BTW Andy, that is one sick "G" you got!!
:thumbsup:

Thanks for coming down once again. Your car is very very nice, one of the nicer maximas that i have seen.

Thanks for the props on the G35. Its getting supercharged later this month. hopefully it will work out good.

Bottom line people is that it works and works well. It was very satisfying and worth it in my opinion. Also this is the only company on the market that has stepped up to the plate for us. If you are not sure about it then wait for someone else to produce one and spend your money there. JUST quit *****in!! I offered myself up as a guinea pig for all of us to finally have this part, lets make it a joyful experience for all of us.... BTW, Merry Christmas you buncha bastards... J/K :angel:

Just ordered mine. And a Merry Merry to you as well.

Bluesbrekr 12-03-2004 12:29 PM

Just ordered mine, too. WooHoo!!

Jon610 12-03-2004 12:38 PM

Well mine be ordered!!! So when sould be expecting to be getting the product??

HNDA ETR 12-03-2004 12:42 PM

Well now... seems like someone forgot to thank me for going to Andy's fabricator and going over the plan for getting this STS done.... ;)

We actually did review the in-car, under shifter, mechanisms, but the reverse lockout made doing it under the shifter too complex.

The method that we decided to go with is actually so simple and easy, that I'm surprised it's been so hard to get it done!

I'm actually picking up mine directly from the fabricator on Saturday... sucks that even though I worked on this with him, I didn't get the VERY first one... oh well... at least it's done!!

FYI - Andy's fabricator (hopefully I'm not telling any secret here) also designs and fabricates for a lot of companies, like Nismo... He's actually working on a VERY VERY trick STS for another Nissan car model....

Quick question for HPautoworks
 
HP, will you be sending out confirmations for the orders received through Pay-Pal? Also, are these being shipped right away or are we waiting for them to be produced?
Thanks for putting this together for us!!! :bowdown: :mardi: :doublethu

imported_JIC_A33 12-03-2004 05:08 PM

Just ordered mine as well! I think every 6spd is going to be all over this! thanks HP for doing it and doing it so quickly! :doublethu

mdloops 12-03-2004 05:17 PM

I would order right now! BUT I am going to be buying a tein/kyb setup soon. Good job HPAutoWorks. I am wondering what SSR is planning now?

The peice that we have designed is simple and bottom line......gets the job done.

I would have loved to keep the cost down like Comptech has it BUT A. we are not nearly as large of a company B. We dont have a order for 2k of them like the RSX has and C. They have actually had problems with theirs, so its actually been redisgned again. Its all about market demand and pre-orders. The Spec V shifters, we had pre-ordered over 500 of them to get the pricing that we got it for.

I dont want people to think that we are ripping anyone off.

You got me wrong. If it's functional that's all that matters not a multi piece item, that and the install is easier.
I wouldn't expect any company to do anything with the control lever. Not only would the arm need to be made but injection molding along with many other things for something that doesn't yield much preformance wise with a smaller market.

Everyone that has already ordered, has been processed. There werent any problems with any orders and those that ordered through the site, all were charged the 149.00 price. Thanks once again to everyone.

Eleebob7 12-03-2004 08:14 PM

Can't wait to get it. The site didn't load though so hope I didn't inadvertantly order two. BTW. YOU GUYS ROCK!!!!! :woot:

(Any idea if I got in on the first batch? or did you guys already sell all of them?)

Dont worry, the site doesnt charge you at point of purchase. we adjust the prices when the order comes through.

ynot411 12-03-2004 09:23 PM

Just Ordered!
 
Just ordered mine. Can't wait to install it.

BeSeenWithGreen 12-03-2004 09:55 PM

Cool thanks again bro! :ben:

Eleebob7 12-03-2004 09:59 PM

Man... Can't wait to get it...

I hope this doesn't mess me up though. I got finals this week.

sooner02r1 12-04-2004 12:07 AM

Just ordered a shifter. I hope I got it in before all 30 were gone. If not will you bill my card and send me one when more are produced, or will you just cancel the order?

Phxblue, thanks for letting them test fit your car. Hope your wife is doing well. And thanks to everyone else who helped this along, I have been waiting for this for a LONG time.

Can someone post the install instructions for this thing? I'm very curious as to how it installs so easily.

Thanks

We will be shipping them all the same day we get them, so as of now, all 24 will be shipped out the same time.

studman 12-04-2004 10:26 AM

Paypal has been sent. The shipping address hasn't been confirmed yet because I just moved. Let me know if there are any problems.
