I know it's been a long time coming but it has.
Here's two pics. If Izzy would only show up we might even get to test it. Are you there Izzy?? For a tease; the upper piece is SS while the bottom one is 4340 chrome moly. In production the 4340 will get black oxide treatment. I'll tell some more after testing. |
This will make many people happy.

This is what it looks like.
I need to make a couple of little tools so you don't have to run around looking or building stuff. There is a sleeve that goes on the shaft to contact the boot. I'll make those tomorrow. |
Are any of you who are waiting for this local to me?
Izzy is not making contact and I need an S2 for final fitting and DIY photos. |
^Busy with work. Saturday is the earliest that we have open. We are just as excited to get this finally fitted and installed. :bigok: Maybe tommorrow, but highly doubt it.

I have to tell you guys that I fell down on the job.
I mean I really FELL DOWN. I was carrying a rear iron down the driveway between two cars and I tripped. I tried to catch myself by running foward, that only added speed to the damage. I went dawn on my hands and face, there was carnage. My face is still swollen as my right hand, there was blood everywhere. So I've lost a week. You don't heal very quick when you get old, Check my picture, that was after a couple of days. Anyway the shifters are ready to be assembeled. There was one problem that I found just now. The shifter I madeled off of was one given to me by a factory race team a couple of years ago. That shifter had a Miata size bushing but was a Rx8 shifter. I made all the bushings that size. Last week I had Izzys shifter here when I was doing a Mx5 and switched them by accident, it woulden't go in. On inspection I found the larger bushing. I don't know when or why this change was made but I'm running all new bushings now. If anyone runs into this problem you'll know it because the shifter will not go in. I can change it for you. Although Izzys car is a 09 so the change must have taken place before S2 production started. All S2's will be shipped with the large bushing. Shipping should be in a couple of days. We will want to test a production part in Izzys car and I'm trying to get him now. |
Ouch! Looks painful.
Thank you for the update and use lots of antibiotic! |
tell the truth what did your wife catch you doing?

Well I don't have one of those anymore but if you mean my girlfriend it's not official. I fell is my story and I'm sticking to it. But if if makes anyone feel better the doctor doesn't even believe me.:wallbash: |
thanks for the update, best of luck with a speedy recovery.
Ive been looking forward to this product for the S2s because Ive been thinking about doing an S2 tranny swap, one more check box on the pro side of the argument. |
Any updates?
|
We did the final install on Izzy's car Sat and all went well. He took pictures and will do a DIY.
We had found something strange with the bushing but we made new ones and I'll be putting them together tomorrow and the next day. The S2's will then ship and the MX5 will take a few more days. Sorry for the delay but as I told you I haven't been able to work in fact yesterday was the first day I spent almodt a full day at work. My right hand is still swollen and hurts. Some scabs but my face has cleared up well. Almost. The parts are on the website now but pictures are late. Working on that too. |
Richard i am putting a 09' transmission in my o4' does this action make me a s2 for your shifter
|
yes
|
Will everyone who bought an S2 shifter please Email me your nome and the date that you paid for it. I want to be sure I'm not missing anyone. I think I have all of you but lets be sure. We will be shipping your shifter in the next few days.
|
email sent
|
Sweet, car's going back on the road next weekend, wont have to wait too long.
Is the DIY going to be on you site Richard? |
Waiting on Izzy to post the DIY. He took pictures so I guess I better bug him. Shifters should go out tomorrow.
|
can you please email me and tell me how to send my 147payment, which i owe after my payment of 150 to get inline, to paypal. pay pal says i cant use the address i use before
|
Did the shifters get sent out yesterday? if so, do we get tracking numbers or anything?
|
bump ...
|
are they ready to order
|
afaik they were ready to ship, haven't heard if they actually have though...
|
Getting absolutely frustrated that I made a payment nearly 5 months ago and have absolutely little to no information regarding the product, the shipment, the delivery, etc. I understand that there have been issues along the way, but as a paying customer, especially one that paid well in advance, I expect FAR BETTER communication.
Getting sick of these "end of this week" claims that never come to fruition. Richard, please update us. |
You've been mazsportscotted!
