Can I put my name down? Got a list of things to get done over the coming months and would make this a priority
ps. Have ordered a few bits through Paul - they're cheaper than local dealers, and include postage! Top man!

You know the E36 Evo and E39 M5 shifter might be a better option to some of the guys. (S14 owners)

It will be the same as a standard car.shazE30 wrote:whats this kit like on 325i with a 20l manual box and i take it the short shift refers to the distance inbetween gear throws????
Correct the gearlever is approx 1-1.5 inch's shorter giving it a
shorter throw between gears.

i'm definately interested, but would like to know more about this...
firstly, what is 'better' about it for s14 owners, and also do the other bits in the above kit work with the e36 / e39 lever, or does it need a whole different kit?You know the E36 Evo and E39 M5 shifter might be a better option to some of the guys. (S14 owners)
