well first off...Tom and the rest of the guys at kartboy are great....i installed the kartboy underhood bushings last week and today i installled my short shifter....these guys sure know how to treat customers....they sent my shifter out with licorice and a free t-shirt...Also the shifter is awesome the throw is very short and are complimented with the under hood bushings ...it is a great mod at a reasonable price....

if you dont know .....now you know

 

stock shifter installed....

 

here is the kart boy....
thanks sweetness!

 

Is it notchier than the stock shifter??

 

Best (inexpensive) mod I've done so far. Tom is one hell of a nice guy, I live close to his office in San Diego. Tom had me come over on a Sunday morning, installed my shifter for free. Gave my kids free shirts, stickers, tempoary tat's, and bottled water/candy.

Also bought a set of his exhaust hangers for my Buschur 3" exhaust system. He even had a new stereo relocation kit he sold to me for dirt cheap (Tom is an Evo VIII owner).

I never miss a shift now, very exact and percise, not notchy at all. My exhaust system doesn't rattle, very solid, 100% better than stock hangers.

I've had all of my mod's done at XS-Engineering located in Huntington Beach. They were very impressed with his hangers.... Good job Tom!

I highly recommend his products, wish he would come out with some more goodies for our Evo's.

I just installed mine yesterday. It really shortens the 1-2 and 3-4 shifts (Which really are the problem shifts).

It's a fantastic unit overall. Tom also threw in a Twizzler and a t-shirt for me too.

How hard are the underhood bushings to install? I have the Amoeba bushings sitting in my center console waiting to go in.

 

yeah underhood bushings took me 15 min. to install...the hardest part is taking the battery and tray out....i took some photos and did another post on those...its under installs...check it out...they really make a difference
