Minutes before placing an order for a new kartboy short shifter for $100 after searching for a used one for months, I happened to check the fs forums on nasioc and what do you know.. a kartboy shifter and leather shift knob all for $20 shipped!

I can't wait to install it. I am so sick of the long throws of my stock shifter.

Just wanted to share my happiness. Thanks nabisco.

Probably the best 100 and some dollars ive ever spent.

Nice find.

There's some good deals out there if you really look around. I found a set of Lamco gauge pack for $70. I would've got it but I've already have a set and it cost me over $100 :roll:

I received and installed everything today and man, what a difference. With the new shifter joint and kartboy shift bushings I recently I put in along with the shifter and leather knob, the shifter setup now feels tight and precise. I would even say the setup feels better then my old BMW. All that's left is a new leather shift boot and it will be perfect.

I highly recommend the kartboy shifter setup as a mandatory mod. It completely transforms the car.

Yeah, I love mine. Even better though, mine was free! A gift from the wife. We're retarded, we bought each other car parts for our anniversary last year :lol:

nice score indeed. my friend gave me an E-bay knock off of a kartboy (which is identical to his real kart boy coincidentally) and I really like it. It's not that much shorter that the factory short shifter I had before tho. I need to get new bushings next
