The Tommy Kaira Hebi Bebi Shift **** Thread :D
Got mine in from Z1 today!
I love my sexy polished ARC **** but it's too short and causes my hand to sometimes hit the SAFCII. I also had the ARC on my Evo 9 and it's a beautifully crafted piece but I wanted to try something new
Initial Impression: HEAVY! Heavy and more heavi-ness! lol it's definitely a rather weighty piece of metal. I haven't had a chance to drive it yet so I can't give any opinion on that until tomorrow. However, it does look sexy - but it's a different kind of sexiness...it's not as flashy and "fashionable" as the titanium polished ARC I had on prior...but for some reason the silver matches my car really well and the red turtle emblem gives it a mysterious feel
I like it so far and I hope shifting will be as great as good as others raves about.
POST YOURS!
Red turtle....who doesn't love "squirt" from Finding Nemo right? lol

no where else to put the iphone unfortunately. I hate putting it by the cup holder because it's hard to reach. I might still relocate it but for now it looks pretty good there. We'll see...I hate the 03-05 center console but we gotta live it with

I just got mine today from Z1 no pictures as of yet, but the weight and the size of the shift **** truly makes shifting effortless and very fast when it needs to be.
I used to have a Nismo stick type **** and thought the lever style was unbeatable for quick shifts, but I'm seriously impressed by the speed and accuracy that can be reached with a palm style shift with this ****, it definitely has to be its heavy ***.

When Z1 created the "pre-order" thread.....I was about to jump the guns but didn't b/c I have the SS ball shifter from zeetoyz (discontinued BTW) and it's great. It's heavy, bout 1 pound....TK a little bit heavier.
Anywho - I was thinking bout switching b/c I like the JDM'ness of TK
My buddy have one and I envy him
Nismo shifter - are good shifter but they're always up for sell
