This is insane. Lets see 30!

[sdmf]

now we know who's rocking the 5 speed

[marcus]

i think nst can give us a better price than $90 usd.. i figure their cost and labor should be less than $20 usd but i could be wrong.

[marcus]

id say $2500.00 for 30 orders sounds like a doable deal!!

[ChinoCharles]

What are we, some greedy country club kids? You think CNC machines grow on trees? Its the cheapest SSK on the market. Be happy.

[marcus]

happy enuff for you...lolz..

[YarisGuy]

Come on man, are you serious? Have you seen how much the other shifters cost? Did TRD come out here and offer you a cheap group buy? Did TWM do something like this for us?

You are getting a piece that is cheaper than every other one and you are even getting free shipping to Canada!

I'm sure NST loves to see our "low-ball" replies. Keep it up so that one of our best sponsors decides to leave yarisworld. Go buy from one of the other companies if you don't like the GB price!

Before you start your flame wars, this is not an insult or disrespect. It's 100% fact and is not something I wrote out of my ass!

[kurokoma-kun]

Don't forget about R+D costs. There's a ton of development work to be done before a part hits the CNC machine (I work for a manufacturing company that makes rubber and plastic parts; creating CAD drawings, prototyping and testing account for a major portion of operating costs).

I think we are getting a bargain imho, though I would not turn down a discount!

Like the fact they still to this day probaly haven't made a dime of this piece,yet I'm sure they have many hours invested in its design/production/planning. So right now technicaly they are in the hole on the shifter. My 2c

Ding Ding Ding, and we have a winner

Come on guys, you should be supporting one of yarisworld's best sponsors instead of trying to complain and low-ball. This attitude is the kind of thing that drives companies to go and build products for Hondas instead of us Toyota owners. And then we stand around wondering what happend

I'm all for a cheaper alternative (I was one of those that bought the TRD one) but aren't you guys overstating things a little about R&D and all?

It looks for all intents and purposes like a TRD part, except you get a choice of colour?

Like I said, $90 shipped beats $141 plus shipping anytime, and its hidden away in the engine bay, and should feel the same, so it doesn't matter if its TRD or NST, but one would sure feel the difference of 50 bucks in their pocket.

I only wish they'd put it out earlier, I would have bought an NST instead.

I'm sure they had it easy "taking some notes" from the trd design,I think some people don't realise that the first few sold aren't even for profit,they typicaly cover overhead. Thats why they needed 14 I bet,thats the turning point that they probaly start to get some money out of it. We are baisicly all investors,and in return we get a product at a better price than normal,we will be the first 25-?? people in the world to get them too. I'm not saying we should or should not get a bigger discount,as I would be happy to get one,I'm cheap like most people.

[marcus]

whoah easy there amigos.. got no problem with the price it is cheaper than trd.. but the $2500.00 per 30 order on comes up to about $83.00 ..its still exceptional.. just trying to save you guys sum money....

[TheCutsman]

Damnit!! I can't resist. I'm gonna go broke but what a steal compared to the TRD pricing. Also how does this go down? Never done a group buy before. Will he just tell us when to pay and stuff??
