i was hoping so much that since there seemed to be more than one person with it that it was out already . . . <cry> STS was going to be my first mod until I found out there was none, i've been waiting forever for this thing! lol

Group Buy! Group Buy! Group Buy!

I think some of us are starting to recover from the Christmas Debt and I can't wait to do this. Now, we just have to find some decent weighted Reverse Lockout Shift Knobs.

what does the added weight shift knobs do???

Talk to medhi - he knows where to get it, he may have even posted a link to a shift knob site

I got the STS installed and man you guys without it are missing out. Can't even compare the feel, you just need to have one. it's a good deal for something you can really feel instantly. love this thing already, though i don't think it's necessary to get a heavier shift knob, but it wouldn't hurt that's for sure.

Belive me when I say that YOU NEED a heavier shift knob. if you like your short throws, YOU WILL TRIP BALLZ when you try it with a heavier shift knob. the car guys will know what I mean when I say that the with the knob + sts + MTF you car shifts better than an s2000!!!!!!

Seriously guys, GET A FREAKING HEAVIER SHIFT KNOB!!! min 340g !!! its THE BEST FEELING EVER!

go check my knob sticky in the interior mods section.

Guys Joe at racingline knows you want good pricing on this, and its in his best interests to make it available to all of you at a good price (which he as always been providing, even at NON-GB prices he is more than competitive)

Keep it classy

So i guess you are telling me to upgrade my tranny fluid... (checking the sticky)

LBC - i love how u get all fired up about group buys. If i didnt have this part already id be screaming group buy, and freaking out to racingline that i want this part now.

Post by **Racingline** » Fri Jan 09, 2009 4:06 pm

well I'm glad the response has been nothing short of excellent. I picked up the parts and sent them off for anodizing today. I have the 23rd listed on the site, however I think they'll be ready by about the 19th/20th.

I'll post a new thread with GB info in a few days.

Racingline comes thru with a GB!

Dj, the reason why sometimes GBs get a bad wrap is that a seller may say something like "they will be $xx if we get 30+ sold", like KPTechnolgy GB went... leaving people upset if we dont meet the mark and they dont get the part, or have to pay more than they originally anticipated.

Joe @ Racingline is on par with what we look for and how things work, thats why he continually offers us great pricing leaving smiles on everyones face and Racingline parts in all our coupes!

Pick Up a battery tie down from racingline too, Im rockin it! (hanukkah present from my gf)

"Short" haha - that is pretty good. Is that a joke.

Lbc - you are correct, and that is a great example. Im just messing with ya.I have nothing but good things to say about racingline. They are definitely on par with our exceptions if not exceeding them.

Guys/Gals whatever, lets just get these things. I have been begging for a STS. I imagined it would be about 1/3 throw shorter as almost all are whether billet or not. I know when I put my friends in his C5 he was stoked...now, granted that was an easy fit with the fail-safe hurst billet (33%) but if you have driven a C5 you know how ridiculously ape like throws they have....Ours stock is acceptable but man I miss the "flick of the wrist" I had w/Z-tard

How does the stock shift knob come off??

Me too. Can't wait! Although it's shipping USPS which can't be fast to Canada....

Post by **LinkNuc** » Thu Jan 15, 2009 8:24 am

Depends, usually stuff gets across the border fairly quick. Really depends on value/size. I have got Pure capsacin (holy hell be careful with that stuff It will iterally burn your skin (hands are ok for the most part but any on your face, you'll have a purple/red burn for 2 weeks) in 3 days from Canada and it came in a little vial and its whitwe powder lol.

I know its as hot as hot can get on the scoville scale 15-16 Million, but it is actyually dangerous, i couldn't imagine getting on a mucus membrane or another ahem area

Are you sure it's being shipped usps? racingline is in canada so i don't see how that makes sense. it'll probably go canada post in which case you should get it faster than our southern counterparts.

Post by **Blackmobile** » Thu Jan 15, 2009 12:13 pm

Yes, the shift knob is what I'm waiting for. Coming from Arizona as I recall. The race is on!

Once it warms up a bit, I'll try the redline fluid as well.
