1G-specific RoadSurge Manual Shift Box for Automatic DSM's, Freakin Sweet!!

So I saw one of EagleTalonTim's posts about this fancy new shift box that he was making, it definately looked to be more modern and have a ton more available features then what I was currently using so I decided to give it a shot, shoot being only $165 made it pretty much impossible to pass up.

After payment was made Tim was very prompt to get me a tracking number and keep me updated, this is something that definately gets a thumbs up from me.

So I finally got around to installing it yesterday and I am Super happy with it. The packing was great, the instructions were clear and explained everything very in detail. For my car I dont have a tcu so there were 4 wires in total to wire in, the power, ground, solenoid A and solenoid B. I also opted to use the external jack and use the buttons on my steering wheel to shift up and down, another interesting thing about this box is the option to hook it up to a shift light for automatic shifts at whatever RPM the shift light goes on at, the instructions explained all of the options very well. I now have it set up so my right button shifts up and the left button shifts down. After I was all done I went for a test drive and everything worked perfectly! It truly has made the car a BLAST to drive and now when at the track I will be able to keep both hands on the wheel.

Another thing that was interesting was even with the steering wheel buttons hooked up I could still use the buttons on the shift box and the box itself is equally as nice to shift with.

All in all I could not be happier with my purchase, and I will be getting out to the track very soon here to set some records!!! Thanks Tim for making a great product!!!

Here are a couple pics from the install:
