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.

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.
