There seems to be some new interest in the S2 shifters lately and a new batch has been produced. For the rest of the year a $30 rebate is available on the forum.
This is not offered on the website so if you order one you'll need to email me and we will refund the $30 direct. There have been many improvements over the years in this unit and just to keep up this last batch has a stiffer spring added to the lock out. This should help the vibration problem seen on some cars.

 

I'll be putting in an order near the start of the year for 3 of these.

 

Shikna Poawal, I can't find the thread where we talked. It may have been Email or here. But I recieved your shifter and it had too many problems
To bother with. It's too old for me to remember. Problem solved I just sent you a new one. Nobody can say we don't take care of our product.

 

I think I may have to take the dive on your short throw shifter for my new-to-me ABM R3...... I'm spoiled by the Mazdaspeed and C's short throw shifters in my FD RX-7s, stock won't cut it!

 

I recently picked up a new to me R3. Still offering the discount?

 

Still available, I'll put your name on one. Can get it out today if you like. Lucky you to find an R3 nowadays'

For what I went thru to get this car, I wasn't lucky...I was resilient. Price was so good I bought it sight unseen. The dealership however...a nightmare. Once the car gets delivered to my house this weekend I'll send you a PM to complete the transaction. Thanks for responding!

 

Hey...... wait a minute! I know this guy!!

Dude, let's start a club for FD owners who also picked up 8s. Was your decision driven by the backseat and little munchkins?

 

We most definitely should! And partially for the little munchkin, and mostly because Dale has not steered me wrong yet. After reading that "Cars to replace the FD in 2021" thread and reading through all the comments about how great, but different the RX-8 was I drove one at one of my local dealerships. Then I HAD to have one! What about you? How long have you had yours?

 

Almost 3 years and no one has written about the S2 unit? Not even to complain. Truth is that most S2 sales have been for trans swaps with owners of S1's have gone to S2 trans.
Since I don't own my 8 any longer I can't opine. But it seems the ratios make a big enough difference to spend the money. I want to warn you the price has not gone up for years
and when the ones on shelf are gone we will see what the new batch costs us and reflect that on sales price.

 

Man, I keep meaning to pick one up for my wife's car. Thanks for the reminder. Might have to surprise her for the holidays, haha.
