This is my 100'th posting. Hobby needed.

Bounced

Hello all, I've been interested in sequential shift lights for some time, and along the way some others have shown interest. After looking around quite a bit, and with Shaohaok's help, I have one of the better deals on a product. The firm is located in Melbourne, and they are more than happy to support local car clubs. The details: We are looking at the Ecliptech Shift-i. Regular retail price is $165 for the green/amber/red and $176 for the blue red. A group buy of 5 or more attracts a 10% discount; however, they are offering a price of $148.50 for either. Postage is $12, however, 4 units may be packed into 1 box to save postage costs. Keep in mind that we have the meet in Sydney coming up, and if we ask nicely, perhaps one of the few coming up from Melb can pick them up, and deliver to those attending the meet. They are happy for us to pay as a group or individually, and they accept CC, EFT and money order. Product Features: Long story short (for those who want to know), shift lights flash at designated RPM values to let you know your final shift point. A sequential shift allows you to set an end point (shift point) AND a start point, so you can customise when all 7 lights come on. So instead of one light, you get the benefit of having 7, spaced out RPM lights flashing on. The Shift-i: Automatically dims at night Monitors battery voltage function You can set shift points without revving the engine It can plug directly into ECU pinout Cruise mode dimming (if you set your initial point low and are constantly above it, the light will dim after a minute) There are 4 designs to choose from; 2 have different light colours, and there are 2 different shapes (flat and rounded). You can see the different ones at http://www.ecliptech.com.au/main_win_sep06.html Here are some photos: Please PM if you're interested, or want more information. Cheers!

Any ideas on cost and postage? What is the most we can be expected to pay, and how do other similar product compare... Thanks

Change of plans. I will be arriving in Berryland on the 7th, my bewdiful rolla underneath me. I'm not sure what time I will arrive, but I will be there. If you see me, give a hoot!

...and I have patients lined up all monday and most of tuesday. Too far for me to comfortably travel and still be sane by the end. Mind you, I finish work for the easter break on tuesday arvo... Some timing, eh? Have fun guys, take lots of photos.

Bump Anyone had success with the cards, or have they faded away into the distance?

Not much change from $900, NOT including postage.

I will be somewhere in canberra on sat 7th April. Problem is I wont have a car, so if someone would be so gracious to be my driver until my sister comes down in her rolla, i would be eternally grateful. At the very least, a casual howdy would be appreciated! I'll be booking my ticket (bus or train) very soon. I guess I'll just have to show you photos of my stivo...

Will there still be one early April?

Thank you xoom for answering my question indirectly re sticking stuff outside the bonnet. Thought it might work.

That's beautiful work. Lovely. Wish you well to use it!

Would it no be cheaper to mount the SC high and do something with the bonnet - ie cut a hole in it / scoop etc? That way one can avoid the need to move jibbly bits around.

Righty-ho It'll probably be moe August before I can get myself (let along others) together, but I will announce something

Either way the car photo'ed is hotness personified. I wish I could get my SpEcho to look like that!

I'm with your line of reasoning on that one, Tayles. I asked a Toyota doody a few months ago what the story was regarding airbag-friendly seat covers, and his reply was simply.... a shrug. There are no airbags inside the seat (or you would be catapulted out the car) There are no airbags right underneath the seat (unless you drive KITT, in which case try spot your house) Anyway, I don't think the average seat cover would stand up to the force of an airbag. Surely, for the most part, it would just rip it aside?

yeh nice rolla THERE WAS A CAR PHOTO???? Where??? :P

Welcome. Im still trying to figure out whether I miss Fremantle or not... naaaaah.
