    More evidence of RIDICULOUS product pricing

    Jordan and I made one of these for less than $4, and Ken was doing the same. Look at this bullshit. Just one more reason why I don't give any of my business to Bavarian Autosporrt anymore.


    NEW! Shave seconds off your shift times with the Hammerstand! You waste a lot of time during shifting because you must depress the clutch pedal beyond its true disengagement point. With the Hammerstand, you¹ll enjoy perfect shifts every time. Just step on the clutch pedal as hard as you like ­ the Hammerstand stops the pedal at the optimum position. No more wasted motion or unsynchronized clutch engagement. It¹s machined from a solid cylinder of 303 stainless steel for strength and durability. It screws into factory mounting location. And it¹s infinitely adjustable so you can set it at the precise point where the clutch fully disengages. NOTE: will not work on BMWs in which the clutch pedal must be depressed to start the engine.

    HAMMERSTAND - Hammerstand Clutch Stand - $79.95

        4 dollars, crap man, I think mine was like 2. ;) Home Depot, where all E30 owners shop.

        I was laughing when I saw that in the mag too. I bought stuff from them, but that was before I was a member @ r3v.

          Fuck I think VPD or Turner are selling the same thing for $7.

          You do need something wider than the bumpstop on the E36 because of the crap plastic clutch. I used a lowprofile bumpstop for a lowered car, the Toyota tacoma uses a 10mm stud and it was urethane. $12
          Im now E30less.

                  i's rather duck tape 10 honda emblems to the floor of my car and use them as clutch stops before paying 80$ for that pice of shit.

                    The disc and threads are machined out of a full diameter steel cylinder, so it's understandable that it's more expensive. It is stronger than a jointed connection, though probably not worth the price differential for a noncritical part.

                      Correct, no where near what you can make one from. My $2 clutch stop is holding up juuuust fine.

                        I wonder if they make it in titanium because if they do I would like to be 1,000,000.
