Yeah I have a 1st gen 5 speed...and wanted a short shifter..BUT me paying 200$ right now is a bad time right now...



What brands are you guys using ..I onl;y saw one brand advertised for the first gen on the net...

Do any of you have any used ones?

My buddy has one on his S4 T2. Its pretty sweet, but notchy. Try this site for a lessexpensive shortshifter horsepowerinabox.com. It austrailian, but thats good, as their dollar isn't worth **** right now.

damn shame the shipping is so high, it would be about half the cost of the mazdatrix one, assuming that site is all in australian $ but the shipping for a short shifter ends up being over $100 US, I think I will just get one from Mazdatrix, and help out the forum.

actually, the shipping isn't that bad. i think shipping to the US is included in their website.



I know I had my ECU and EFI bits shipped from Japan and it didn't cost but $18

Remember the amount of AU dollars vs US dollar amount for the shifter..

AU dollar was $200.

so in US dollar it came out to be $111.40 ....



I dont think the shipping is gonan be more than $50. and I still come out cheaper than going to Mazdatrix..



AU has so many things for the RX we dont have here....or its better..



I think the Thorsen is made in AU if im wrong tell me..and what about Haltec?



I know you guys get 12A turbos all day..Im waiting for shipping price of one..It was listed for $900.

i have a short shifter...























In my GTi.

hehehe

umm, I tried to order it, it was $200 AU for the shifter, which is good, and $185 AU for shipping to the US, which ends up being about the same as Mazdatrix, if not a bit more, since they are selling them for $192 US

That sounds fishy. I bet they're trying to make more money off you cuz you are american.

I dont think thats right for the shipping...

I been checking on this 6 peice 1st gen kit..and the shipping for that ground effect kit is $350. US dollars

short shifter is one of my favorite mods on my car

Only in sports cars do guys pay money for a shorter stick.... https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...DIR#>/wink.png

you might want shorted cue's in pool or a shorter club in golf too :P

UPDATE****

subject: RE: shipping info







Shipping is $190AUD if you want it in 3-5 days or $65AUD if 1-2 weeks is

O.K.

Unfortunately it is the same price for 1 item or 2, as there is a base

freight charge to 5 kg and the parcel will weigh under 5 kg,

You can order by pay-pal if you like, just fill out the order form on the

site for 1 or 2 short shift kits, but don't worry about the credit card

details.

You will get a receipt mailed back to you. Ignore the shipping info, just go

on the special quote above. Deposit the total amount in my bank account or

pay pal it to orders@horsepowerinabox.com I will check the deposit and send

the goods off to the details on the order form I receive when you fill out

the order form that you get when you click on "checkout now" after adding

the product to your cart.



If this is all too hard, mail me at rpmpc@picknowl.com.au and I'll talk you

through it.





Regards, Tim.

Ok I converted the money over $190. AUD is $107.085 American Dollar rounded off to $107.09..this is for 3-5 days shipping...



and $65. AUD is $36.65 for 1-2 weeks shipping..



Going by parts numbers the short shifter is good for cars with tranny years from...84-88



This is cheaper than Mazdatrix by a long shot...

$100. for the shifter

+ $36.65 for shipping

not $200. + shipping..



If Mazdatrix can price match since they our sponsors* then I will buy from them ..if not..then it dont matter to me..I will direct every one to Australia that I can..



As of now..I will be ordering 2 shifters ..maybe 3 in about a month

I live in australia... and yea... our rotary market is reasonably strong....



that place (horesepowerinabox) is just down the road from me.... give me a few days and i'll check out if i can get that shifter any cheaper for ya....

Thanx man..Yeah I know the AU rotary market is big...BUT shipping to the US is where it gets you..



I have been looking at the Ultima kit from Seletcmaz...

If you know any other good sites ..respond and post them

hmm, if you get 2-3 of them, I may have to "acquire" one from you, free of shipping of course =) minus the gas to drive up to tampa and hand you the $110 or so =)
