hmmmm im kinda looking at it this way, its kind of like if you were ever to nail a ladyboy, but not realise its a ladyboy until your balls deep! at which point you might as well carry on and finish the job right?! :? as i see it im pretty much balls deep into this car right now so i guess i may as well just shrug my shoulders and carry on :lol:

well not really spent much time on the lude for a while so i decided i might as well grab a skunk2 shifter and a short shift adapter as directed by newkid :Hello:

cant believe the difference these 2 little bits made! WHY havent i had a short shift adapter on there before now?!?!?! it just feels soooo much better :)

havent got a pic of it fitted yet but here are the parts in question 8-)

i agree mate! i thought it was excellent quality aswell! the one and only tiny niggle with it is that you have to slice away at the underside of the gear gator housing but you have to do that with all the adaptors on the market so its hardly worth a grumble, very impressed with it, cheers for pointing me in the right direction with that one mate! 8-)

The weighted Gearknob and shortshifter certainly does make a noticable difference :)
