Yeah i just saw the price, $99 on showstoppers, but yeah, doesn't even look close to the buddy club one. So why is the buddy club so much better? The neuspeed one had some good reviews.

(I've never had a short shifter before) lol.

the buddy club short shifter is a whole complete shifter while compared to the neuspeed one it is just a little piece that bolts up to your stock shifter. i heard it's not as great. i've driven eps with the bcss and the neuspeed one. by far the bcss feels better than the neuspeed one from experience. that's just my two cents

Yeah that's what i thought just by the picture. Makes sense. Great now i gotta buy this before i cant get it at all. Oh and btw is that your gf in your avatar? If so good job lol. I keep seeing that pic and thinking, maybe that's you but then i'm like wait, can't be lol. Anyways... that's a little off the subject. :mconfused: Buddy club here i come! Gotta make some calls.

I dunno, kinda doubtful anyone is going to spend R&D time/money on the EP3. We're discontinued by five years now, the aftermarket support has moved on. :mcry:
I'd say best bet if you want a real short shift is to keep eyes on the Classifieds here, ebay, and your local Craigslist.
Other than that, you're probably SOL.

So sad BCSS are discontinued :( This is/was an awesome mod and really well built. I had a shortshifter on my last car and putted one on my EP3 as my first mod. This totally makes the difference in shifting. You could include shifter and tranny bushing with this and it will be a blast! btw I beleive in the myth that BCSS with bushing reduce the infamous grinding of our EP3 :P

cough cough, maybe inlinefour, cough cough, or some website that it cost $200.

forget it. someone beat me to it.

News is that the company making them requires 500 minimum production, but only about 40 were interested, so they don't plan to run production. However, they are negeotigating.

very unlikely. but it's worth a shot.

any other BCSS owners think that the SS is nothing more than just a shorter OEM unit w/ a BC hologram sticker?

AKEP
10-24-2010, 11:07 PM
i actually always wondered if it had longer ...arms? where the cables connect to? thats the only way i could think they made it fit.

BeaterEP
11-01-2010, 06:27 AM
Hmm...I think it's more than just a shorter height or longer cable mounts. I seem to remember some of the bends being different throughout when I had my OEM and BCSS side by side during install.
In other words, I'm pretty sure that there are differences throughout the design, not just a simple shorter column or longer mounting point.
:shrug:

AKEP
11-01-2010, 05:03 PM
u know what, i bet the dimentions are the same, but the way it works on the inside, it moves the arms more so its like a SS. hmmmm INTERESTING =]

matt2002si
11-01-2010, 08:46 PM
The BCSS was one of my favorite mods that I had on my EP & the Neuspeed adapter couldn't hold a candle to it. There is no replacement for full replacement. The same holds true for my current car('07 FA5). I first bought the Comptech SS adapter followed by the USDM Mugen full replacement SS & now have the JDM Mugen full replacement SS.

You know how sometimes we have a problem going into reverse. So I have to let go of the clutch, push it back down, and try again. Well, I wasn't in my best mood, and it wouldn't go into reverse.....so I decided to vent my frustrations and tried to slam it in. I slammed it and I suddenly felt the shifter move around like I was stirring a big pot with a spoon.

In picture:

Moral of the story, don't try to slam the shifter in reverse.

amazon didnt charge my card yet

so now onto searching for a used bcss

You know how sometimes we have a problem going into reverse. So I have to let go of the clutch, push it back down, and try again. Well, I wasn't in my best mood, and it wouldn't go into reverse.....so I decided to vent my frustrations and tried to slam it in. I slammed it and I suddenly felt the shifter move around like I was stirring a big pot with a spoon.

Moral of the story, don't try to slam the shifter in reverse.

Update on this, went to a hobby store and picked up glue that they use to glue tires to the RC cars, supposed to be really good with plastic and rubber. I glued the part back on and let it sit for a day. Attempted to put the shifter back and noticed, after bolting in, that the part that holds the cables at the bottom was cracked and bent, no clue when that happened. Took it out and glued that part straight. Few days later the short shifter goes back in. I became a pro by how many times Ive taken it in and out. Been close to a month now with the short shifter back in and it's running great!! Before I put it back in I pulled on the parts i glued hard and they didn't budge at all. I'm happy again, felt like I was driving a truck with the stock shifter back in. :mbiggrin:

I wonder if it would function properly, due to the fact that the type r is RHD.

the shifting configerations 1- 6 and reverse are the same. The shifter is also located in the same location on the dash. So it should work for sure!

I've been looking around for the details on it's "revision," whether or not the part #'s still the same and/or a price...
I'm done spending so much time on it though.. I'm broke anyway.. Eff it!

I'm having a problem with mine. Installed it today with corsport shifter base bushing and cable bushing. The bushings are find and made a big difference...the problem is the shifter itself. It won't go to neutral position by itself. Like when I come to a stop I take it out of gear and let it sit and it automatically springs into the center position. I checked the shifter spring and that is fine. It turns out the big pivoting ball itself is very stiff and the shifter cable delrin white bushings are very tight on the ball. I'm hoping a very hot day will loosen them up or maybe even apply some heat with a heat gun.

x3...i dont see anything wrong with it not going into neutral by itself?

when you pull it out of gear, it centers...in the middle thats exactly what its suppose to do...

maybe your old shifter was so worn that you think the new is messed up?
