March-8th-2003, 01:40 AM
I am currently in the ORDERING stages of a purchase directly from kartboy (http://www.kartboy.com) for a "supercombo" which include the kartboy short shifter and bushings as well as the kartboy knob of your choice, for only $115 shipped anywhere in the continental US.

combos:
shifter/bushings/knob 115 shipped
shifter/bushings only 105 shipped
shifter/knob only 105 shipped
bushing/knob only 40 shipped
canada add 10$

singles:
shifter only 85 shipped
bushing only 20 shipped
knob only 25 shipped
canada add 5$

all prices in US$

normal retail on these three pieces are as follows
lever: 90 + shipping
bushing 25 + shipping
knob: 40 + shipping
supercombo: 135 + shipping

once again my price:
supercombo: 115 SHIPPED!

the way this will work is i will purchase these from directly from kartboy. I will then separate and ship whatever you wanted to you. this process could take as long as a couple weeks. as always i will keep you informed the entire way.

edit (3/16):
I AM ACCEPTING ORDERS NOW!

This is being sold by me, NOT by All Wheel Engineering (Kartboy), they hold no responsibilty.

re-read your post there.... is the supercombo $115 shipped, or $135 + shipping? i'll take the $115 option please.

the $135 price is retail and does not include shipping. mp3wannabe has these for $115 shipped.

i edited the post, sorry about the confusion, but yes I am selling them for 115 shipped, whereas the msrp is 135 + shipping.

I am interested in just the lever. Is it still 10$ more for the shipping bringing the total to 90?

Let me know, cause Im checking another company that is making some near my house which might come out cheaper for me. Cause of the exchange rate and the shipping.

i'd be interested!

i can do 90 shipped for the lever alone to canada, fyi:


i will start taking orders NOW, you can pay me one of the following ways:

mail cashiers check or money order to:

Jon Doll
7804 Champaign
Mentor, OH 44060

or pay with your credit card at paypal.com (http://www.paypal.com) my email address to use is slchubchub@hotmail.com

either way please include your name, address, phone number, email address, what you would like, and SCREEN NAME (i have had problems where i dont know who is who).

you may also send cash or personal checks to the above address, but with cash make sure you send it certified to make sure i get it (i am NOT responsible for lost payment) with personal check i will not ship to you until your check has cleared my bank.

with any and all forms of payment please contact me ahead of time to let me know that it is on its way. either PM me here (i am on just about everyday) or email me at the address above (i check it several times a day) i will also return the favor and let you know when i recieve your money and also when i ship out your order.

make all checks payable to Jon Doll

if you are getting a knob please specify what color combination you want, the options are:
silver knob with blue or red shift pattern
hard (granite like color) with blue or red shift pattern.

one more thing: it may take a few weeks for an order to get to you. i need 15 to place the order with kartboy, and then once they ship to me, i still have to ship out to you.

mp3wannabe
March-10th-2003, 11:46 AM
for those of you with g1 and g2, this will fit ANY protege, including g1, g2, g3, p5, mp3, msp

i have roughly 6 full combos requested at this point (this thread is on other forums as well) so we just need 9 more combos for me to order.

if any of you want to pay me now you can, if you would prefer to wait until i order from kartboy, thats fine too. but if you have a special request for knob color please let me know BEFORE i order, other wise i will just pick at random. i will keep posting any relevant information as it comes availible.

March-10th-2003, 01:57 PM
Does anyone want just the knob? I may be interested in just the lever and bushings so I can get the Sparco Tecno I've been wanting. If so, PM me or reply on the board. If we can't split shipping addresses, I can order the whole package and ship just the knob for $25 to whoever wants it.

Also, MP3Wannabe: Would you be interested in a combined installation so we can help each other out? :D For one thing, I have almost no tools :eek:

mp3wannabe
March-10th-2003, 02:19 PM
no prob nate :D
and for you i can just personally deliver it and save you shipping if youd like ;)
i know this wont go through until i go back to cincy anyway, i can do it for you for 100 (no shipping costs)


let me add this for everybody else:

you can order just the lever/bushings if you want, i will still order the knob, but if you dont want it i can take care of that else where (read: ebay) or just hang onto the extras. the price for the bushing and lever is 105 shipped

nate0123

Are the stick-on indicators for those knobs for a 6 speed? If so, do they come in 5 speed models?

mp3wannabe
March-11th-2003, 11:15 AM
they actually read
"k a r t
b o y"

in the spots where the number should be for a 6, so no there is no 5 speed option.

Let's give this thing a friendly *bump* ;)

How many orders so far Jon?

mp3wannabe
March-12th-2003, 09:57 AM
as of right now i have enough interest to order 7 full kits, in order for this to be worthwhile to me, i NEED at least like 10. so everyone that has expressed interest can start paying me, but i WILL NOT order for like another two weeks, just so that i can get more people involved. in the mean time you can start sending me money so that i know exactly where i stand. in things like this people tend to back out...they say their interested, but then really arent.

this is a GREAT deal! everybody on this forum should want one! tell your friends and neighbors, jump in!!

i want to help everybody out, including myself so order today! :D

kore
March-12th-2003, 03:51 PM
I'm interested in the full kit. So, it would be $125 US shipped to Canada, right? PM me and let me know...thanks...

I'd be interested in a knob and bushing only, but I want to be sure they fit the stock shifter (anyone?) first. I'd like the knob in black with the red insert. Let me know via email (joefanaselle@yahoo.com)

Arghman
March-13th-2003, 04:40 AM
Does anyone have a pic of the knob installed in teh car? I wanna see how it looks in comparison to the rest of the car. It looks like it could be like the size of a golf ball but it also could be the size of a hardball, there is nothing else in the pic to comapre it to.

I'm probably down to get a knob and bushing combo if i can see a pic!

wiredone
March-13th-2003, 05:42 AM
i think its the same but i dont know
i drive a SP20 Astina, which is practically the same in every way,

if it is id love one with a black knob...

what you know about our SP's?

mp3wannabe
March-13th-2003, 08:00 AM
i have NO clue on the SP...maybe Tom has some idea

the bushing and knob DO fit the stock lever

hey tom you have any pics of the shifter installed? i know ive seen them before, but i cant seem to find them again

mixmaster_matt
March-13th-2003, 01:45 PM
Hey man, sorry, but take me off the list. I have already ordered it from Kartboy, didn't want to wait for a month until I could get it. Since I didn't need the knob the price was right around what you offered, so I figured I would order it now. But for those who don't need it today, it is a great deal still, especially for the whole package.

mp3wannabe
March-13th-2003, 02:24 PM
thats ok, but you know what they say "patience is a virtue"

we still need more people to jump in on this so that i can buy and get this going!!

March-14th-2003, 12:11 PM
right now if everybody pays me that said they wanted in, i will have enough to do my initial buy-in. I will still be taking a hit on it, but that allows me to speed everything up. I can ship out those who have paid, and any future orders can be shipped out immediately. So, in other words, if you said you wanted in, and really do, please send me money if you have not done so yet. To this point I have recieved payments from 5 people, but together they only have (roughly) 3 full combos, so, the quicker you pay, the quicker I get you a great deal on this great product.

arghman: if you need more info let me know.

thanks agian guys!

Sounds like a great deal. How much extra horsepower does the bushings give you?

LOL, j/k.

What kind of performace improvement does the bushings and short shifter give you tho? Is it easier to shift? Feel better? I havent done any research on this so Im just throwing a couple of questions out.

mp3wannabe
March-17th-2003, 03:23 PM
the short shifter allows you to fly through the gears much faster. your hand needs to move less. the bushings eliminate the squishy stock shift complaints. this helps the general feel of the throw. and of course, they look cool as hell :D

there is much more info in here if you do a search.

as soon as a couple of the 6 payments that are in the mail reach me i will go ahead and order, as of right now i am just a little short of my "safe" point money wise, and thats just with the paypal money! thanks to all who have paid quickly, and amazingly enough i only have 3 people who seem to have no intentions of paying! i am

mp3wannabe
March-19th-2003, 01:58 PM
i think im gonna have to stop taking orders for bushings only. :( as of right now i have 18 orders for bushings (counting those paid and in the mail only) and only 15 orders for levers, and 14 for knobs. since i have to buy the entire set, whether or not i sell the whole thing, i dont think i can sell anymore bushings without a shifter or knob. if i cant sell the other two components, then it does me no good to have paid the full price, and then sold one part really cheaply.

so, in other words, if you have paid already(or have told me its on the way), your fine, dont worry about anything, i've got you covered. if you have pm'd or emailed me about purchasing the bushings only (which i dont think i have anybody in that category) dont worry about it. but for any newly interested people, if you want the bushings, you MUST buy them with something else. in other words, either a shift lever, or a knob. sorry about this, i just dont want to lose something like $75-100 a piece. hope you understand

mp3wannabe
March-20th-2003, 12:13 PM
heres whats gonna happen:

im going to place the order with kartboy either today or tomorrow, depending on how long it takes them to get back to me. I will be ordering one full set more than i need, since for some reason people always seem VERY interested, right after its over....this will be a first come first serve type of deal.

I am giving a last oppurtunity for a few people who have expressed interest, but not pursued, if any of you still want in, please let me know IMMEDIATLY! these people include:

ja_rho2.0
p5nla
aceraj
boognish

please let me know. any questions or last minute orders please PM or email me at SLCHUBCHUB@hotmail.com

What is the difference between the B&M shifter and the Kartboy shifter. I want to get one but not sure between the two. If someone can help me with this it would be much appreciated.

TDK

Arghman
March-21st-2003, 02:19 PM
I think the B&M is a little higher quality but is about as tall as the stock shifter. It reduces the throw a lot but it's the same height.
As for the Kartboy, i've heard it lowers the shifter, and decreases the throw almost as much as the B&M. It's cheaper and uses different materials.

mp3wannabe
March-21st-2003, 04:55 PM
just to let everyone know, i put the order in to kartboy. so it should be a couple of days before things get processed and shipped, but then i will start shipping out the orders as soon as possible.

just an update to anyone looking to purchase the extra(s) as of right now i have ONE FULL COMBO with a black knob and either black or blue sticker (gotta decide which i want, ahh the perks of being the seller) if you are interested please pm me or email me slchubchub@hotmail.com as soon as possible. i have a feeling i will not have this for long. i think i also have one more shifter, with no bushing or knob. my original prices still apply.

full kit 115

bushing alone 20
knob alone 25

any other combos (besides the full kit) will be charged as 2 individuals

THERE HERE!!!!!!

I recieved the heavy ass box from kartboy today, I am about to begin separating them out, I will ship them to all people from whom I have recieved payment. For those of you who have mailed it, but I have not recieved it yet, I'll ship it asap, but not before I get the check, hope you understand.

thanks again guys!

I shipped all the US orders that had paid me today, but not the canadain ones (i packaged everything in "priority mail" boxes, and i found out once i got to the post office that those boxes cant go out of country :doh: http://protege5.com/vbb225/images/smilies/banghead.gif) so i'll ship those tomorrow.

i have 4 orders on "stand-by" meaning that they have been requested but not paid for yet, so you guys (im sure you know who you are) need to pay-up if you want your order. i'll give you until the first to contact me with payment (or mailing of payment), then i'll release them to the hounds for good.

i have ONE shifter, no bushing, no knob still up for sale, if anyone wants this please let me know.

So you think you might send it UPS to Canada cause USPS and Canada Post working together is like watching a monkey drive my car. Its not pretty. Either of these always breaks or loses my stuff before it gets to my house. No problem with UPS though.

Just a thought... actually a wish.:)

:crook: That sucks. Oh well, hopefully USPS and Canada Post won't screw up this time on my order. Thanks for trying.:bt:

Post some pics when you have yours installed. And maybe a few hints and tips to make the install easier on the rest of us.

On a side note, I got my H&R springs today. I'm gonna be knee deep in installs for the next few weeks.:D

Got mine in today, and it's installed!! Took me about an hour and a half to do bushings/shaft/knob this morning between classes. It works great and feels great. It sure improves the only weak spot on the car--the shifting. I am very impressed with Kartboy's quality. It makes the car more fun to drive--Zoom Zoom!


Keep on Zoomin'

well i have sold all of the spare parts, sorry to anybody who missed out. keep watching, as i may again do a deal with kartboy, you never know. Thanks to all who have ordered, this went much smoother than my last attempt (the injen cai). i *may* do more group buy/reduced price sales in the future, but as of right now i have no plans for anything soon. watch for me in the summer, you never know! thanks again!

If ever you do a AWR rear swaybar group buy I might be interested. hahaha, last time I wrote you that, you started a group buy the following week. Admit it, you`re tempted.:)

i have shipped out all of the orders, and many have been recieved and installed already...but i have a problem, one of them lost a shifter at some point, it could have been my fault, i could have put one in the wrong box or something, so if you recieved a shifter that you did not pay for, PLEASE be considerate to your fellow protege owners and let me know immediatley!

I hope its not mine LOL. Sorry bout the late payement but I think it would still be in transit.:)

no, what im saying is that i *may* have shipped one of you guys an extra shifter, which i highly doubt, none of you should be shorted, its just somebody contacted me saying that they ordered a shifter, and it wasnt in the box. im blaming it on the postal office/the priority mail boxes.......just if you get an extra, let me know

Thank you for all the administrative help!

it's been most excellent. though the manufacturer packing could be better as the knobs were chipped due to multiple agency handling.

I had the same problem, but I can't complain for the price. Sweet deal, thanks again man.

guys, sorry about the shipping, I didnt check the knobs when they came in, which i know now that i should have.

Im going to do another buy, so if you are interested let me know what you want and i'll order some more.

Does installing a short shifter and bushings void anything on the warranty? My local dealer are asshol$s, so I dont want to take any changes. Looks sweet tho! :D

mp3wannabe
April-14th-2003, 07:51 PM
the only things it will void is anything directly related to it, so anything that the ss could cause to happen would not be covered.
