Are you installing a K-Series power plant into your Civic or Integra and NOT want to see a big plastic shifter box in the middle of your console? Do you really want to remove your dash and drill a hole in your firewall for shifter cable routing? If not, then how about trying the ONLY solution available that provides a clean install of an RSX style shifter box. The Karcepts Shifter Mounting Kit can be installed in just a couple of hours, maintains all interior trim (center console & cup holders), places the shifter shaft in the stock factory position, avoids cutting into the firewall, and retains genuine OEM Honda function and reliability!
Obviously, an RSX shifter box will not fit under any Civic or Integra console, so here is how it works:
1. Use the pre-engineered template to guide you into cutting the center of your chassis tunnel. To ease the consumer, the installation instructions provide a procedure that enables confirmation of proper fitment of the mount before any cutting is performed.
2. Attach RSX shifter cables (Base & Type S cables are identical) to an RSX style shifter box (neither included). Then bolt the shifter box to the Karcepts Shifter Mounting Kit. All hardware is provided with the kit to secure the shifter box to the mount; however, you will need to obtain the appropriate Honda/Acura hardware to fasten the cables to the shifter box and transmission.
3. Mount the assembly to the chassis and reinstall the console for that stealthy factory look.
4. The shape of the Karcepts Shifter Mounting Kit mates the exacting contours of your chassis tunnel within millimeters. For a completely sealed and worry free enclosure, use the supplied high temp silicone sealant to fill in any gaps or crevices. The sealant will prevent exhaust heat from transferring into your cockpit, eliminate any moisture or condensation, and inhibit any air noise or draft.
5. Lastly, run the cables under the chassis, into the engine bay, and attach them to an RSX or EP3 transmission and enjoy.
This design also avoids any exhaust interferences when the factory exhaust height is maintained. Clearances between the bottom of the Shifter Mounting Kit and the top of most exhausts have been observed to be around 1.5 inches.
The RS coilover system is a 36 way dampner and rebound adjustable monotube full coilover system. The setup has seperate height and preload adjustments allowing for optimal adjustment and allowing full strut travel at all times along with pillowball upper mounts or top mounts*. Mounts are constructed of 6061 powder coated aluminum. Threads are teflon coated to prevent rust. Rebuildable and serviceable in the US.
allows for ample hood clearance on ’88-’00 Civics and ’90-’01 Integras with K-series engine swaps, as well as additional core support clearance on ’02-’05 Civic Sis.
avenging effects at the engine’s ideal operating range, which allow for a broad increase in usable power.
