Talking Any good recommendation on Shift **** for my FC?
I want to replace my stock one so any brand recommendation will be great. I want to get some authentic stuff and will not buy from ebay because they lie sometimes. A good picture of your interior would be great using a aftermarket shift **** and also provide me a link where I can purchase it.

thanks and have fun with your FC!!!!!!

I have the Razo weighted ball shifter, and it's about the best I've ever used.

I have a Mazdaspeed Protege **** in my S5. It's fantastic. I'm getting ready to try out the old Mazdaspeed **** (not the leather one rx7.com sells). From the looks and fitmet it will be nice but I don't think it's very heavy.

Pics below

Anodized aluminum. The rotor is etched in to reveal bare aluminum. Too smooth to do a 1-2 finger shift like I could in my last RX-7. Otherwise there's nothing especially good or bad about it.

I dont like metal ones, they get hot and burn- and if your hand is wet/ sweaty at all it can slip while shifting quickly. I prefer the rx-8 know, as it also has a nifty "glowing" pattern on it. the color of the gauges and such- It looks really cool, fits clean and brings a bit of updating to the interior.

I have the Razo RA117 shift **** and I think its nice. I also agree on getting a heavy shift ****. It just feels better while shifting.
