I am considering machining STS's for the Scion xB 2nd-Gen. I am trying to gage the market. I have designed for both TRD and Nismo. Because I can private label, these will be more aggressive in the performance, 50% reduction instead of 30%, and lower price compared to factory parts.

Is any one interested or are there too many STS's on the market already???

 

Off topic, but i'm wishing I had your job. lol

 

What exactly are sts's

 

I believe it a short throw shifter if I saw correctly in another post

 

I like my job but I'm a one man design and manufacturing shop and it ain't easy to make a living. Shown below is some stuff I've done in the past couple of years. TRD sells the product for WAY TOO much and then pays me WAY TOO little and now they want their vendors to cover everything and they cover nothing.

Top left shows Billet Bar Stock, 1st op and below complete Cable Extender for xB Gen 2 which also fits the tC


Top right shows Billet Bar Stock, 1st op and below complete Pivot for xB Gen 2 which also fits the tC


Craft Boxes, TRD Barcode Labels, TRD Graphic Box Labels, and STS's for 2009 xB Gen 2, 2009 2.4 Corolla, 2009 2.4 Matrix, tC, 2006 Matrix, 2009 Lexus IS 250 F Sport, 2009 xD, and the Yaris. These are then packaged and shipped to TRD.

 

How exspensive are these going to be? Any group buys?

 

im in if you make them more aggressive then stock

I understand, I just learned how to do machining and no one around my area hires. I loves to cut me some metal and design cool things.

 

These will be more aggressive in performance, 50% reduction instead of the factory design specs which are limited to 30%.

 

I'd be interested with the more agressive throw, of course dependent on price.

 

I will keep price to 95 bucks including shipping within the US.

 

what is the eta on this sweet piece of win

 

I could start CNC machining them tomorrow.

 

I am in any way to get a tester deal if I do a diy and stuff show it in action things of that sort?

 

How about a deal for buying one as soon as they come out haha?

 

I'm in the process of looking for a member around Disneyland, CA
