Micro Image Short Shift Kit- prototype review - Page 2 - Toyota Yaris Forums

BEEF · 05-27-2011, 02:18 PM

just waiting right now. I put the extender on and my throw is about 8" so I need to do something. the extender does put the shifter almost exactly where I want it. just need to change the throw.

c-mon, sell it to us...you know you wanna.

BEEF · 05-27-2011, 03:02 PM

garm told me that the new one would work for both vendors though that was back when it was still in the prototype process. I asked him about the old one before he took it off his web site and that is when I found out he was working on this one.

my assumption is that this new one will not have this issue though many have said that it wasn't much of an issue (as stated by RedRide).

I just want one and with the addition of the plate, this one seens right up my alley.

That's great!

OTA'sTOY · 05-27-2011, 04:18 PM

how much! how much!

NZ-FE Vios · 05-28-2011, 06:42 PM

Haven't followed any previous threads about this but am interested once available

BEEF · 05-28-2011, 07:01 PM

yea the waiting game is really sucking on my end too. I talked to garm about a month (maybe month and a half) ago about this.

he gave me a price range but I dare not say as I know that cost can go up once you find out how much it will actually cost to produce. I honestly don't care how much it is, I just want it. obviously there is a limit to that "don't care" mentality but if it is reasonable, I will make an order as soon as he says I can.

In production, will try to get an ETA this week for delivery of the shipment.

This IS a group buy guys -- without the group.

That should so be MI's motto.

Can't Wait!!!

BEEF · 05-29-2011, 02:28 PM

garm,

you might be suprised by how many people are going to order this almost immediately, and that number is going to be even higher if you sell just the bracket separately. I have seen quite a bit of interest in it just from my searching around.

you definitely hit the market at the right time with this one(many of us would have loved it earlier)

***edit***

any idea about price? final price? just curious

NZ-FE Vios · 06-29-2011, 06:18 PM

Any word?

BEEF · 06-29-2011, 10:38 PM

the last I heard, they were going to be available around july 1st. hopefully that still holds true. I have been chomping at the bit for this one.

cali yaris · 06-30-2011, 11:33 AM

They are on the boat and on the way. Because of the weight of the shipment, we opted for slower ocean freight shipping. I don't have an ETA, but I will get an arrival notice when the ship is close to the Port of Los Angeles.

BEEF · 06-30-2011, 12:05 PM

you don't want to know.

Right now it's looking like $89 shipped for the full kit, and TBA pricing for just the bracket.

Hahaha, Garm told me how many, then i

Garm, email me the price for the bracket alone and another complete set. I hope it could ship together with the backordered red crank pulley. :)
