clio short shift CLUB DEAL

[MaLicE]

hi guys, posting this on rsc also,

i can get hold of the clio short shift sticks (b&m) they will fit all clio models and 19 16vs etc, so they will fit 172s 1.4rts, etc.



i can get them cheaper than k tec sell them for, i can get them cheaper than k tec sell them for ex vat!!!

so if u interested post up here ok.

each person that wants 1 it will get cheaper every person we get, i.e

3 people = 146 quid each roughly,

4 people = 137 quid each i may be able to get em even cheaper.

so if 10 people want them we looking at like 121 quid each,

 

[Dansta]

got one already! doh!

 

[Ben j]

how hard r these to fit mate? and r u livin in bournemouth yet?

 

[MaLicE]

lo ben, they take like an hour to fit at the most, jack up car take out circlip and blot this 1 in, thats pretty much it.

and yeh m8, moving down end of august, to muddyford/christchurch.

 

[GPRIM]

short shift as in move forward to change down and pull back to change up?

 

[MaLicE]

no, short shift as in, half the hieght of the standard gear stick, made out of stainless steel, with stainless steel lift up reverse bit, and stainless steel nob, like push or pull a little bit to get it in gear, much easier to tell where the gears are etc, more precise.

 

[epic]

i am interested, i am not 100% sure but count me in at the moment

know of any pics with one of these fitted in a clio 1?

PS, i bought a club membership about 5 days ago, so i am a member pretty much, just waiting for my account info

 

[epic]

do you think insurance companies charge for having one of these fitted if they know about it?

 

[MaLicE]

no they shouldnt charge as u could argue it was a styling mod, if u told them u had a new gear stick they wouldnt say ne thing.

 

[Nick Read]

Yeah I always fancied one but couldnt really justify the cost! Worth having though if you like to change gear...

 

[telford_mike]

Ive tried a car which has one of these fitted (Roamers 172) - the throw is really short and fast. I got used to it after a couple of miles. Well recommended.

 

[MaLicE]

gonna speak to the suppliers at 5pm, they are sorting me a deal, will get back to u all soon, may be alot cheaper than i thought.

 

[Matbrown]

Cool!



Mat.

 

[MaLicE]

right spoke to them, and they will do them for £130.22 they will be cheaper if we get more people, that is for a price of 6 people, (inc rsc people) if we had 7 people it would be £127 quid each, and for 10 people is £122.78

if u r seriosely interested can you put your name down and then at the end of the week i will see how many people we have.

 

[epic]

i am interested, but can you get any pics of it? what make is it?

HOLD UP!

the actuall stick itself is shorter than normal? but the actual gear change is no shorter in movement in the box? normally short shift mean some kind of spacer goes in so u dont have to move the stick as far to change gear? not the stick is just smaller?

 

[MaLicE]

yeh its a shorter gear stick shaft, and also the par that connects to the gear linkage is shorter, meaning less travel on the stick.

[MaLicE]

ok those who are interested if you could send me an email with your name and your forum name then i can make a list and get a definate price.

by sending an email doesnt mean u have to have them, just means that you are interested. but as i said the more people the less we pay.

 

[Ben j]

im interested ish

 

[Ben j]

just need money

 

[Matbrown]

Same here, buying a house and short of cash at the mo.

Will see how it goes.



Mat.

 

[Daz]

Yea, Im semi-interested aswell..

 

[Thing]

Im definately interested, but not a club member yet... could I still put my name down??

 

[Elliot]

Would the current gear lever sleeve fit?

 

[MaLicE]

gear lever sleave ???



yeh u can put ur name down if u aint a member the more people the better...

 

[Dash]

Think he means the Alcantara gaitor. Would people need longer arms?

 

[MaLicE]

lol longer arms optional



and yeh the gaitor will fit.

 

[SexyRT]

are you sure itll fit the 1.4RT?

 

[Thing]

Whats your email address so I can mail you my details

 

[MaLicE]

yeh they will fit the rt, as the rt, 16v, 172, 1.216v all have the same linkages, same accross 90% of the renault cars.



my email is mailto:malice@lobstermail.co.uk">malice@lobstermail.co.uk or u can pm me, if you are interested could you all get in soon as possible.

i think i have roughly around 13 people if so, that means they will be like 120 quid each inc postage.

 

[epic]

is this going to feel loads shorter? do ppl need long monkey arms? not joking, just half the lenght could feel a bit odd to drive?

 

[MaLicE]

lol



no its not like you have to make more effort to grab the thing, it feels like its at the right hieght, the travel on it feels alot less though.

so quicker gear changes.

 

[MaLicE]

bump

 

[tadpole]

Is it tough to fit? If not, id be interested, as i was going to get one and get it fitted at K-Tec. This would obviously save a fair wad!

Cheers
Jon

 

[MaLicE]

u can do it your self, if u can take a wheel off u can do this, it comes with instructions ne way..

 

[Daz]

What if you can take a wheel off, but cant put it back on?

 

[patty]

[Alex M]

This interests me also, how many people you got now

[RobFenn]

Dont mean to be cynical but a short shifter is a bar with a hole in the bottom and the pivot moved up on the shaft..is it really that much to buy these, id thought theyd be like £40?

-Rob

 

[McBunny]
