Very nice rides there.
 

Did anyone else notice the ikea shifter in that VR4? I had emailed these guys about one for the galant and I was told they didnt make one looks like they do now or this guy figured out how to make the evo one work for a galant. Basically it works like a sequential gear box but you still have to use the clutch. See link below to see what I am talking about....The Ikeya Formula sequential shifter converts convential H pattern shift to a sequential up and down shift mechanism.This one is for a 180sx but you get the idea...pay attention to 1:18-1:20 and 1:31 and again at 3:03 of the video..........

Wow. Pointless unless you are trying to grab a few tenths and you have no more options. Seems like a huge PITA for any kind of normal driving situation. If you drag, fine. If you autocross, sequential can be nice too. Anything else, whats the point?

Too much wheel for my taste. Where are the lower front lights?
Other than that, it looks really good.

The car in question uses a dog-box also, so no need to clutch on the up-shifts.

Speedtech motorsport have developed an air-shift system to work with it also, for drag racing.

Are you serious dude? How about no more missed shifts? and you dont need a dogbox that particular car just had one...

Hill climb, circuit, basically anytime you're racing and want to go faster.

synchro boxes dont play the greatest with them, more suited to a dog box.
