you being gross comment too personal. i didnt actually get an accurate look at you, you could be absolutely stunning. anyways, your car looks sick... not a body kit guy but your jdm rear looks amazing.

see you around at the track, and definately at buschur's shoot out

The shifter in the X is very different. Hell, I can't even find 2nd gear until the car warms up. 3rd usually isn't an issue. You'll get the hang of it. Just get it down perfectly shifting quickly (not power shifting) and work your way up. Missing a lot of shifts can be $$$.

Also, in my opinion what really helps the shifter feel are the shifter busings. Underhood and shifter base. They make it more precise. AMS, Buschur, Works, etc... all sell them. And the best part is they're cheap!

+1 on that.

i have had the shifter bushings on both my VIII and IX and they do make a remarkable difference in the feel and confidence of the shift.

that was one of my major complaints about the X when i test drove it, that the shifter felt incredible vague. i didn't realize they had already come out with bushings for it, that should do wonders for the feel.
