Are the shifters that are with Hymee the upgraded ones 2nd batch , were RP altered his shifter ???

I believe that he changed the Delrinpolymer pivot box ??

How can one tell the difference between the 1st and the altered 2nd lot .?

cheers

6 mins....

maybe i should bring my camera with 6min of type :p

nothing is challenging 'mez anymore hehe:D

i ll give you a call when i receive the shifter

 

Yes, they are the upgraded ones. I don't know how to tell the difference b'ween the two ATM, but I can assure you Hymee is getting (or has) the latest and greatest. Emails from Richard confirm this.

I received my short shifter on Wednesday...and installed it within 15 minutes of receiving it. It rocks!!!..I also have a stainless braided clutch cable and this combination makes shifting bullett proof and 100% accurate with no slush..;...whooohoooo!@

 

L&L you will get to see the difference between the two because gomez has an old one and is getting the replacment part. You will see the only difference is a larger OD.

We need your pic skills for the demo :D

I installed mine last night. Nice piece of work. Shifts are now much more direct.
I broke the clip taking the panel off the second time (Forgot to screw in the ashtray the first time). Oh well, I'm an idiot.

Shailoche - was the SS clutch line a big improvement?

 

hmm quick question...how hard is it to install a clutch line..i hoe you don't have to drop the tranny for this ( i doubt it but i'm new to anything involving a transmission)

 

Seems pretty easy.

I also believe the brake and clutch fluids use the same reservior - so if you plan on doing both, do them at the same time.

 

oo not bad at all...looks a hella lot easier than working on an M9 A.C.E. and i can do the latter in my sleep. thanks for the find 8is>enuff.:D

edit: where are you at i n jersey by the way? i used to date a girl up there

 

Central Jersey. Colts Neck to be exact.
I date a girl in Jersey too. :D

 

Just Put My Short Shifter In. Love It Love It Love It!

Thanks Rp! Good Product.
Gomez, Your Picts And Diy Helped So Much, Thanks.;

 

I hope it's the same girl. (She'll go out with any guy with an Rx8.)

Your welcome Rudy, you have the only one in 'Zoo.

 

Sweet

 

Ouch. Well, what can I say, she has good taste. :D

I also forgot to thank Gomez for the nice DIY.
The gears are so close now. It makes me want that lighter flywheel I've been looking at. Does anyone have both? I'd like to see how well the quicker shift action works with one.

 

Philodox or however he spells it. It's Jon, of the runaway thread fame. He has both. You can ask hoim but he had the flywheel first so might not be able to tell you what you want to know. That is the difference.

 

rp????

did you get my loot, kinda thought it would get to you on sat.

Strewth swoope, you were high up on the list......what took ya so long??!!

 

i just missed the first batch. and was on vacation so wasnt in a hurry. works out well for me i am going to have the car all ripped apart to put in a nav tray. 10" airpanel monitor, carputer, xm my fi and i hope to god the overload output comes soon.

btw, the new gamin gps 10 bluetooth is stunning.

I DO. I HAVE THE SR FLYWHEEL AND UNDERDRIVE PULLEYS...THE FLYWHEEL MADE A BIG IMPRESSION ON ME. I IMMEDIAGTELY FELT LIKE THE ENGINE WAS LIGHTER AND SPOOLED UP FASTER. ALTHOUGHT THERE IS NO NET HP GAIN, IT FEELS LIKE THERE IS, ESPECIALLY DOWN LOW.

WENT OUT WITH THE WIFE LAST NIGHT AND SO ENJOYED MY NEW SHORT SHIFTER. SOMEONE DESCRIBED IT AS HAVING A DIRECT RIFLE-LIKE ACTION. THAT IS THE MOST ACURATE DESCRIPTION I HAVE HEARD SO FAR. ITS WONDERFUL! DO BOTH!

 

I haven't gone to the PO box yet since thursay. I'll go today, if they even have the door open on sunday. You did send it to my PO right?

 

Got your bread swoope. I have a unit packed and ready, just need to put a label on it. It will go out tomorrow.

 

cool,

thanks rp.

beers

 

I've gotten a few PM's saying they can't find the price in the forum. I thought I did that but it might have been on another thread. It is also funny that this thread has begun to lead again as the other one is shorter?

Anyway, the cost is $249.00 plus $12.00 S&H in the lower 48. Calif customers pay 8.25 tax

They are on the shelf and going fast. I don't think we will allow them to run out. This time I'll start the production run sooner. I can't promise anything though as it is before lunch on Monday and I have sold four already.

 

I posted the price on the DIY thread last week!! Tell 'em to do a bleedin' search, Richard.......
