(there are instructions in the box ) Also if we can get pre-orders for 5 sets I will go ahead and make them. My laser guy is doing me a favor cutting and bending these he is usually doing high volume runs, set up time is where the expense comes in. let me know what you guys think.. Vince

I am currently out of them. I would do another batch if I could get some committed buyers. Vince

I've been slacking in the social media department, I have a personal IG page. Perhaps I can get one going that is purely dedicated to my work.

anyone got a 10 second lgt running a stock trans on here???

I have 3 or 4 sets out in use right now, A_A_Ron has a very detailed write up of the install.

Great Idea! I need to find a popular Youtuber with a 5th gen or 15+ wrx.

Bump not sure if I need to go a different route about advertising these plates. 0 sales through ebay so far. https://www.ebay.com/itm/253523921512

No worries I can totally relate! Thanks for the update!! I believe I have 5 or 6 sets left You got these will definitely help hold the power!!

what happened to all the interest in these plates? price too high? only 2 sets have sold. I'll let the remaining sets I have go for $360 shipped buyer covers pp fees or gifts it.

I contacted a couple local guys that do thin laser work, no word back yet though...

Plates are back from powder and look great! I am now accepting payments. Ebo03's set got sent out today. 4 sets are still available/ unspoken for. PM or email me vdahlae@gmail.com for order/ payment details.

Looking online at 15+ wrx transmissions the castings do appear to be very similar.

My goal has always been to keep the costs down. The price of 390 shipped is the best I can do right now. This new design has a bit more welding and fab time involved than the original plates. Purchasing/ modifying the shift cable brackets added a bit onto the cost. Being a trial run all the standoffs were made by hand on a manual lathe which ate up quite a bit of time/ cost. I am in contact with a local small company that does cnc turning work, if the demand is still there after these plates sell, I will pony up for a lifetime inventory of standoffs and pass the savings onto you guys.

I will update this post as they sell. Working on becoming a HBV to get a more organized group buy. From the first batch of 7 1. ebo03 paid shipped 2. islandborn spoken for 3. GTEASER spoken for 4. paid shipped not sure of member name 5. 6. 7.

Thanks again for the order we are down to 6 sets for the original batch. Having all the fixtures/ hard work done it wont be an issue to run more sets from here on out. I'll see what I can do to get a group buy started, any mods I should talk to or a rule list to follow? above is my paypal email and I no longer have access to that yahoo account, best way to get in contact is on here via pm or vdahlae@gmail.com WOOHOO!

Thank you, I will see what I can do on getting some stainless logo's cut out. It died so others may live... Thank you again! Wouldn't of been possible without having an empty case to throw on the CMM. Sounds like a plan, I just need to come up with something cool :cool:

Jared pulled through and got a prototype set installed in his car. They fit with no issues. He did an excellent write up on the install seen here http://legacygt.com/forums/showthread.php/vr001-transmission-blast-plate-install-268339.html?t=268339 I have 7 sets completed going to powder coat this week. I also sourced bolts so threaded rod is not required. These plates were a bit more involved to manufacture and had added costs due extra laser cut parts and having to source oem shift cable brackets to modify. Forum price will be 390 shipped to your door, I do international shipping but at buyers expense.

Bump! Still on the lookout for a test subject, I may have a friend convinced to let me tear his car apart not sure yet.

Lol I appreciate the offer, It was a guy out in Virginia, the shop he had his work done at said they were going to install them but some service manager rushed his car off the lift and never put them on, so i wouldn't say it was his fault. Also the trans will need to get dropped, I have seen people put holes in their firewall to get the job done but don't recommend it unless you really want to I ended up purchasing an exploded 6mt for fitment testing and have confirmed that, but need someone to install the transmission in their car with the plates on and let me know if their are any clearance issues between the plates and the trans tunnel, I am pretty confident they will clear but want to be 100% pm'd back

Are any of you guys are doing clutch/ trans work soon? I Have another prototype set I'll let go for cheap. I need someone that can confirm the fitment on their car for me relatively quick. I sent a set to a guy over 2 months ago but never got the feedback I needed. Vince

I was leaning towards going that route, I just ordered 5 each of both shift cable brackets.

Fixed!

Welder is back, I did some work this weekend and finished a couple prototype sets, using grade 10.9 threaded rod instead of bolts for now. The design I went with requires modification of both shift cable brackets. I will be including the upper modified shift cable bracket and have instructions on how to modify the lower cable bracket to clear the plate which is a less involved mod (Angle grinder work) unless you guys would prefer having a complete kit with both modified brackets let me know! I have a set getting powder coated and should be getting installed this week so we will know if there are any trans tunnel clearance issues. Time to make it happen Vince

Here they are. http://i.imgur.com/6mIFxAC.jpg http://i.imgur.com/8sE61Sl.jpg http://i.imgur.com/94JQMFo.jpg I am half way through making 8 sets of spacers, and am getting a quote on the new bolts.
