As far as I know, the Watkins Manufacturing short throw shifter is very popular. I have one and I like it a lot. Its about a 30%+ throw reduction and there it doesn't make the shifts more notchy than it already is. A good thing to add when you do the STS is to replace the shifter bushings and spray em all down with white lithium grease.
thanks thats awesome, now will that have the reverse lever on it?
The reverse ring is unaffected because you don't actually modify or replace the shift stalk/rod. Let me just clarify. The STS for the 6 speed does not replace the shift rod with one of shorter length. It consists of a piece that goes over the shifter cable connector (under the hood) to shorten the throw distance, and another piece that centers the shift rod (under the shift rod, by the parking brake). The only way to reduce the length of the rod is by cutting it and re-threading so the knob can fit. It can be done, but IMO, it adversely affects the ergonomics of the shifter by making the knob too low since the existing height is perfect for where the arm rest is.

Click on my username and go to my homepage... list of stuff I've done is there.
The only cold air intake for the A33 is made by Place Racing/Cattman and I'm not sure if they even make those anymore. You could try contacting Cattman to check:
