I have been working on this car lately. As soon as the turbo is on it should be done.

Here is a shifter I built for the Civic. There are also a couple of shots if the front crossmember, radius rods, and half width radiator mounts that I built.

The Shifter has had the pivot point moved up 3.5in and the overall length has been lengthened by 9+in. I used 3/4in Chromoly tubing with aluminum for the spacers. The pivot point is a COM10 monoball from Aurora. I machined a plastic bushing to fit inside a peice of 2.0in tubing that flares out to 3in to clear the swing of the shifter. I welded the tubing to the stock intermediate rod. Everything bolts together like honda designed it to and the throw has been reduced to about an inch of throw between gears. Wish my Porsche shifted like this.

There are also some pics of a tubular crossmember that I built. Gives me some more room for the turbo and gets rid of the soft rubber bushings for the radius rods. This also gives me some adjustablility for castor as Honda didn't see fit to make it adjustable. I also made some mounts and put in a half width twin core radiator from a later model car. Lighter and made of aluminum plus it gives some more clearance for the wastegate and intercooler.
