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 ****.

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

xnevergiveinx

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

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

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
