Performance Short Shifter & CDV Review + Performance Aero w PE pic

Finally have time to get few parts swap out.

Modified CDV

Clutch pedal now feel much more direct, with each gear change, it just bites and go, instant power transistion.


Short Shifter Lever + Sparco Racing Knob

I had the original shifter on with short shifter lever installed at first, so the it actually added about half inch to the height of the knob.

the lever really reduce the side to side distance, up and down also reduced a bit, but i used to stuck sometimes when shifting into 5th, now i get stuck often when shifting into 3rd with stock shifter....

Finally I dig up my 10 years old sparco racing knob to complete project, it really made big difference in terms of driving experience. Made from solid aluminum, the "click-click" feels very very distiquishable now, no more mis-shift into 3rd or 5th now.

With all the above mods combined, the car feels much much more mechanical, making EVERY shift very enjoyable.



Also had a chance to upgrade to Performance Aero Rear with my PE, here is couple of pic on the PA+PE and the sparco shifter.

Beautiful!!!

If you don't mind me asking, where did you buy your Performance Aero Rear bumper? And how much did it cost to get everything done. (installation, paint, etc)

I got my aero rear kit plus a extra underbody cover penal(not included) for close to 800, the paint job was about 550 includes proper color sanding (very important or u get orange peel).

you should really shop around all the dealer around you, online is more expensive option for me due to shipping charge.
