Shifter cable bushings: https://acuityinstruments.com/collections/10th-gen-honda-civic-2016-2017/products/shifter-cable-bushing-upgrade-for-various-2007up-hondas

Hmmm. @ACUITY posts today, but doesn't mention the new POCO shift knob+boot retainer in the "official launch" thead? $89 gets you a metal ball-type shifter in either black or red - I think red would look good in a Type R. I think that the cool thing about POCO is that it lowers the shift...

The stiffer spring of the full shifter gives me dead certain 1->2, 2->3 and 3->4 up-shifts, at the expense of having to be deliberate with 4->5 upshift (to avoid making a 4->3 downshift by mistake). Similarly, dead certain 5->4, 4->3, and 3->2 downshifts at the expense of having to be deliberate...

Very nice launch video :headbang:

ACUITY released a promo video, "Why we make car parts," that also teases very early development of their FK8 Intake. Skip ahead to 7:50 - 9:15 for just the intake bit.

PSA: shifters now back in stock, although the full stage 3 kits are not as the ESCO knobs have not been restocked yet AFAIK. Kevin Boehm's review (sponsored):

AFAIK, that isn't possible.

First episode is up:

Yes, but one can get past the existing (good) threads without cutting them with the greater tolerance of a re-threading die. It isn't like the die is made with softer metal so a re-threading die will cut just fine; and minimal strength is needed so the threads do not have to be full depth.

I used a re-threading die, a.k.a., thread-restoring die. Links and pics in post #2 above.

Oooo, I gotta get one. Oh wait :D. Canadians: Best price on the shifter is no doubt teknotik.com https://shop.teknotik.com/acuity-10th-gen-civic-fully-adjustable-performance-short-shifter.html I just checked with teknotik and they do have the shifter in stock. No affiliation with Teknotik.com...

Canadians! teknotik.com has 15% off of ACUITY products with coupon code: “BLACKFRIDAY15″ :headbang:

No MSRP has been posted. For comparison, the ninth-gen shifter is a little over $400 but does not include base bushings, but the tenth-gen will include shifter-specific base bushings (AFAIK) ... so my totally-uninformed guess is that the new shifter will cost more than ninth-gen. However...
