ok, so i wanted to see if a weighted shifter **** would actually make the difference. i'll be getting the twm short shifter soon and i wanted to know if the weighted **** was actually worth the extra $80+

at work we have these weights that we use on our scales to make sure they are accurate. i checked one out...turns out it actually screws right onto the scion shifter rod.
man, it looks like crap! and it's not really conformatable either...but heres whats good. this weight weighs 1 full pound...thats heavier than i've seen any of the weighted ***** at twm.
so, does it make a difference? well, with the stock shifter...not too much of one, certainly not worth the money. it helps it slide into gears better. i'll have to see when i get my short shifter. for now, i'll just stick with my stock shifter ****.

 

ummm...

 

wtf.....

 

haha i thought it was funny....

 

What a waste! You made it seem like you were building up to something good lol.

 

why is this power hungry?

it's like i hung a 1 pound weight from my gas pedal so my car could go faster.

 

Cool experiment. Always research before spending money.

So stop hating on the guy - he did a good job.

 

i'm not hating on him. but i don't understand how this was supposed to add power (see the name of this forum) and really what was explained with the post.

 

hah good ****. you should paint it and market it! someone on the Honduh forumz might buy it

 

i put it in power hungry because this is the forum that you find stuff about short shifters...

thanks for getting it and having a good laugh

 

lol god everyone assumes i'm always being a dick when i'm just trying to ask questions and figure stuff out.

i guess i ignore the s-shifter posts or something.. sorry to rain on the xparadex

 

You start with the 1lb shifter, then you move on to 5lbsand eventually 10lbs. Its the tC Workout Plan!

 

i smell reality tv

 

Greddy makes a 1lb weighted shift ****...it sells for only 32 bucks at www.optauto.com

 

post the link!!!!

 

It was an experiment, guys.. he's not using that as his shifter but to see whether or not a weighted shift **** is worth the money.

Apparently, it isn't for 80~ bucks.

And it's not really like a weighted gas pedal... You could probably push your foot down faster than gravity... Anyways, I think it fits in Power Hungry not because of gained power but because it allows quicker shifting or was supposed to. Remember, this is NOT his shifter but a test dummy shifter. In anycase, quicker shifting is supposed to gain a few tenths of a second in acceleration or something.. It really doesn't BELONG anywhere but it belongs here more than drag coefficient..

 

The TWM Classic **** actually weighs 1lb. 16.01oz (454g), to be exact.

And any weighted **** will make a huge difference.

 

weighted ***** are weighted specifically to go into the shift, they arent just heavier...

 

this is pretty nifty. i have wondered it was really worth the money, but i guess you will actuallt find out when the short shifter comes in
