are you guys interested in the new Dart at all? i think an easy product for you guys (and a common complaint for Dart owners) is a short throw shifter and/or smaller shift knob.

 

[Boomba Racing]

We are interested in every car - hell it could even be a Fit for all we care. We just love the game.

Not sure what you guys specialize in, but do you guys do any fab metalwork? I need an exhaust manifold for my 04 Cooper S that will be turbocharged. Been shopping around a bit, thought I'd see if you guys do anything like that.

Yeah its amazing the things that make it out of the factory. My Kia was made in GA and it was missing a bolt holding the heat shield to the turbo, and a push-clip that was supposed to hold the plastic thing from under the motor to the lip was replaced with a goofy sized fender bolt. I went to do my first oil change and was the wtf!! Damn Korean crap, then i realized it was made in GA. USA FAIL

I think I am the king of de-railing threads lately.

I hate you Kevin (but not really).




So what's planned for this new focus st? I'm familiar with the other products you guys make in house. Do you guys do tuning or just dyno time?

well dart owners need a short throw shifter and shift knob - how long would you need a car to get the ball rolling?

How soon are you looking to get this done? I ask since we are very booked and don't have the manpower to pull away from their other projects at the moment.

Expect a LOT more coming from us as we are in the middle of expanding our facilities

Best case scenario no more than a day for 2-3 occasions usually over a couple of weeks period
Day 1: Remove shifter and take measurements
Day 2: Test fit our product and plan out any modifications needed
Day 3: You get to test out the final and give us plenty of feedback for years to come.

PMing

how about a short throw for a chevy sonic, the stock one is irritating me, and im pretty sure the chevy cruze has the same shifter, could get two cars done with one product

 

[RICH17]

IDK if it will be the same. The Sonic is more in the dash I thought

I had a Cruze Eco!

I went from tanking up twice a week to once every two weeks, it was awesome.

Had? What happened?

Gave it to my brother because he was in need of a car - Still in the family though.

The actual shifter i believe is the same, with GM used cable linkage to run from the shifter to the trans but the actual stick is the same between the two as far as i know
