If they can't fix the cables I'm going to try.

The worst part is the fancy race cables actually have a lot of lash in them... my 25 year old cables have zero lash. I wish I could just return everything. 1200 is a lot to spend on a cool looking shifter...

That sucks man, I can't even imagine spending $1200 on a shifter, then not be happy with it.

Are you gonna return all of it then?

That's a little crappy on their part. If it were me, I would ask for pictures and then for you to send them in if those weren't helpful. Then, with them in my possession I could make a better call as to their condition. I wouldn't just claim that someone having an issue installing my part could only have damaged them if they are not working.

So I'm still alive and slowly working on this. It seems like one thing after another... Powertrain seems to all sorted out. Bought a K-Tuned RSX shifter assembly WITH H22 cables and trans bracket and the cables "don't fit" I have to send them back to K-Tuned because "they're damaged". I super regretful of the hassle I've had to deal with this shifter and hopefully K-Tuned takes care of me properly. But so far every interaction I've had with them I haven't been worth their time and somehow I damaged the cables in the 30 seconds they were installed. I'll write up a clearer description of the situation after it's all taken care of, but right now I'm just a little beat down. Still chugging along lol.

glad to hear it worked out for ya.

[Domesticated]

It's alive!

Didn't have the resistor box plugged in. Couldn't get it plugged in either lol. Had the wrong plug on the Rywire harness. Had to pull one off my old one and repin them. Next is getting all the wires organized. Then figuring out wtf to do with my ever leaking power steering. Then tune.

[Domesticated]

So I'm getting error 16: injectors. I realized the Rywire harness doesn't use the resistor box and I have stock injectors. It was my understanding I ordered a specific harness to continue using the injectors I already have. Emailed Rywire, but I'd like to hear feedback from you guys.

This sucks, I was getting work done, had momentum lol.

Steering wheel fits nicely! Shifter assembled well, just need to build a base plate.

[GTRON]

That's a beautiful picture right there

I don't have a center console lol. But they would charge more than 100 dollars for sure, and I can easily make one using steel. I did contact Chedas or FFC about getting custom to mounts made and they blew me off. Can't remember who it was though.

Good god look at all the new goodies! I bet those cables are going to feel phenomenal. I love the look of the shifter but I've always stayed away from it because it's hard to make it flow with our center consoles. I'm really looking forward to see how you pull it off. Have you thought about contacting Cheddas or FFC about machining you that adapter plate?

[Rilas]

I think that about covers it.

I want me some of those....

[Domesticated]

Guuuhhhhh.... Unfortunately I can't install it this weekend. Flying to Long Beach tomorrow for the Grand Prix. Be back Tuesday. Then flying out Thursday to go to Idaho to Easter. So it's gonna be a few weeks...

[Domesticated]

I'm gonna need to fabricate up a bracket to bolt it onto the car. Should be sweet though.
