UPDATE: My opinions on the short shifter changed a bit after my first track day. Watch this video starting @ 9 : 46 th-cam.com/video/eknaONq_gtg/w-d-xo.html for my most recent thoughts. I still love the renegade shifter but im going to back to stock.
Nice, man! Hit me up on ig if you have any questions about the install. When i bought mine in the last preorder, i think they sold out within 24 hours or so. Best to get on it early!
New sub. It is OEM all the way for my 2004 S2000. I also own a 94 Integra GSR that I have kept stock since new except for the exhaust 2 years ago. I have an after market cat back that I absolutely detest. Looking to get something much quieter and closer to stock. Enjoying your content, looking to seeing more from you.
@@zaahidrahman I now have the Integra insured as a classic car. It has fewer than 90,000 kilometers. I store it from November to April or May depending on weather. Canadian winters are not kind to older Hondas and Acuras Same for my S2000 with 81,000 kms which I bought in June 2020. I know that car has not seen winter since at least 2009. Not sure before that as it came from New Jersey.
When you said “since new” are you saying youre the first owner of the gsr? Must be beautiful. Your s2000 purchase was a good investment as well. I bought mine in 2019 with similar mileage as yours and its only gone up in value since. Its going to be fun to holding onto these cars!
@@zaahidrahman I bought the GSR right off a local Acura dealer's lot in June 1994. I am the forth owner of my S2000. The previous owner had it for 9 or 10 years. He took good care of it.
I had one which felt great but unfortunately it’d rattle over 4K rpm. I know a few others who had this issue, didn’t affect performance but got too annoying overtime so went back to stock.
I haven’t experienced any rattling yet but id likely switch back to oem if it did. Do you think it has any thing to do with the amount of grease provided with the kit? I felt like it definitely use more than what renegade provides.
@@zaahidrahman also my first thought so I bought a tub or grease and went to down. Was ok for about a week then it came back unfortunately. Keen to hear how you go though!
From all of the ones I've seen rattle,, some way more than others. This shifter isn't the best thing, hard to get into reverse at times, also during track use some gears don't go in smoothly.
Thanks, man! I picked up the shift boot from mita motorsports. They ship directly from japan. Not cheap but options for oem stuff new are pretty limited these days..
Sweet review! Might have to post some thoughts on the renegade shifter as well on my channel! I think I have one sitting around I never installed haha, keep pushin man!
Thanks bro! You should! Im curious to hear about what other s2k owners think of renegades short shifter. I like to think im unbiased but i did spend all that money so it better be worth it 😂
@@zaahidrahman not so big. We have a great Honda club here. It should be around 25 s2000 in Norway. 3 yellow ones. So i have 33% of yellow ones here 😂 search for Honda pro Jason norway on TH-cam.
I do still enjoy this but part of me is not sure if i would do it again. Its a well manufactured product and does add more of a mechanical feel along with a shorter throw to your shift. Im curious if i could achieve a similar result with just the bushing instead of the kit. My favorite part is the mechanical shift feel.
This is the only place I know that still have the oem black/red shift boot: www.mitamotorsports.com/s2000-interior/red-boot - hopefully you like it as much as i do!
LOL i thought the same thing but apparently its a somewhat popular mod. People remove the locking nut so the knob sits about 3/4th of an inch lower and the use loctite to keep the shift pattern lined up. Big price to pay for a slightly shorter throw imo....
@@zaahidrahman sarcasm aside, it's really a thing. The bolsters are really poorly made and eventually turn flat like a pancake. It looks terrible and hurts the value of your car.
@@sdlausen1 lol i genuinely appreciate it. After i read your comment it got me thinking i havent seen my actual seats in years. I put clazzio seat covers on the soon after i bought the car. Maybe ill do a video on the seat covers next. They come with a “bolster protector” but its essentially a plastic piece that maintains the shape under the cover. Good options for s2k owners who have already pancaked their bolstering 😂

S2000 community 😎 got mine a month ago, absolutely in-love
Nice! Your comment makes me want to go for a drive today lmao.
Your video has got me thinking. It does look like a way to enjoy shifting even more in the s2000!
Im super happy with it. Im looking forward to taking the car out again asap!
Never thought I might change my shifter until now lol, great info👍🏽
I also recently installed my renegade shifter and it blew me away too. I wonder how good gated manuals feel now compared to this lol
Right! Aye bro me and you both gonna own gated 6-speed cars one day lol. Im commenting it into existence. Ill be happy with an r8 😂
I'm an AP2 owner myself. Love your content bro. Keep it up.
Thank you for watching!
Awesome! I’m preordering the shifter on renegade this weekend!
Nice, man! Hit me up on ig if you have any questions about the install. When i bought mine in the last preorder, i think they sold out within 24 hours or so. Best to get on it early!
Love the videos man! Not many s2k channels like yours out there!
Thanks, bud!
Good vid bro, does the brass shifter bushing come with the short shifter kit or did you have to purchase that separately?
Thanks, man. Yes, the shift kit 2.0 includes brass bushing. Cheers!

thanks! i'm excited to hear you like the content! cant believe you have a stock 94 gsr!! thats a unicorn these days. they are aging well.

@@marcperras9072 this keeps getting better lol. Must be nerve racking taking your integra out. Very nice stable of hondas!
Looks like a pretty easy installation! Good shit man!!! 👍🏼🤟🏼
Haha right on. If i can do it..... anyone can lol
I like the red shift ball. Who makes it. also, the brass fitting at the bottom of the shifter, where can I buy one.
Shift knob is made by mugen and the brass bushing is made by renegade motorsports… lol

Mind sharing where you bought the OEM shift boot? thanks
Mita motorsports!

Great video dude , subbed
Thanks, man!
Good content!
Where did you buy your shift boot?
Mita Motorsports! They carry lots of oem stuff from japan. www.mitamotorsports.com/
can u link to the shift boot
This is the only place I know that still have the oem black/red shift boot: www.mitamotorsports.com/s2000-interior/red-boot - hopefully you like it as much as i do!
Who loctites a shift knob.

@@zaahidrahman I need it even shorter than that so I can accidently go from 5 to 2, so I mechanically over rev to 12k.
More driving videos please
Bro i keep screwing up the gopro audio 😭. I was hoping to include more pulls in this video. Next one for sure. More sound clips and driving!
@@zaahidrahman I been trying to make some driving videos too but the GoPro audio isn’t that great along with hardtop rattle.
Bro... you are DESTROYING the seat side bolster on your car. Once the foam gets pancaked, it looks like ass. Don't ever sit in an S like that.
ah, thats good advice. need this car to last a lifetime
