And though these items are posted in public in my store, I'm actually TELLING you guys here at MR about this first - I have the last stock of Garage5 NB gauge rings in the world here in my hands. I believe there's 4 sets. There's no NA rings.

I also have 10 sets of the G5 tail light rings for the Garage Vary lights.

Hit my store. Grab them before they're gone forever.

I'm almost tempted for the GV rings. As Harry Potter's glasses as they may be.

As many of you know, I give away Hot Wheels cars with every order. And I always collect a bunch of the REALLY good ones to send out every Sharksgiving. These are the hard to find cars. The ones that go for $5-20 each on ebay and such. The collector cars.

This year I have around 700 of this type of car to give away.

The first Sharksgiving orders will be packed with the new ND Miata Hot Wheels. I have more than a full case (72) of them. All will go out first, then I’ll start on the Datsuns, Skylines, Japan Historics, and other goodies I’ve collected and saved.

I've got a few car parts from my personal collection to get rid of. I'll be selling those during Sharksgiving too!

I can only think of a few. All have posted in this thread so far.

Steering Wheels!

I’m getting rid of some unloved wheels in my collection. There’s no reason for two cars to have 15 steering wheels among them, so a few have got to go.

MOMO Daytona from 1983. Flat profile with no dish. 350mm. Completely refinished and blogged about in 2015.

http://revlimiter.net/blog/wp-content/uploads/2017/11/DSC_4789.jpg

The wheel is a bit smaller than 350mm for whatever reason. It measures out to 345 no matter how I stretch the measuring tape. Pretty odd.

The finish is astounding. I did a really good job on it. The wheel feels SOFT to hold, it’s so smooth. It’s really quite nice. The grip is just a bit too thin for my liking. I’ve never really felt like it was the wheel for me.

I spent weeks refinishing this wheel. Something like 80 hours of work total. I’d like to get $250 shipped for it (US price, world shipping would add a bit more). I’ve seen these sell for $800 and up in much worse condition. But I just don’t feel like this wheel would sell for that price. $250 seems like a better place to start.

If you’re interested, please use the custom order form (http://revlimiter.net/blog/order/).

In past years, I did a give away. Each day, I'd tally up the gauge orders from the previous day and put the numbers into random.org. The one picked by that site got a refund of the $99 gauge price. I'm doing that again this year. :)

Eddie got his Apollo gauges refunded. They were also the first set of Apollo NA gauges sold. Congrats Eddie!

Wanna try your luck? Place an order for gauges during the sale. Then see if they were picked to be refunded the next day.

[Phatmiata]

that wheel looks amazing!! Also uber rare, someone needs to grab that asap!!!

[ScratchNSniff]

Taylor's order was randomly picked as day 2's winner. He got his gauges refunded. Congrats Taylor! Enjoy the Sharksgiving present.

Orders on Wednesday are usually the lightest. Try your luck and see if you get some free gauges to wash down your Thanksgiving turkey!

"AAA Fixit Guy" won the random pick for a gauge refund from the 11/22 orders. Don't know his real name, as the paypal receipt only showed a company name. Regardless, his (or their?) NC Warbird order got refunded. Congrats Fixit Guy!

Stay tuned to see who gets free gauges from the Thanksgiving 11/23 orders tomorrow.

I refinished it a couple years back. It's a pretty decent wheel. Not a show stopper, but quite nice to drive with. These usually go for around $250-350. I’d like to get $175 shipped for this one. Shipping in the US only. International folks will need to pay a bit more to get this into their hands.

Momo Mod 07 - the Deep Prototipo

The last wheel I have up for sale is this Mod 07 from MOMO. It’s basically the deep dish Prototipo. I’d never owned a deep wheel before and found this one locally.

This wheel has some wear. It’s not damaged but it does have some experience. The photos make it look much worse than it is in person, but I wanted to capture all of the wear.

The rough section at the bottom of the wheel still has the top leather surface present. It could be stripped and re-finished if you wanted. When the surface goes away and suede is poking out, you can’t refinish leather anymore, but this one is not to that point.

It’s a great driver’s wheel. I’d like to get $150 shipped. And as above, international folks would spend a bit more in shipping cost.

I had the Gara Sport. Had to drill new holes but I couldn’t live without it.

Leftover Friday!!

I've got a bunch of shirts left over from Miatapalooza and MazdaRoadster events. They'll be shipping randomly with orders over the next few days. Most are size large. Sorry, you can't request a size or shirt. They're just random gifts.

Happy Black Friday everyone!

Thanksgiving's gauge refund drawing went to Jeremy who ordered some NC1 JNC gauges. He got $99 back and will probably also get a t-shirt in the box. :) Congrats Jeremy!

Black Friday Double Prize!!!

In years past, I've done a double gauge give-away drawing for Friday orders. I'm doing that again this year!! Put in your order today and come back to see if you got your gauges refunded tomorrow.

Shannon was the first winner from Friday's random gauge refund contest. Her Zen NA order was refunded and the gauges will be made up... someday. Hopefully someday soon.


and...

Jay was the second winner from yesterday's double prizer. He got $99 refunded on his Dragstrip NB order.

Congrats to both!!!!!!!!

Who will win the Small Business Saturday Gauge Refund Contest? Order a set and try your luck!

[revlimiter]

Sale still running. Totally overwhelmed by orders.

Tomorrow is the last day. Very excited about that.

Sorry to all who have put in custom orders and not had them answered. Just not enough time to produce gauges, run the laser, keep up with invoices, and keep answering emails and questions. Really sorry for the bad customer service. :(

[HarryB]

Bad..what? You sir have one of the BEST customer services I have ever encountered, part of why I have been recommending you to pretty much everyone.

[revlimiter]

I've not had a chance to open a web browser for the past howevermany days since the sale ended. Thanks for all the kind words.

Here's some info for everyone who was kind enough to participate in my sale.


I received just north of 400 orders over the week of sale. Most include gauges.
About 140 of those are custom gauges.
I can produce about 10 sets of gauges in a day if they're just standard sets. I've been doing this since day 1 of the sale.
I can produce one or two custom sets in a day.
I have to return to my day job next week.


So while some folks will get their standard orders pretty quickly, most folks will likely be waiting for their standard gauges through December and into January. I'm really sorry for this delay. It's making me squirm just thinking about it. I don't want folks to have to wait this long.

For custom gauge orders, you're looking at March to April for delivery. I've communicated this to everyone who ordered a custom gauge, I think, but I wanted to post it on all of the forums as well. Hopefully this will help catch anyone I missed.

And lastly, I've been awful about replying to emails for the past few days. Most went many hours without a reply and some went a day or two. I'm sorry about that.

And again, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR ORDERS!!! It's been amazing.

[bogaut]

sounds like santa might need a helper or two for sharksgiving 2018

[revlimiter]

Yeah. And no day job.

[ScratchNSniff]

Yeah. And no day job.

You mean there are vendors that still have day jobs...and they don't carry around their phones and get back to you within 5 minutes every single time you ask them something...this is news to me!!!
