1 Rule: installing 4bidden shortshift - Honda Prelude Forum

mtbprelude · 01-25-2004, 02:31 PM

The 4 bidden short shifter needs to have a surgeon general warning on it:

1)DO NOT go to a buffet before attemopting to install this piece of equipment, severe gastro-intestinal distress will occur. 2) Prompt addiction to extremely short throw, "race," setting is expected, 3) This product is known to cause abandonment of spouses/ significant others, other dependents/responsibilities and excessive tire wear.

I may have come late to the 4bidden for president campaign, but he got my vote. Thank you Jeremy!

Tru dat!!! My girl is just pissed in general! I spend entirely too much time either working on both of my cars or shmoozing this site!

I'm still going to buy one some day, considering Jeremy's still producing them.

btw, why would you rally a Prelude? Just curious, not flaming.

I love my 4bidden SS too!!! still havent tried the Race setting, I'm afraid I'll get hooked.

I thought I'd regret hacking up the plastic on the inside of my console for race setting, but damn its worth it!!

You guys are nuts....

but you just made my day.

I'm out in the garage right now workin on some stuff

4bidden- You working on that radiator shroud?? I'm getting in early this time. A friend of mine wants a shifter for his car (VW GTi) I told him to buy a 4th gen...

Azjs- You had to cut something on your console to mount it in the race position? I currently have no shift boot, but its about 1/2 inch away, so once the MOMO boot arrives...I'll see.

Preyluder - Why not rally a Prelude? No flame taken, I had just bought the car tried a few rally-x's, since I dropped the car via Neuspeed Sport Springs and Koni Yellow's it doesn't go anywhere but Auto-X and school... I'm a huge rally fan: My boy Seb Loeb just won Monte this weekend.

are 4bidden shifters those ones i heard about a year or so ago that are bad ass? if so how much do they cost, and how available are they? also has anyone heard about avid racing coming out with solid shifter linkage? is it any good? would it work with the 4bidden shifter? anyone comments would be greatly appreciated.

4bidden · 01-26-2004, 09:12 AM

It is not possible to have a solid linkage in our cars. The linkage curves all over the place, the cable inside a plastic sleeve is about as solid as possible.

4bidden (jeremy) makes them, he's the sole proprietor of the SS kit, so whenever they're available you'll be hearing from him.

4bidden · 01-26-2004, 02:19 PM

^^^ They're always available.

Well from the outside you can't see anything that has changed... just the plastic frame you staple the oem shift boot to is been chopped up lol

Oh, well now THAT, I did not know... you sir, will be hearing from me in about a month or two. Gotta pay a DWI off first, then get a couple bolt-ons, then I'm going straight to you.

laughin2.2 · 01-26-2004, 11:22 PM

What colors can you do? I saw the sp00m blue and the Goonmetal on your site. Can you do just a straight glossy black finish?

4bidden · 01-26-2004, 11:36 PM

Check PM....I have 2 that I can do custom any color you'd like, price will be a bit more though.

rybred · 01-27-2004, 09:29 PM

very tempted to try this race setting now...i didn't do it cause i thought if f*cks up your tranny....can anyone verify this?

anyways...it would probably take like 2 years of hard shifting to f*ck your syncros up, wouldn't it?
