FS: Kartboy Short Shift Combos!
 
This is kinda a duplicate of another thread that I have posted. The reason for this double posting is to clean up the details so that people do not need to rumage through like 10 pages of crap to find any information. So, here is the other posting to look through at your leisure.

and here is the info:
all prices are in USD and INCLUDE shipping, Canada orders add 5$ for shipping.

Kartboy Short Shifter Combos:
Shifter, Bushing, Knob $115
Shifter and Bushing $100
Shifter and Knob $105
Knob and Bushing $40

Singles:
Shifter $85
Knob $25
Bushing $20

Knob color options:
Silver, Black, Hard (charcoal/granite color)
Knob sticker insert options:
Blue, Red, or Black "Kartboy" shift pattern logo, Yellow Barcode logo

There are pictures on the other posting.

These are being sold by me, and not All Wheel Engineering (Kartboy). As of this posting Kartboy is out of stock on shifters, but they have informed me that they will be back in stock in roughly a week, so by the time that I have enough to order (roughly 10 full kits) they should be back in stock.

Payment options:

PAYPAL IS PREFFERED!!
paypal email is slchubchub@hotmail.com

you can mail me a check or money order at:

Jon Doll
4444 Redmont Ave
Cincinnati, OH 45236
(This is different than the other post, since I have gone back to school in Cincy, you can still mail it to the other address, as it is my parents house)

Thanks!
questions can be sent to the above email, posted here, or in the other post.

mp3wannabe April-26th-2003 11:21 AM

ttt

mp3wannabe April-28th-2003 11:57 AM

bump :D

only need a couple more orders! come on!

sileighty21 April-30th-2003 02:00 PM

i tried sending you an email, but it said your storage is too full. i was just wondering when you need the payment by. if you can wait til next tuesday, or possibly the one after at the latest, i'll buy in(tuesday's are payday:) )

mp3wannabe April-30th-2003 05:26 PM

that should be fine.....I should still have some if you tell me what you want I can set it aside for you until you can pay. what did you want? entire combo or bits and pieces?

sileighty21 April-30th-2003 09:28 PM

just a couple questions. i have a first gen so will my knob still work? how much shorter is it than the stock shifter? and are the bushings the same as the ones wil (groharlem) was doing the group buy for?

mp3wannabe May-1st-2003 01:21 PM

the bushings are different. you CAN NOT use the bushings here for a first gen.

I dont think the stock knob will fit, it has threads that match the 3rd gen knobs, so I dont think its the same thread.

the shifter itself is pretty short, i have not seen one in a first gen, but there are some pics that nate0123 put up awhile back, in his 2002 pro sedan, i couldnt seem to find them, i think the search is messed up again. On my 2001 the shifter is roughly 3 inches shorter than stock.

sileighty21 May-1st-2003 04:35 PM

so i would need the shifter and the knob then right?

mp3wannabe May-1st-2003 08:59 PM

thats right.

sileighty21 May-2nd-2003 09:55 AM

ok, i'm just gonna get a shifter only. i've always wanted a nice sparco knob so i'll get that instead. i don't like the kartboy ones. i will let you know asap when i will pay for it, but i will pay for it. i swear on my protege;)

mp3wannabe May-2nd-2003 10:38 AM

cool, so wait that means that if you dont pay I get your Pro? nice.

[chanting in head] please dont pay please dont pay please dont pay please dont pay [/chanting in head] j/k

back to reality....i've got you down for one shifter. thanks

Just wondering why it is $5 more to buy them as a package than to buy them separately ... ? Would like to order just the shifter and the bushings. Let me know!

mp3wannabe May-3rd-2003 06:42 PM

sorry, that was a typo, i have fixed it, but since you pointed it out to me i can give you the lower price of 100 for both. sorry bout that.

TurboTodd May-3rd-2003 10:03 PM

Jon

Thanks for the PM giving me the heads up for this GP. Wife drove a Mazdaspeed Protege today and she really liked the shifter, and I told her I had thought about getting her a short shifter..

Anyway.. curious about the $100 shifter and bushing combo. Looking at the prices above, and your edit, if you buy the shifter and bushing combo you don't get a break at $105 (85+20) but if you buy the shifter and knob, you save $5? (105<85+25).

I'd be down like a clown (charlie b....b.....brown) at $100 for a shifter and bushing. Let me know, and the $ is just a paypal away.

Thanks,
Todd

mp3wannabe May-3rd-2003 11:35 PM

yeah thats fine, i think i'll correct the combo price to be 100 instead....

TurboTodd May-4th-2003 12:27 PM

Jon-

Check PM's

Thanks, Todd

ESsedan01 May-5th-2003 11:25 AM

sileighty21 May-8th-2003 10:13 AM

i just sent you $80 through paypal for my shifter. sorry it took a while to pay, but as i said, i swear on the protege i will, and i did. sorry, no freebie 1st gen pro for you. thanks a bunch. also, any rough idea of when i will get it, i live in minnesota.

mp3wannabe May-8th-2003 01:33 PM

i got your payment, I will ship it out to you tomorrow, so you will have it in your grubby hands monday or tuesday.

sileighty21 May-8th-2003 01:35 PM

rock on, thanks a bunch. i'll let ya know how it works in a first gen

sileighty21 May-13th-2003 04:21 PM

this shifter is the shiznito. i highly recommend it. even in the first gens. super easy installation, took about 40mins. i really like the shorter throws. it is 3inches shorter than the stock first gen shifter. now i gotta get a new shift boot, mine just looks goofy now.

shackmgr6073 May-13th-2003 08:18 PM

probaly too late for a complete kit, right?? If not, just let me know. I am definitely in the market for one. God I love tax return time!!! So far this year I have put on my Eibachs, tinted, and done some painting. This is getting very addictive.

mp3wannabe May-13th-2003 11:49 PM

i've still got the bushings and the knobs here if you want them, but no on the shifters.

slieghty: good to know that it works well in a first gen. have fun with it!

SedanMan May-19th-2003 09:54 PM

mp3wannabe May-20th-2003 07:38 AM

thanks guys!

I still have 2 bushings and a couple of knobs. If you want either of these things pm me and i'll give you a good price, especially if you want both.

pauche May-20th-2003 01:52 PM

I just sent you an email... I am interested in a set of shifter bushings. Please email me when you have a chance.

Thanks
Paul

mp3wannabe May-21st-2003 09:05 PM

thanks paul, your bushings are on their way to you.

doctor_r May-22nd-2003 11:43 AM

So what do you have left now??? any bushings and knobs???

mp3wannabe May-22nd-2003 01:33 PM

still have black or hard knobs, and one set of bushings

doctor_r May-22nd-2003 02:22 PM

do you know of anyone who deals the kartboy stuff and ships to Canada??? I would be interested in a hard knob and the bushings, but I would want a shifter too.... I was looking at the TWM kit for $129, would anyone know if there is a lot of difference (pro/con) of either one??? TWM will ship to canada as well.

pauche May-24th-2003 11:38 AM

doctor_r,

there are very few vendors that ship kartboy products to canada... I am very fortunate to come across this thread as I was looking for kb shifter bushings. THANKS JON!

I purchased the twm 1st gen shifter (not installed yet) directly from twm... I haven't tried a kb shifter so I can't say which is better. But I believe there has been a thread that compares the stock, twm and KB shifters... try a search.

Later
P

sileighty21 May-27th-2003 03:33 PM

hey all, here are two pics of the kartboy short shifter installed on a first gen pro. i used my stock knob, fits perfect. i cut the boot cuz it was just too tall, i know it may look ghetto, but it works for now.
