Ok as I stated this morning I collected from the post office the C's Short Stroke Shift Kit. The good part is that I did not pay any custom charges. :lol: I took a couple of pics to show you all how it looks. As you can see it is very similar with the TRD quick shift.

Yes mate, very pleased. The quality looks to be very good. I cannot compare it 100% with the TRD since I have never seen a TRD kit (or other short shift) live.

Today i visited my mechanic to fit the Tanabe four point front brace and the C's Short Shift. Initially we installed the brace. It was straight forward job. Very easy to install. Only negative point i can say is that the plastic OEM cover could not be fitted after the new brace installation due to the design of the Tanabe brace. If I wanted to have also the plastic cover i should need to cut some edges. I preffered to have it without the plastic cover. I cannot tell you yet the handling improvements since i did not test at any good corners. First impression is that the car behavior has not changed during normal driving. Here are some pics.

And now the most interesting part. The C's Short Shift kit. The installation of this part was also very easy. Once I fitted I took for a quick ride. The conclusion??? F A N T A S T I C!!!!!! The kit is awsome. Fantastic feeling, vey short strokes, no noise (at any gear change or at any speed, like having an OEM installed) and not a lot of effort to change gears (it is a bit more hard to change gears, about 10% more force is required to be applied on the shifter). Finally it is very easy to put in reverse gear, no tricks no special treatment. So it like having an OEM shifter with much much smaller strokes during gear changes. The feeling? Fantastic,great! It makes you want to change gears all the time. I think I will never want to change back to OEM. I drove approximately 100km (60 miles) today in traffic and also at open roads and i was satisfied in all conditions. During quick changing the shifter does not stuck but it strokes very easily! So great kit to buy if someone does not want to buy a TRD short shift or any other option in the market. The only disadvantage is that probably you must look in the Japan market (rhdjapan.com) or at USA. I have recorded the strokes of the OEM and the C's to so you the difference of the two shifters. Once I have prepared the video i will upload and post it. Here are some pics for start.
