DIY modified Short Shifter for Wira/Satria/Putra

[khguan]

There are many types of short shifter in the market nowadays.. n most of them cost around rm140 and above... some even have adjustable pivot points.

I have been using an aftermarket short shifter for a period of time... i have compared the physical thing with the original one sided by side, the difference is the raised pivot point that makes the shift throw shorter...

so i checked on the internet for other sources of short shifters in the internet n i have gather enough information to mod my own original shifter... wanto DIY mah..

so heres my version of short shifter... it cost me RM30 to do all de cutting n welding on the shifter..

cool short shifter mod :)

anyone thinking of doing DIY sequential gear shifting (like f1 and rally cars)? could be done using powerful servos or solenoids and some electronics. just a thought...

hi khguan,
i had already visit your web...
can i ask you that the modified L.E.D bulb with normal light bulb stand.know what i mean...?
if yes,where are you fix it??fog lamp or.....?
hear you soon....

 

[khguan]

i use them at de side bumper light there... looks nice...

but one piece already burnt... looks like de voltage is not fully matching...

 

[simefly]

You can also try to use it as the reverse light.... looks nice too man....

khguan: maybe you should add another LED to cope with the voltage fluctuations

 

[simefly]

Oh yeah... forgot to mention... NICE DIY man but where do you go to do the drilling and soldering???

 

[khguan]

simefly,

yeah.. i have tot of adding another LED in de pairs of 4 making it 10 LED bulb... i also tot of using de same config but add in a LM7812 regulator IC... anyway dat DIY put aside 1st lar...

huh?? driling?? no drilling involve ah... just cutting n welding... done at an engineering firm...

 

[simefly]

oh hehehe ...sorry wrong use of words... i was thinking of something else for a while...
it suppose to be cutting and welding.... my bad..

I do not have my tools readily available with me at this point in time... but as soon as i get back by CNY, then i will start LED-ing my whole car - including the signal lights and small lights hehehe... Then planning to add-in HID for the finish and most expensive effect.

Hehehe

khguan, ur led bulb fail because car work on 12-14.4...not really 12..so ur led will be stressed..

 

[khguan]

yah... i know... i think i should use a LM7812 regulator IC... but later lar.. dat DIY is expensive ah...

Kguan,u forget to make the shifting rod slants to driver side.

 

[khguan]
