Hands are supposed to be on the steering wheel, and that time that we spend with our hand on the shifter we lose 50% of our steering control! Thats why rally cars and whatnot have shifters very close to the wheel

Thats why rally cars and whatnot have shifters very close to the wheel | I see, I guess the original position of the knob is quite far from the driver? Never driven an EG before so I wouldn't know. Thinking of getting an EG after the Miata lol, always liked hatches!

I keep wanting to get a woodgrain Grip Royal or Nardi but I got used to the small wheel already. Just feels too good. Just that sometimes I can't see how fast I'm going cuz it's in the way of the cluster
Is it weird when shifting since the shifter is closer to you compared to stock though? | Well... I don't know if retarded is exactly what i mean but imho, (And again with opinions, We can all have them) it looks just plain bad. If you like it though, keep it.
