1990 civic Si - period correct build, what parts?
Re: 1990 civic Si - period correct build, what parts?
best damn shifter ever! I also like what you've done with that knob
Re: 1990 civic Si - period correct build, what parts?
The FLP feels great. I am also glad the OEM boot worked with it. Most people I know that have FLP shifters have gutted interior, so I was happy the boot fit. Additionally, people rave about the Hybrid shifter but the Chinese spherical rattled like crazy. However, I would have swapped it out anyway because of the period correct goal.
The shift knob is unique. I got it from a company called Rennstall.

Oh nice! I bought 1/5 units from Marcus at Heel Toe a few years ago that were a darker color. It was in my ITR when stolen.
I grew to appreciate FLP when I first drove Jon D's '98 and later Chwalisaurus's EG6 with it. The placement + ability to fine tune to the individual driver's preference = money.

It has felt good so far. Honestly, only have touched first and reverse. Given my new tires, I cannot drive around with my bad alignment. The biggest upgrade to me is no more rattling. That Hybrid shifter's Chinese spherical rattled so bad.coolhandluke wrote: ↑Sat May 25, 2024 10:32 amOh nice! I bought 1/5 units from Marcus at Heel Toe a few years ago that were a darker color.

It sounds like some Kingpin Machine sphericals are in your future...PatHidden wrote: ↑Tue May 28, 2024 4:34 pmIt has felt good so far. Honestly, only have touched first and reverse.

Your pics have an old school polaroid vibe, matching the car, I dig.

thanks!
The pictures are actually from a film camera. My buddy, in the e30, takes some film shots at every track day.
