Anyone running Type R Shifter assembly with Acuity Stage 2 shift kit?

[rhino]

thanks man im soooooo excited to throw all this shit on paired w esco shifter lol

when I had my 2018 si and when i first got my 2020 I always thought stock shifter was good. Then I got a new job and was forced to drive in a lot more traffic combined with some really tired mornings

started noticing the slop a lot more and notchiness and it started getting more tiring to row through gears consistently

what happened to the 18?

my dad has a long time friend at honda

he got us a really good deal pre covid to switch over, all the upgrades were extremely worth it to me for the price I paid

yeah brodi the headlights were a big reason for me switching, costs an arm and a leg to get them from honda D:

but yeah I wish it didn't have it either but I guess it's a nice option to have in terms of resale value (also my insurance was a tiny bit cheaper) I run a window banner so none of that even works for me anymore

Here's a quick video I made to demonstrate the 2020 type-r shifter with acuity stage 2 upgrades... gives you a pretty good idea of the result:

Thanks for this bro!! Looks real easy to shift and precise, just picked up my assembly on saturday and getting the acuity parts on wednesday.

How long it take you for the install?

How long it take you for the install?

It took me longer than it should have... disassembly takes way more time then re-assembly. I was trying really hard not to break anything but still ended up breaking 1 tab that holds a wire connection. Overall I would say 4 hours??? But I split it up between 2 days so didn't keep an exact time.

Watch the acuity video on youtube for install, they are really helpful. And make sure you have a pick set... absolutely required for all the tiny clips you have to push. Here's a pick of install before putting interior back in:

I made a video about it here

I tried all three, Stage 1, 2 and Full Drop-In.
In the video I discuss how they compare.

I hope it helps

^that's a sharp shift knob!
I think I looked at those, it's weighted and cost close to $200 right? can't recall the brand.

Thanks for this! High quality video, I've come across your videos before actually

I'm glad I went with my choice, I feel that I made the right decision. Going to install everything Thursday with my buddy and will be sure to report back my first thoughts on it

Installed last night and absolutely in love with it, very little play and shifts are muthafuckin CRISP. Just feels good to shift.

Me and my buddy knocked it out in like 1.5 hours, wasn't too bad and it also convinced him to get the same setup after he drove mine hahah

Realizing I don't really like the acuity esco knob though, the shape of it is great but it's a bit too light for me so I'm probably going to try and sell it, much prefer weighted knobs

You have the white insulated ESCO? If so, they are demanding a bit of a premium since you can't get them right now.

unfortunately not, if I managed to get the white one I probably would've kept it because it looks so damn good

I got the black one
