Wireless RF tiptronic paddle shifter

[markj113]

After making up my first one and running it on my car without any problems I have decided to make a few in very limited numbers (depending on final sale price).

I have put the first one on ebay to get a feel what people are willing to pay to see if its worth my while producing any more..

You will need an aftermarket steering wheel and boss to fit.

p.s. Im a member of the UK fto owners club, will post to Ireland at cost price.

Interesting, guys have been working on similar systems for a few years with limited success. Is there any additional delay using RF as a transmission medium?

[markj113]

havent noticed any delay. the RF transmitter range is 600ft and in the car the distance needed is about 2ft so I suppose there may be a few milliseconds delay but nothing you can actually tell.

Works just as quick as using the tip stick.

Not on an FTO AFAIK - as the fuel line runs from the bottom of the tank.

those look cool. why RF rather than just hard wiring them in? do they turn with the wheel or something?

[Muad_dib77]

Brilliant looking device.. do you by chance have a small video of it in action - I'd love to see this work..

Fair play for coming up with the idea and following through with a product..

Top class!
(I drive a manual, sorry wont be placing an order - I still think it's deadly though!)

Maybe you could do a Tip conversion Muad - dump that old fashioned Manual box for a paddle shift!

The paddle shifter bolts between the hub and the wheel so turns with the wheel (just like all the other fto kits inc. the $600 Works Bell USA shifter)

Rf keeps everything nice, neat and tidy and doesnt cause problems like a cable would when turning the wheel.

ill try and get a quick vid on my N95 on the weekend if I get a chance.

looks great.

nice Visual Performance (?) dials too! would look the bizz with needle cups

[Dave]

looks like a good kit... wouldn't the paddles look the business in carbon fibre??!!!

[markj113]

think I got enough carbon fibre on my car allready

Carbon fibre HKS front bumper
Carbon fibre evo style bonnet
custom carbon sills I made myself
nice rare carbon stereo surround - 1 of only 4 in twill weave
carbon tip pedals









and I did have a carbon arm rest but sold it for a leather one -




Carbon addiction is an expensive habbit

Liking the carbon interior bits. The sill you made, did you wrap an existing set in CF or are they made from a mould?

[miss-enzo]

its a carbon overlay of the original sill. easy to do just lots of sanding down
