First off, that's way too complicated for him, it has two levers to pull. Look how much trouble he got himself into with just one lever.

Secondly, are you saying my recommendation isn't sporty? It's a honda hatch by god!!!

At least these levers are intended to be pulled while driving..

And with the Honda... much too dangerous if that vtec kicks in....

Hopefully its not a similar waiting time as it was with juan's accident that took months. If that's the case damn you just kissed your summer in a Nismo Z goodbye.
