The shafts are done, we just need to pin them and make the plastic peices. The pivot boxes are first stage complete just need the 4th axis work done. I think mid week. How's that, and there will be plenty to go around.
I might be able to do some work on them Sunday to speed them up. It's raining again here, we So Cal folks don't know how to function in the wet.
I know all you North East folks feel for us don't ya?
We'll probably get a whole big inch of rain. That's enough to stall the whole city.
I mean if I had to go across town for material you could forget it. The freeway is a parking lot. As if it wasn't normally

I have tested Gomez prototype. It is extremely good. Precise shift and bloody short. I think the distance between 1st and 3rd is shorter too!
I can feel the difference from the moment of 2nd gear.
I don't feel any of the rattle other lucky owner have mention. It maybe a little, but my euthoric brain could not detect it.
Hymee, give me an email and quote when you have got some. RP, keep us in touch...
Waiting....
Taka

For the sceptical Euro-customers, I wish to point out that :
- the price before tax for Europe is a price imposed by Hymee that is identical to the price in Australia (and probably US). The difference in price comes from the EU import taxes and VAT and other subtleties coming from the import shipping costs. So I don't see how you could get them cheaper directly from US!
- in case of any trouble, you'd get full support from me. However, don't expect ANY support for a part that was not sold by me. Also, I'll only apply the Hymee warranty policy for this item if it is supplied by me.
Don't hesitate to contact me for more info or technical questions. I''m replying to all e-mails very rapidly.
Cheers,
Fabrice

Does anyone want a DIY on this? Got most of the pics already. Might save on trawling through the thread to chase down the info....

Yes, Gomez I want one. I've been trying to figure out a way to get all your posts into a common paper. And add a couple of the tips and pics from others.
Of you can do that I'd like to include it with the kit. If I may. I will of course give you credit.

Bad gear feeling in my opinions are STi, Alfa Romeos, 350Z, etc... I never like any of them. Even my old Integra R.
Even I prefer Lotus Exege's over some of the Ferrari's - so it is not just quality. It is feel. I like a particular tie and you don't like. I like to invade a ***** that you don't like *(bad analogy). It is very personal to me.
Good luck - a good thing is 'mez is first on your line and I can test it. If it is as good as half of your personality, I will buy a ticket to the US and rip one off your hand

Now Taka, I understand you ordered one from Hymee. You were supposed to buy a ticket and come and get. Just kidding, I saw this post and couldn't resist because you said that you were going to try Gomez first and that is exactly what you did.
Good on you, your a man of honor.

Taka you and Gomez are to blame for my spending spree , i hope the RP short shifter is compatible with Hymees Supercharger :D
