New Shift Kit Developed

[wannarace928]

I've put quite a few miles on my teal now with mixed city/highway driving and everything is still perfect.

My ebony will be getting its transmission fixed soon, and I plan having the QC installed on it as well.

[poweredx2]

I plan on getting a prm intake also and a few other mods,wheelspin is in check,all my front tires have a threadware rating 0f at least 200,plus I have some new track lite rims I need to try out,hoping to hit a low 9.5 in the 1/8 mile on motor.The QC alone should give me a tenth,right now I'm around a 9.64 with a 2.2 60ft.If all else fell I still have some drag radials in storage.

The poetry I've just labored through on both sides (both forums) is a waste of my time, as is this nonsense about who is posting what. What ever happened to "I agree to disagree". Sorry if I offend anyone. Flame each other in PM's and leave the rest of us out of this, please.

BS, crap, flaming, and hatchets are not involved here. Technical talk to the point, most certainly is. If the contrived technical content of some the text bores you, pass it by.

The issue/point is that information regarding both the operating principle and the design of the "QC", has been put before members incorrectly, Both describe a commercial product offered here, for monetary gain. This is matter important and worthy of exact confirmation.

There is nothing I hate more than someone putting a box around another product, placing a sticker on it, and selling it for a large profit instead of helping out the community.

Bad form

Trevor goes, I go.

[immortal_suby]

Accusations are all I see. Replied to with a picture and explanation of the originality of the kit. The latter being unanswered. I believe the bad form lies with the stone thrower.

[BRADY]

I am buying one.

Thanks for putting in the work to get it to the stage that it can be sold and installed with relative ease.

The post was answered, but along with all my other posts it has been removed. The bosses have decreed that I have no right of reply or query. None of the posts taken down included anything which in fact broke the posted rules.

I have no expectations that this one will survive very long.

As I pointed out in the previous post, I am under fire and censorship from the rulers here. Right of reply has been denied me. I have been accused of telling lies, but the post involved has been removed, thus denying me of the relative defensive evidence.

I posted on the SVX World Forums, under the pseudonym "Faster", without disclosing my name. This is common practice as will be disclosed here within the members profiles, and is in no way dishonest.

It is now on record that the administration here co-operated with the rival site, which I have described as grubby for good reason, in tracing my identity. In this intrigue they provided records from this site, so that a match could be established. This information was exactly published on the grubby site but has since been removed.

One expects these sorts of record to be kept private and secure. I hold those involved in contempt. This post will probably disappear as did a thread I started titled, Posts by Trevor, which included evidence of criticism and interference from an administrator. My only hope is that it was read by a few, before removal.

There are facts/circumstances which members have a right to be made aware of. However this place is now run contrary to principles the world holds dear to the U.S. Opposing a dictatorship can lead towards a quick end and it is possible that this may be my fate. If so be sure that it was agaist my wishes.

I may be old, but I am not stupid much less senile.

Sincerely, Trevor.

See my last comment below before you jump to unfounded conclusions.

In reference to the above two quotes, the posts debating this have been re-instated HERE.

In reference to the above two posts. I agree with Matt (immortal_suby) here. Trevor, you offer nothing but conjecture and assumptions when it comes to Harvey's product. If you are SO SURE that he has done what you said and you TRULY wanted to help the community rather than harm Harvey you would purchase one of these, and dissect it for your proof. Until you do this, your claims hold no merit. All you do by continuing your baseless assumptions and accusations is discredit yourself. So by all means, carry on.

I respect most of the opinions given here this site. Trevor has some good points. Harvey as well! Criticism, I have learned is good but can do a lot of damage. In that respect, I feel that Trevor should be allowed to 'carry-on' what he does.

In the meantime, Harvey, please just let your product prove itself out. Sometimes, a product can answer more questions than the maker of the product itself. The dyno plot I saw is awesome. It can scare some people off depending on how people interpret it. Despite the Level 10 hydrosystem I have, I STILL plan on getting your product. My $$$ isn't quite right at the moment, which is actually rare for me. I actually can't wait to get it though. It doesn't matter if you started it from scratch or rebranded it. My take on that is that even if it is something available for other people in some way shape or form, it sure as hell was not reported available all these years, let along used. Kudos for making this kit available for people.


There is a lot to be learned here. I am a huge fan of testing things out and reporting the actual results, instead of speculation and theory. Things are looking positive at the moment with little or no negative results. Let's hope it stays that way.

If anyone has the $$$, resources or time to test out what Trevor suggests, please do so. He may be offering invaluable information. No need to pit both ideas against each other when both can be built, tested and compared. Report results and keep moving. Thanks for listening/reading.

If the product works well then great. If it doesn't then I'm sure revision 2 would correct those issues. Everyone who buys it understands theres a potential risk or side effect, just like all products on the market.

I like my QC shift kit. It is very controllable. When you need it to shift quickly it does just that. Other than that its very smooth under normal driving.

Thank you Tim. Sane logical words, amongst much else containing little fact.

It should be noted that throughout all of this, I have never suggested that the "QC" will not, or does not work. I have in fact put considerable effort into supporting Harvey's suggestion of possible increased power at the wheels, for a short time during gear changes. It is confirmed that I am the only one contributing here, or elsewhere, who knows exactly how the "QC" works.

The quite severe argument concerning side effects, has been exclusively addressed by Harvey and another member.

As can be seen in the picture it bares the Slick Shift logo both on the silk screen, and copper sides.

I now demand an apology of the same prominence as the slanderous accusations.

Trevor goes, I go.

I think Harvey just gave some pretty good proof that he designed the system and is in fact NOT using another companies design.

If what essentially is common everyday business practice bothers you, you might not want to buy anything again. No doubt, you've got things that are copies of other products on your own car (the hood with scoop perhaps?).

Not everyone can spend countless hours designing and building something and then not want to market it.....

(Put together an exact copy of your turbo setup and I'll buy it tomorrow, if you sell it at zero profit just so you can help out a fellow forum member)

Ask LAN to sell you a St2 kit for ZERO profit......it'll never happen. Ask Dayle to sell you an o2 sensor for the same price that I get better brand o2's for.

In all honesty, the "Trevor goes, I go." ending of your post is infact bad form.

Don't take my post for more than what it is. I'm not here to stir up trouble with you or other members, I just don't like the one-sided posts and constant flaming. I'd like people to take a step back and look at it from a different perspective.

I too, would have liked to have more info on the QC than what was initially given. Harvey didn't post about it right away, and that's fine with me. He would have came here when he wanted to.

I would also still like a few more questions answered before I decide on spending money or not. In all honesty, not everything has really been laid out in black and white on a marketing stand point. I think this is what is throwing alot of people off, this is NOT a forum member creating something JUST to help the community. This needs to be viewed as a businessman trying to market something he has invested time and money into. Much like LAN with ECUtune.

If you expect Harvey to give away EVERY little secret and even design plans, while still selling it to you for no profit, ask LAN to do the same and see how far you get in that conversation.......

I hope no one took offense, just stating my opinion on the matter.

As there is some conjecture about the originality of my Quick Change, I have dug out some old photos of the development.

http://www.subaru-svx.net/photopost/...t&limit=recent
The four stages (top left) show the research model that I made to develop the action that was needed to do the job that I wanted. This unit used a 1 of 10 chip to allow me to experiment with the change process.

Top right is the first working design, superseded by bottom left that is the model. That Jason and Tina are using, they were built on circuit boards that hand etched.

Bottom right is the final production model.

http://www.subaru-svx.net/photopost/...t&limit=recent
Second photo is of the research model in my car, this was in about Feb 2007

http://www.subaru-svx.net/photopost/...t&limit=recent
http://www.subaru-svx.net/photopost/...t&limit=recent
Third and fourth photos show the unit that has been in my car since April 2007, it is still doing service in my car now. As you can see it is an early working circuit, built on a punched board, before I etched a Printed board. The circuitry is the same, it just developed into the production one, that is the Quick Change now.

Harvey.
