BigTDogg MA Posted September 25, 2014 Share Posted September 25, 2014 I don't want to reduce the height substantially, maybe an inch max. But I want a shorter throw. Searching gives me a phone book and I'm ordering today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigTDogg MA Posted September 25, 2014 Author Share Posted September 25, 2014 Oh yeah, and is there a braided stainless clutch line for a 2005 LGT? Can't find one specifically for the LGT, but maybe we can use a WRX one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrymesGT Posted September 25, 2014 Share Posted September 25, 2014 i bought my car and it came with a kartboy, havent had any problems with it and its much quicker/smoother to shift and pick a gear than when ive driven my buddys 06 obxt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Capacity Posted September 25, 2014 Share Posted September 25, 2014 Cobb or Kartboy = same quality Pick one. Years back I talked to Trey Cobb about this, he told me the same thing. 305,600miles 5/2012 ej257 short block, 8/2011 installed VF52 turbo, @20.8psi, 280whp, 300ftlbs. (SOLD).

BigTDogg MA Posted September 25, 2014 Author Share Posted September 25, 2014 Kahtboy it is then, this build is creeping like an old dude with aviators and a mustache. Any stainless braided clutch line we can use? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NewLegGT67 Posted September 25, 2014 Share Posted September 25, 2014 The Cobb is adjustable. You can make it really low on the Cobb. I'm probably the only person that has Wu-Tang Clan and Paul McCartney on their mp3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SBT Posted September 25, 2014 Share Posted September 25, 2014 There's several WRX SS Clutch Lines that don't work because they're too short. Need to check fitment. The Cobb DASTS is nice (actually made by Mode Racing) here in the U.S., but the physical construction means you'll likely have to clearance the shifter surround to enable full engagement in some of the gears. You can't go wrong with the KB STS though - just not vertically adjustable like the Cobb DASTS. - Pro amore Dei et patriam et populum - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Capacity Posted September 25, 2014 Share Posted September 25, 2014 If you have the old line and can measure it, have any Hydrolic shop make you up a line. Any place that fix's big equipment will know how to do it, may be some of the old auto parts stores will know where to get it done.

BigTDogg MA Posted September 26, 2014 Author Share Posted September 26, 2014 Ah, good call on the local shop. I've got a high pressure power steering line for my Z32 which i need converted to SS as well. I'll bring that to them with the clutch line. Kartboy it is. Just felt my OEM shifter and I could stand for it to be a bit lower, but definitely don't want the chode stubby shifter. Thanks guys! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moddiction Posted September 26, 2014 Share Posted September 26, 2014 I went with the Kartboy and been really happy with it for a year and a half now! Short shifter is a must do mod on this car though. Stock shifter feels terrible!! We have a few of them in stock if interested. $107.25 shipped.

BigTDogg MA Posted September 26, 2014 Author Share Posted September 26, 2014 OK, what about the Torque Solutions shifter? Anyone have input on that? I like it because it's made in the USA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moddiction Posted September 26, 2014 Share Posted September 26, 2014 Torque solutions is the same as the Kartboy I believe. I think they just copied the Kartboy.

NewLegGT67 Posted September 26, 2014 Share Posted September 26, 2014 Also don't forget the bushing when upgrading to a STS. I'm probably the only person that has Wu-Tang Clan and Paul McCartney on their mp3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhitter Posted September 26, 2014 Share Posted September 26, 2014 I have had kartboy on my car for 3 years now. No issues at all. I replaced the front shifter bushing when I installed it and finally got around to doing the rear shifter bushing a few weeks ago. I highly recommend both bushings. I can't comment on the cobb as I haven't tried it. My OBXT build Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spritefiend Posted September 26, 2014 Share Posted September 26, 2014 I'm a kartboy fan so on my 3 subaru's i've used them. a friend of mine ended up with the cobb, and it was very impressive too. don't think you can go wrong either way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigTDogg MA Posted September 28, 2014 Author Share Posted September 28, 2014 Thanks everyone, I went with the Kartboy. The Torque Solutions price is tempting, but I don't do knock-offs, even if it's made in the USofA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
