Update: cheapest price so far is this supplier in Melb. Next cheapest was $450!

We are just trying to determine if this guy in Melbourne is bona fide before we go ahead.

Thanks for the update and for checking this out thoroughly – price does almost sound too good to be true.

I’ll wait patiently while you folks do all the research… :)

TRD Short Shift

Take a look at the above link, this is as far as i am concerned legit product.

Please no one send questions, let Matt*ctk1 handle it as too many people will only make it confusing. Only reason i am posting the link is so that you can make your own assesment of the product before entering into the GB.

The other thing to consider is if they don't give us a group buy price, it is allready fairly cheap in comparisson to anything else ive seen, one person can buy it and let the others know if it is genuine! :anyhandsup: :P

Callum (ctk1) and Matt (Thunderbird2) have been trying to contact this guy regarding a group buy price, but he doesn't respond to emails all that well.

HOWEVER, Callum (ctk1) knows someone who has purchased a TRD short shifter from this guy for his Celica, and it was all good. So we will do a single buy and test the goods.

Don't thnak me too quickly...

I spoke to this guy, and it turns out they have moved from Melb to Queensland.

He did recieve my emails, but hasn't replied on account of a) recieving 70 a night and B) not having them in stock for the IS200.

He said that getting these for the IS200 is going to be difficult, and exopensive. The ones quoted are for celicas. He suggested we get them fabricated.

If anyone is in Queensland with a manual trany that can lend him the shifter he will organise a price to get ten fabricated.

I suggest that we could then get him to stick the TRD leather shift knob on top of them and for all intesive purposes we have a TRD short shifter at a fraction of the cost.

Any takers?

P.S> For those of you that are depressed upset by this, as i was i have something that can cheer you up Better than a TRD shifter

OK - our next best price on the genuine article is $445 shipped to one location in Australia. Might be able to do a few locations (3 states for example). I have dealt with this guy before (Gary).
Anyone interested at this not so palatable price?
