  • One of the first modifications I do with my cars is the Short Shifter. Getting more connected with the car and the driver controls is something that I strongly suggest when you are first getting to know a new car. Overall I am more than happy to do!

    That second wiring harness was a backup camera install harness. I installed the Honda Fit backup camera on my Frs. This is the universal one that was from the 86 forum DIY.

    I installed mine a few months ago. Lived with it for 10k or so. Really did not like the feel until I added the rear bushing and front carrier bushing. it really cleaned up shift feel. Solid thunk when engaging gears and zero slop.
    I ended up swapping back to the OEM shifter but kept the bushings. Wasn't a fan of the feel compared to stock. Now shifts are light and easy with very little slop, just from the OEM bushing where it connects to the shift rod.

    Not hating, because I've done it, but maybe the 'kid' that owned it before you thought he was an electrician. My first car (2000 dodge neon) looked like a damn spaghetti factory. Now that I know better, my wiring looks soooooo much better. Also I absolutely hate those marker lights on the FRS/BRZ. I do collision repair and more often than not I completly forget those have to come off in order to take the front bumper off. Great video as always, keep up the good work. Wooooo!!!!
