This thing is a piece of crap, worst $165 I've spent. It's already flaking, it doesn't line up very well, and every time I grab the thing, it just feels cheap.
JoshA 10-05-2005, 05:50 PM Wow, never heard of that brand. What gen supra is that for?
ma71supraturbo 10-05-2005, 06:33 PM Yeah, that's an ebay brand that fits 82-92 Supra.
Dustin 10-05-2005, 08:07 PM Shame it's a pile of shit, I really want a short shifter
ChrisB 10-05-2005, 08:16 PM I think we have a group buy on S3 short shifters. Email sales@horsepowerfreaks.com for the details.
psykho supra 10-21-2005, 07:18 PM Sorry to hear it's a piece of crap.
Thanks for the heads up though.
NashMan 11-05-2005, 10:14 PM what amke it feel liek crap
KeithH 11-30-2005, 09:43 AM The S3 shifter that HPF is selling is VERY nice! I got one just before I left for the 2004 Supras Invade Las Vegas and drove with it every day. WOW! Makes the shifts nice and quick. I've heard you don't want to go this route for drag racing as it will increase the risk for missed shifts. If you want quality you have to pony up some $$ though.
Ross1 11-30-2005, 05:46 PM TWM shifters is supposed to be coming out with a short shifter for us MK3 owners. i haven't asked them lately but gave them a few calls this summer asking about it..
later

NashMan 12-02-2005, 08:08 PM so what makes the ebay one crap
ma71supraturbo 12-02-2005, 09:10 PM I guess the mounting holes don't line up and the tolerances for the pivot and bushings are off enough to make it have lots of extra force to change gears. I've heard of a number of people complaining -- although there are a few who say the work fine so it may just be a quality-control issue *shrugs*

slimfastsupra 12-30-2005, 01:18 AM I dunno.
I love mine, but I changed the way I installed it. I installed it first the way instructed and it wasn't working well for me. I re-installed it another way and now it's great. I use it every day.
Every supra owner that I have drive it (4 so far), instantly say "holy shit that is SHOOORT". It's so short of a shift that it takes you a week to get used to it.
Still $165, you paid way too much.
Good luck.
Turbo-Joe 12-30-2005, 02:28 AM is it a short throw shifter or just a short shifter. if its just short, i dont want it. i think shorter shifters in the MK3 feel ergonomically wrong. the stock height is fine to me.
the C's is nice. short throw, stock height
slimfastsupra 12-30-2005, 08:35 AM Short throw short height.
I love the short throw but hate the short height. Little tiny shifters are great when you are 18, but when you get old you want it to feel stock.
I'm going to make an adapter so that it sits like stock, then I'll be happy again :)
supramacist 03-13-2006, 01:55 PM personally......., I like the short shifter effect. It makes it feel to me like I get from between gears more quickley. I am not sure that I would like it in my supra. I half to say....., I agree with turbo joe on this one. It's just my opinion and there is a reason it is free. It is nice to know that this particular model is a tird. Hell..., I just want to do things to the car that are going to keep it on the road.
dizahl 03-13-2006, 09:29 PM supramacist and joe are just use to dealing with short things :flame:
supramacist 03-13-2006, 10:42 PM it's not the size of the boat, it's the motion in the ocean baby. can you believe it only took 103 posts to become a senior member........, you had better start showing me some respect diz. lol
dizahl 03-13-2006, 11:07 PM right.... Joe's been here from almost day one and i only give him respect only a few times. at least he has a 1jz.
supramacist 03-14-2006, 02:02 PM Joe never even answers you dude......, I think he feels like he shit's bigger than you or something.
dizahl 03-14-2006, 07:09 PM no he's just scared and have you ever seen a picture of joe. he's not that big but he is still a cool guy, at least cooler than you.
supramacist 03-15-2006, 09:32 AM Well I don't know who it would be but someone on here might think I am cooler than you...., riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight. has any one herd from daledoe or suprakim??
supramacist 03-15-2006, 09:33 AM and the only reason you have a seemingly lack of respect for me is because we have yet to see each other at a green light, biotch. kidding ofcourse.
dizahl 03-15-2006, 02:01 PM hey my clutch is just fine, and my car still runs and I HAVE A TURBO TO SPOOL, it just has a slight knock.
dizahl 03-15-2006, 02:03 PM don't make me take you out in the 240sx, bet you can't even shift right, shit i'll take you out in the rx-7 that has a 1.1 in it
dizahl 03-15-2006, 02:04 PM talk shit, yes i do. post whore, yes i am.
supramacist 03-15-2006, 02:21 PM Now you are going to knock my driving abilities????? what's up with that? I drive this car like I was born underneath it. Traditionaly rx 7's are slow out of the hole till you get them wound up and by that time you would be so far behind that there would be no sense in even trying:) lol. I like you diz you and your style.
dizahl 03-15-2006, 02:41 PM hell you've been to hermann you know what some of the roads are like have you ever driven hwy h?
supramacist 03-15-2006, 05:16 PM maybe someday...., you will wake up from this dream.
if all it does it makes the stick shorter why don't u just cut down the stock one to a height that u like???
dizahl 03-15-2006, 06:16 PM exactly i would be cheaper than that hunk, then you wouldn't have the not fitting issue.
dizahl 03-15-2006, 06:17 PM dino is that you on your supra?
lol no dizahl that ain't me that was a girl who was walking around at a show last year.
dizahl 03-15-2006, 07:12 PM damn. the car still rocks. did you get her #?
lol not with my gf at the time standing next to me i didn't no. but this year i'm single living in a new part of the uk so it's all fair this year till some ho steal's my heart again lol
dizahl 03-15-2006, 07:21 PM why didn't your gf pose then? that a boy tear them up hell come to the states women love the english accent.
i'd love to come to the states u guy's get so many fun parts for the soops at such great price's my gf was bit shy like bless her one of the reason's she's an ex lol
dizahl 03-15-2006, 07:27 PM i would have done naughty things to that blonde, she just has that look.
supramacist 03-16-2006, 08:58 AM baby calves have had that look haven't they diz.
dizahl 03-16-2006, 11:41 AM only for you kentucky boy i'm not that sick minded. i like women.
