Wouldn't it be a lot easier for you to ask them if you can become a dealer? It seems like there are already at least 2 potential customers in this thread. I phoned with them when ordering mine, so if you are interested I could help you with contact details.

hopefully it has similar travel distance/feel to the CAE

I'm assuming the shaft/shift knob area is aluminum? Curious how hot it would be after sitting in the sun for a while since a different knob obviously isn't an option.

in my MR2 when I had a black aluminum ball knob (stupid idea, I quickly switched that out) I used a brake reservoir sock over it when parking. I learned my lesson when I basically burned my palm trying to reverse out of the parking spot (reverse was really hard to get into and needed some force).

Yes, the whole assembly is aluminum. It's very lightweight, I can imagine that it could get hot, but given that it doesn't feel like it has a lot of mass my guess is that it would cool equally fast.

Pretty cool option to the CAE. Not sure about the bracket design - with that geometry it looks like it would flex much more than the CAE, CAE is rock solid in feel...like SOLID with zero hint of any movement when the shifter is put into gear. One difference, beside the much thicker walls of the shifting mechanism in the CAE, is there is a reverse lockout stop adjustment on the CAE and not one on the IRP.
Would really be interested on how the IRP compares to the CAE in shifting feel.

Unmodifiable and metal knob might make usability issue indeed. Of course, if one considers just and only track use with gloves, not so much, but i guess that most will still put on way longer mileage during dailydriving outside track. Would be nice to see it customised with some delrin(?) cover around knob to increase "normal" driving comfort/usability, imho shouldn't increase price too much.

The one key difference I see between the two shifters is the centering spring on the CAE shifter that brings the shifter back to neutral when you pull it out of gear, which I see the IRP does not have. I too would really like to see how the two shifters compare in shifting feel. |

I ordered some spare parts yesterday and hopefully will get it installed over the weekend. I don't know if the parts are actually needed or not. But someone made a DIY on the German forum and recommended changing them. My car is 3 years old but low mileage. Probably it's not really necessary. But as I don't want to get stuck in the middle of the install I ordered them too.
It's just some small stuff for a few bucks only. As the bill is lying here on the table next to me I'll might as well list the part numbers: Rubber boot (Subaru: 35016CA020 Toyota: SU003-00881) - 14.88€ O-Ring (Subaru: 35035CA020 Toyota: SU003-04101) - 1.24€ Split (Subaru: 35057CA010 Toyota: SU003-00898) - 3.30€ Washer (Subaru: 35038CA010 Toyota: SU003-00892) - 2.08€ As a rough guideline, I guess you can convert € to $ 1:1.

I never saw the CAE shifter in person and was wondering what the purpose of the spring was. Thanks for clearing that up. Stock shifter doesn't return to neutral either so the question is how much a difference it makes during actual shifting. Maybe it's just for easier getting into neutral? Obviously, I won't be able to compare but I'll keep that in mind as well when driving it and report if it would feel like something I would be missing.
