childstar hey bro I went ahead and bought a full race spec billet shifter today . I went ahead and got it because of this video and wanna tell you thank you for this video if it wasn't for you I wouldn't of bought one big ups to childstar and thank you for this review
Good review, K. Very fair considering you've had it 4 years and not 4 weeks lol. I remember when the K-Tuned shifter started popping up and I thought "it's either really good for drag racing or just bling for street cars", but I started reading up on it a little and now your review and I gotta say, I'm thinkin' about it. Thanks, man.
John Hayes yeah, I initially got it for the look and cnc build but then after using it I was happy with the purchase. I never really thought about durability but it has lasted over all this time and I'm always beating on the car and it still shifts great and I haven't broken anything.
bros I messed up I bought that k tuned fifth gear lockout and arm kit for the stock shifter and lately I been wanting the race spec shifter and cables. good video tho bro
Jason Jackson upgrading the stock box is a good choice though. great budget way to go about it and for drag only cars, it's a really worthwhile choice going that route. I daily drove for years so I wanted a beefy setup that I won't have to worry about ever.
Childstar bros u have no clue I'm the Vegas k tuned king lol I got like 16 k tuned parts on my car I seriously love that company I'm gonna put a sponsorship proposal together next month and send it to them and see wassup .
Car is so damn sick! May i ask if you removed your passenger airbags and srs wiring for that spoon steering wheel? I currently have an rsx wheel and a momo with nrg qd, but im debating so!
Naot tsaab my passenger airbag is still installed and my just my drivers bag removed. I have a Works Bell QRS and a normal WorksBell hub that gives you a bypass for the airbag to install. it keeps the airbag light from being on and your passenger airbag can stay functional if you want. NRG doesn't have these little extra additions with their quick release and hub systems.
Hey Childstar, thanks for the video it helped set my mind on the race spec shifter I also went and got the mtec springs to go along with the shifter. Just wondering what lube do you use for the shifter?
+Tasean Beckles if you ever feel you need to grease it, use a white lithium grease. It should be fine for a very long time right out the box. I only did mine because I'm kind of OCD.
I thought about exposing my shifter like this on my honda prelude. but I was going to have the same issues of dust and debris getting in it .so I ended up keeping the cover on
It's different when it comes to a factory shifter or even the regular ktuned billet shifter. I have the race spec version, there is no way it will fit under the stock shift boot. Only the regular no cut shifters and the standard ktuned rsx shifter will still under the oem shift boot and covers.
there is a big difference. I just wanted thr mechanics of the transmission exposed to give it a more racing feel. but I figured dirt and debris would eventually start falling down in there
Esteban Agüero thanks man. the navigation is a rare jdm right hand drive navigation unit. a friend of mine had it imported over and I bought it off of him. not too many of them around
cobratoxic I fully understand you, but still, I simply won't add parts that weren't specifically meant for my car. There's no type R coupe, and my car is a 96-98 which means there was never an Si version with the rear lip for my coupe. There is one oem optional lip, but I'm not concerned with some particular look besides completing the aero additions I want on the car which include a spoon diffuser to go with the spoon front lip and a full sized splitter. Adding aero parts at the moment is not a concern of mine. I'd rather focus on finishing the engine setup the way I want it.
+ivtecudont241 you won't find it anywhere, it's a rare discontinued part. I got it direct from them before production ended. Most people didn't even know they existed since everyone used the rapfix quick releases.
Childstar thanks for the reply bro ... subbed.. i like that design so much more than the rapfix .. immrunning an old school jdm dmax spline type quick release on mine
MrKeffo it's not something I just made up. It's a rare oem navigation unit from a right hand drive civic. yes it works, but I don't use it. I got it for how rare it is and for the appreciation of old school technology. Using the navigation in the US is pointless, it's not an up to date map, won't be in english, and very difficult to set up because you need all the pieces that didn't come with the American version of the civic.
I personally like the Hybrid Racing K swapped shifter. Ktuned to me feels too oem. Even on the closest settings it isnt close enough. I love the look of the Ktuned over the HR but function wise. I like HR more. Just my 2 cents. Everyones different
You can put it in any car if you can make it fit. There's been many random cars with one fitted to it, but no it's not designed to directly bolt into several cars. The rsx shifters are obviously designed specifically for the rsx and they just so happen to go into a few other chassis pretty easily. The no cut shifters are designed for just a few k swap chassis. Anything outside of that is a custom installation.
My Interior isn't black. It's the original dark gray interior. I did add black floor mats because the original gray ones are discontinued. Eventually I'll add some oem black carpet but I'll be keeping the dark gray interior panels and dash. Nothing has been dyed.
Nicee shifter looks strong aff and sexy, my stock shifter is so stiff and doesn't return to centre, I got the stock shifter replaced, new clutch and slave cylinder and same issue and tough on occasions to get into 1st and 2nd and reverse, any ideas what u think it is bro
This car with upgrades or a bmw 3 series? This will be my first project car build and I'm not rich either please let me know btw I already have a this Honda but it's a automatic I just got it. Should I upgrade to the max or get a bmw e46? Thanks....
+ApexRacer GT3 honestly either car is a good choice. It's all about what you want out of the car. Both have potential, both are expensive over time. Just go with your heart.
Childstar thanks for the reply! Is my Honda more reliable than a e46? That's what I really meant to ask. I want something that is easy to maintain after the upgrades. I'm a personal trainer on a budget lol!
+ApexRacer GT3 I would say yes it's more reliable and will be less expensive to fix if it were to break. Honda's are one of the cheapest types of cars to build.
Have you tried the Hybrid racing shifter? I have a HR Shifter in my K swapped and love hoe tight and short the throws are. I tried my friends Ktuned shifter and the throws didnt feel short to me. Not sure if his was on the shortest setting or not though
If you're referring to the base plate, then no, the base plates are sold separately because the shifter can be installed with or without the base plate.
+Double Clutch my civic. That's why I build one. It's more interesting to me to build and drive something that was never meant to perform versus an average car that was designed with performance as a main point unless it was a very high end performance vehicle.
+justn Edusada you can only make it worth with shifter cable transmissions. Won't worth with a shift linkage type transmission. Some H series people have used it
+joe hicks to stop 2nd to 5th shifts and so you can apply as much pressure to the right as you want when you shift and you won't miss going into 3rd and 4th.
+Carlos Lima the stereo IS the genuine rare Honda oem navigation unit from a right hand drive jdm civic. It's not just a frame. It's the real deal. Got it through an importer and a friend of mine.
+Carlos Lima here's a link to a picture I took of it before install. Complete jdm oem navigation unit. The remote that pops out is standard with it. m.flickr.com/#/photos/kschildstar/27955523111/in/search_QM_q_IS_navigation_AND_ss_IS_2_AND_prefs_photos_IS_1_AND_mt_IS_all_AND_w_IS_62328294@N06
+Gerardo Paez it comes with the hardware to install it properly. There's options as well. Like the shifter base plate. The base plate isn't necessary but if you'd like to not have to cut the exhaust tunnel, you can buy that plate as well. Only things you'd need to buy with this shifter are shifter cables, and a shift knob.
By following the instructions the same way race cars are done without a bar. No it's not on the damn floor like people think and talk about spinal issues.
You're going to have a tough time finding one, these are the rare RHD oem navigation climate controls. I've only ever come across 3 of them in the past 10 years or so. I'm sure someone might have one for sell somewhere, but you don't find them very often.
Jamal Allen I have the p1 limited version 2. I really like it. it's comfortable to me. only downside if I had to be picky is that it has a little bit of flex to it but much better than the original buddy club p1 seats or the first buddy club race spec seats.
ok cool . I want to buy a recaro pole position but its like a grand. not really feeling that the p1s are more affordable. so I might swing that way . thanks for your input
Jeremiah Sanchez I really like it. I had a buddy club race spec seat at first, and then this p1 limited version2. this one is very nice. more comfortable and lightweight. I'm very used to riding in a bucket seat, so I enjoy it. I daily the car with the buddy club bucket seat.
Childstar cool I was thinking about getting one for my z ,on jhpusa lol I know its mainly a honda site but that's where I would get my Honda parts before it was stolen lol
I ran the stock rsx shiftbox in my swap and that shit was straight GARBAGE. So much play between gears that it was just plain sloppy. I swapped in this race spec shifter and never looked back.
I will delete my comments. I'm sorry I was so racist against you. You being so humble despite my ignorance Is proof of how much I need to learn and grow.
I remember this coupe from the NWP day's..........glad to see that you still have it .......was always one of my favorites man.....
That Spoon Sports jacket 😍😍😍♥️👍
childstar hey bro I went ahead and bought a full race spec billet shifter today . I went ahead and got it because of this video and wanna tell you thank you for this video if it wasn't for you I wouldn't of bought one big ups to childstar and thank you for this review

I love the 5th lock out. Clean Civic by the way.
+RedLineBandits thank you!
Loving the content. Keep them coming! Feature cars would be dope and event coverage.
k20CRX1 yeah I'm definitely trying to get some other cars up on my channel.
definitely something for my rsx. I hate all the wobbling and sloppiness in the feeling of the stock shifter.
Good review, K. Very fair considering you've had it 4 years and not 4 weeks lol.

u have good taste in your civic everything looks good
+Clint Eastwood thanks man! I appreciate that

Your car is so cleaaaaaan. Mad respect man!
Thanks man
Badass video bro as always!
Great review! 👍🏽 keep up the good work
Now that's my kind of build ! Perfect civic in my eyes not this stance shit no offense to any stance people

Alex Escobar thanks man

Hey man, awesome videos and sick EJ! What's the radio or navigator that you have on the dash? next to the AC controls...
Thanks for the info man.
Esteban Agüero thanks man. the navigation is a rare jdm right hand drive navigation unit. a friend of mine had it imported over and I bought it off of him. not too many of them around
Fuego!🔥🔥🔥
Now that you have the front Lip and the sideskirts, Why you dont put the SI rear Lip? to finish the look.
cobratoxic because I don't have a Si and I'm not putting any 99-00 parts on my car. the rear will get a diffuser as well as a splitter for the front.
Childstar ok I anderstand in my country is call the ek type r body kit
cobratoxic I fully understand you, but still, I simply won't add parts that weren't specifically meant for my car. There's no type R coupe, and my car is a 96-98 which means there was never an Si version with the rear lip for my coupe.

Childstar thanks for the reply bro ... subbed.. i like that design so much more than the rapfix .. immrunning an old school jdm dmax spline type quick release on mine
+ivtecudont241 oh nice! I like the classic setups. Usually much better quality than some of the main stream stuff out there. Thanks for the sub man!
Let’s see what’s under the hood!
Wtf...I have a ton of videos showing what's under the hood even with detailed info on all the mods
What hub and lock is that for your steering wheel..thumbs up
+dannyb20 vtec it's a Checkerd Sports polished boss with a Works Bell QRS. The QRS is a discontinued item.
Childstar looks great bro
Love ur setup bro, new to the channel, what type of head unit or navigation are you running in your coupe
+Mon Cooper thanks man. That's an oem Honda navigation from a right hand drive civic.
hey man can you do a video for lowering springs for rsx s which types a good
A I'm moving to Houston soon haha Thursday to be exact I gotta few questions about a K24 swap I wanna do on an eg6 hatch
Child can you give some details about how you made this radio / nav setup? looks nice man
and does it work?
MrKeffo it's not something I just made up. It's a rare oem navigation unit from a right hand drive civic. yes it works, but I don't use it.

Can you put a ktuned shifter on any honda for example the s2000

The rsx shifters are obviously designed specifically for the rsx and they just so happen to go into a few other chassis pretty easily. The no cut shifters are designed for just a few k swap chassis. Anything outside of that is a custom installation.
is that an original radio that came in car? no right
That's the original radio from a rhd civic in my car. So it's oem but just not from my trim level.
is that interior original black or did u dye it
My Interior isn't black. It's the original dark gray interior. I did add black floor mats because the original gray ones are discontinued. Eventually I'll add some oem black carpet but I'll be keeping the dark gray interior panels and dash. Nothing has been dyed.
ur car Belongs in a super street magazine
circuitHero dc2 thanks homie
You have to buy those fancy shifter cables or can you keep the stock ones? I have a K20A in my RHD Integra
The ktuned shifter can use stock and their aftermarket race cables, so you're good either way
Can I use that shifter with a euro r transmission? I’m swapping a k20A euro r into my eg and I want to use it with billets cables
Yes
Ok thanks
What shift knob is that? Looks clean with it.
MishoMods thanks, it's a Spoon Sports aluminum shift knob.
hey child i saw your honda gps i was planning to install one just like that where is your's from
Eazy Lira mine is straight from japan. There's a lot of oem wiring from the rhd version to connect it up
Nicee shifter looks strong aff and sexy, my stock shifter is so stiff and doesn't return to centre, I got the stock shifter replaced, new clutch and slave cylinder and same issue and tough on occasions to get into 1st and 2nd and reverse, any ideas what u think it is bro
Could be dirt...cable bind...bushings...
Lots of things effect that return to center
@@ksisjdm thanks for reply, ima get it on ramp and check it out
Ballers shifter mode on
so this is like for the k swaped engines though right, not for any b series engine? anyone let me know
Yes this is a rsx shifter..... there's no shift linkage like a b series. This is cable driven
yeah I put that together after words XD thanks on the response doh
Is there any way to keep the cup holders
With this shifter... it's basically impossible to keep the cup holders. If you do keep them, they aren't actually usable.
This car with upgrades or a bmw 3 series? This will be my first project car build and I'm not rich either please let me know btw I already have a this Honda but it's a automatic I just got it. Should I upgrade to the max or get a bmw e46? Thanks....

Kinda vague, but yes. I had a hybrid shifter first. The no cut shifters aren't shit compared to the rsx style shifters from both companies.
Childstar Is your Ktuned shift in the shortest settings?
Yes but my upper arm isn't at the shortest.
would that shifter box fit a 07 accord sedan V6 6MT?
+marino Sanchez no. You use the accord shifter for an accord
Childstar aight bet
+marino Sanchez they have a specific one for accord/tsx
Can you use the stock shifter cables
Yes you can use stock shifter cables with this
does it come with the raiser piece that makes it sit higher
If you're referring to the base plate, then no, the base plates are sold separately because the shifter can be installed with or without the base plate.
@@ksisjdm ok cool just wondering
hey childstar, what would you prefer to drive a bmw m3 or your modified civic
+Double Clutch my civic. That's why I build one. It's more interesting to me to build and drive something that was never meant to perform versus an average car that was designed with performance as a main point unless it was a very high end performance vehicle.
could you run this with b d and h series? or is it only compatible with k series im planning on purchasing this shifter when i do my b20 swap
+justn Edusada you can only make it worth with shifter cable transmissions. Won't worth with a shift linkage type transmission. Some H series people have used it
thank you for the information
why wouldnt want 5th and 6th speeds available? to stop shifting 2nd to 5th?
+joe hicks to stop 2nd to 5th shifts and so you can apply as much pressure to the right as you want when you shift and you won't miss going into 3rd and 4th.
I guess at that point probably going fast enough...lol
+joe hicks it's meant for drag racing use. But I got one just for the hell of it.
What stereo is that and where did you get that Honda navigation frame?
+Carlos Lima the stereo IS the genuine rare Honda oem navigation unit from a right hand drive jdm civic. It's not just a frame. It's the real deal. Got it through an importer and a friend of mine.

Can you put one of these in a 91 crx? B series
You can make it work with cable driven transmissions. H series people do it all the time.
Hey man does it comes with everything to install it or you gotta buy it separated
+Gerardo Paez it comes with the hardware to install it properly. There's options as well. Like the shifter base plate. The base plate isn't necessary but if you'd like to not have to cut the exhaust tunnel, you can buy that plate as well.

Done turbo now ???
Could you use it on a 5 speed trans?
Yes sir, can definitely use a 5 speed or 6 speed with it
How did you put in the harness without a bar?
By following the instructions the same way race cars are done without a bar. No it's not on the damn floor like people think and talk about spinal issues.
Is there a video that will show me how to do that? I’ve been looking but u cant find anything
Probably not because it's extremely basic. Buy a harness and the instructions will show how to install with and without a harness bar.
where can I get that screen and controls? looks dope
You're going to have a tough time finding one, these are the rare RHD oem navigation climate controls. I've only ever come across 3 of them in the past 10 years or so. I'm sure someone might have one for sell somewhere, but you don't find them very often.
Childstar alright cool thanks for your reply ,whole set up is dope man keep it up enjoying the vids.
does this work with b/d swaps or just cable driven?
+Gerod Evans cable driven setups.
What radio is that?
Brandon Gonzalez it's a jdm navigation
What kind of hub is that
+mmeza620 Checkerd Sports EK boss
I was skipping 10s and landed on 4:37 💀
how's that buddy club pole position ?????
Jamal Allen I have the p1 limited version 2. I really like it. it's comfortable to me. only downside if I had to be picky is that it has a little bit of flex to it but much better than the original buddy club p1 seats or the first buddy club race spec seats.
ok cool . I want to buy a recaro pole position but its like a grand. not really feeling that the p1s are more affordable. so I might swing that way . thanks for your input
What steering wheel is that?
+L the steering wheel is a spoon sports generation 2 wheel, based on the Momo Monte Carlo wheel
What cables are you using?
Ktuned race spec cables
Awesome 👍 thanks for the quick response I will definitely like and subscribe
What brand is that gear knob
In this video it's a Spoon sports shift knob. I have a bunch of shift knobs.
how much
beast vid
+Alex Rogowski $450 for the base version, $550 for the race spec like mine without the 5th gear lockout. These are retail prices.
Car so clean i would eat off of it
will it fit the em2?
If you can fit a rsx shifter in one, then the ktuned shifter fits as well
how do you like your buddy club seat??
awesome vids btw
Jeremiah Sanchez I really like it. I had a buddy club race spec seat at first, and then this p1 limited version2. this one is very nice. more comfortable and lightweight. I'm very used to riding in a bucket seat, so I enjoy it. I daily the car with the buddy club bucket seat.
