yea.. that would frekain kick @$&.. ahh i hate when the a word gets *** hehe.. anyway.. yea. i would get it for my i30.. i love the gate shifter on my friends car.. but yea.. HOW IN THE HELL WOULD YOU PULL THAT OFF... also cause we have the shift lock where you have to hold the brake and press the button inorder to shift.. this mean you would have to eliminate the button.. and also at the same tiem figure out osme way to keep the gear from say.. going into reverse if i hit it will im goin like 55mph.. not a pretty sight... but hey if you do..
please let me know. .i will be 1st in line..

adding to the gated shifter

I tried making one this last year in machining class and it is a bit difficult to create the gates and still allow it to be a one-piece design...the curve going up the center was too tricky for me so it ended up being in two pieces and looks ghetto! I don't have any pics but what I was going fro would have been awesome! Gated shifters makes cars look fast no matter what engine they have! If you can do it I would definitely be interested! I was using aluminum with a SS insert where the gates would be....the SS would be rivited...Good luck and get some pics ASAP!!!!
