Diesel Geek Short Shifter

supertom9903 · #1 (**permalink**) 10-05-2003, 08:09 PM

Hey guys. I was looking into getting a dieselgeek short shifter. I was on their website and I saw that you only need 5 people and you'll get a 15% discount. So, it would be about $119. It's the best short throw on the market for VW's. They have a 30% reduction in all 4 ways. Yep, side to side reduction also. It's a pretty sweet deal. I hope you guys are interested so we can save a few bucks.

I'm interested.. Although check how the GB will work I know several people had problems with seeing this groupbuy through because they would have to be the focal point to recieve all the money then send it to DG, then recieve all the units then reship them to everyone then recieve back all the core and ship them back to DG.. Just FYI.

I'll email them and see what has to be done. Thanks for the heads up!

Could we get a better discount if we round up more than five people? I would be interested possibly, see if I can get some early B-day monies......

While the Audi SS is a great value, it only is about 15% reduction and it is only front to back. I have driven cars with both shifters and the Dieselgeek is truly awesome, but very notchy. This is great for the track, but some people may not like the notchiness for daily driving.

With that said, I may get in on this one.... [img]images/smiles/icon_razz.gif[/img] Let me think about this for a bit and for now you get a free bump.

OK, here's the deal, I talked to Mike from Dieselgeek, and IMustar337 is right. It would have to be ordered from one person and shipped to one person, then distributed from that person. Which probably wouldn't really be that big of a problem. Also, we could get a 20% discount with 15 or more people, but I doubt that's going to happen.

So, let me get a clean tally on who's in for the 15th of the month. That's payday for everyone right? Or would the 1st be better?

Still interested (I'm a for sure). I'm not sure if my request will make this group buy more difficult or eazier but I retain all my stock parts so I won't be shipping a core back to you. Ask Mike, if you can, how that will work?? I have money in hand ready for this GB. I'd love to wait and see if we could get the 15 peeps needed but I doubt we will. Come on guys let us know.

I have another buyer if this thing is ever going to go thru.. Although the lack of feedback makes me think it won't.

supertom9903 · #11 (**permalink**) 10-16-2003, 04:22 AM

YEAH, I DON'T THINK WE'RE GOING TO GET THE INTEREST NEEDED. SORRY DUDE
