Ebay short shifters now with pics and install review

Anyone know about any of these shifters?

J-Spec
Findaza
Auto-Dynasty

Looks like a B&M but its ~$50 or less shipped. Anyone have any experience with any of these? I have already tried the B&M and liked it. If this is the same thing why not save some more $$.

I know alot of people like the TWM and Kartboy, bit I dont care enough to pay for them I would just like something a little shorter. This isn't a race car and I don't need a shifter like one.

one thing to remember w/ performance parts on ebay...you get what you pay for
 
Except the ebay intakes. I love mine. 3 years and counting! K&N filter too, of course.

Shifters, go with the B&M if you want a B&M.
 
yeah I was gonna say that, but its a given LOL you cant get metal piping wrong

intakes can be tuned to reduce sound and gain optimal horsepower through-out the power band....unlike most which are noise makers. so really you can get metal tubing wrong, i know it might only be a 1-3 hp gain on the protege but on highly tuned cars intakes that are properly tuned for that motor can produce gains as much as 20+hp.

I would love to see an intake giving the P5 20 HP. The line would be long.
 
Yeah I know the B&M is proven. But I am looking for experience with any of these. I mean honestly with mass production I personally think that its probably the same shifter. But I know I can be a moron sometimes.. looking for personal experiences to see if I am right. I searched on here found nothing... I have also thought about cutting down my shifter, and extending the bottom of it.. I can do that for free with just a little time and a welder (which I have)..
 
I have the B&M. I am tall, not wanting to lean over to shift. It is fantastic. With a weighted shift knob and Kartboy bushings, it is perfect. I can fit large drink cups in the holders now. It is an awesome shifter.

Thats funny.. that is one of my biggest complaints... also mine is an 02 and the shallow cup holders suck... thought about getting an 03 pc.
 
i have an ebay shifter, one of the first ones to show up - about two years old now. love it.
 
Well I decided to give it a try. 45$ shipped with a billet knob. I will take some pics and give a review once it comes in. I am sure its not as nice as the B&M, Kartboy etc.. but for less than 1/3 the price I am taking a gamble on it.
 
I have an integra shifter in mine A lot cheaper on e-bay. It's easy to install and I love it! Just which it was lower but I can fix that.
 
I have the J-spec short shifter and it is the best thing I've done yet which include rear strut tower bar, Kuhma Ecsta tires, Ebay muffer, Kartboy bushings and every cheap mod in the how-to section. The stock shifter felt like something out of a truck. Get it you'll love it. Get the Kartboy bushings and you'll love it even more!
 
Ebay shifter here... no issues, it's solid metal so it's hard to screw up. Plus my shifter came with it's own pivot, i didn't need to use the crappy stock ones.

my opinion, save the money...
