Also I'll throw this one out there too. It was a very small piece that Rosey and I both designed, and Rosey machined from Aluminum. It's a small shifter linkage piece that can be used to make a shorter shifter assembly for a CD009 transmission. There's shops selling shorter shifter assemblies for the CD009, but they range in price from $230-$350. They are out the door solutions which is great, but for people on a tight budget that don't mind a little DIY action, they can use this piece to make a homebrew shorter shifter setup for around $70. Thanks again for the help creating this Rosey!!

Here are some pics of the small little linkage piece. And then all they do is buy a 240sx short shifter off eBay ($40-$60). Then they just cut a few inches off the base, drill two new holes, and use this fitting to couple it to the trans shaft.

Well kind of a cool update. I'm officially done selling those front air damn / cooling plates. After selling right around 60 sets or so over the course of a year, I officially sold the design to Real St. They are taking over that design / manufacture / sales of those particular parts completely. Was fun I actually made something people wanted to buy, and that a big company like Real St. saw the potential and bought the design!

Very true. I didn't just sell th em the design though. I gave them my manufacturer contacts snd pretty much everything I had figured out over the course of 8 orders, like pricing, standard packaging, fastener info, proven margins, etc. So they literally don't have to figure anything out, they take over a already pretty much a complete product from start to finish.
