Well, at least something was a good deal at that time. Unlike springs and swaybar...
TWM performance
to those of you who were able to get a TWM before now, be thankful.
the short shifter is now 185 dollars.
for the shifter and counter-weight knob, they want 260 for the silver, and 275 for the gun metal!
these prices are not only ridiculous, they are HILARIOUS!

woo-hoo! i finally got a good deal on something! 130 shipped beats the hell out of 200 plus.
man, that sucks. I was planning on getting it when I had the dough. I don't really think it's that worth it now. You guys think it'll go back down eventually?
tCtunerZ are planning to copy the TWM shifter and sell it for $99. might make sense to wait.
glad i gave my money to Ken instead of tctunerz.Originally posted by zoltiz@Dec 30 2004, 09:39 PM

But on a serious note i believe creative compacts is also coming out with a SST Kit and its supposed to be half the price of twm with similar or better specs
Copy or not - how much "innovation" is in making a short shifter? Move the pivot point 1", make the stick shorter 2" - and you have a $200 product? I don't think so. Let tctunerz copy it and provide some decent competition. At least they are doing something.Originally posted by cad455+Dec 31 2004, 01:29 AM-->QUOTE (cad455 @ Dec 31 2004, 01:29 AM)<!--QuoteBegin-zoltizglad i gave my money to Ken instead of tctunerz.@Dec 30 2004, 09:39 PM

eh, i don't know if i'd trust their machine work, or anything they make, for that matter. if they sourced an outside company, maybe.
and, if someone can come up with something to reduce throws further, i'll be thinking about swapping it in. the TWM throws are starting to get long.

I would much rather spend more money than buy something from tctunerz at this point.

if they cant make carbon fiber correctly, i certainly wont trust them to machining anything. besides, the rep on the web seems to be true. all bad things start with tctunerz, imho.

I would never trust them with anything they came out with based on the info they've provided over time and D's experience. I'm waiting till TWM slashes their price or another decent company comes out with a comparable product.
IMHO I think that TWM has walked out on a limb and the customers aren't going to follow. Give it some time and I bet prices will come down out of necessity.Originally posted by whosthatrussian@Dec 30 2004, 09:25 PM

Ken
i hope so. i mean, i like the TWM shifter, but it isnt plated in gold.
No they aren't. They are good and they're nickel plated, which the imitations won't be, but I think they priced themselves out of the market.

Ken
I heard that it's made of aluminum then nickel plated. Correct me if I'm wrong.
Prefer stainless steel.

Our tC shifters are actually made from very high strength cold roll steel.
Thanks.
Thanks.
