Cant find where to leave my details on the site, can only find details of e-mail addresses to send e-mail too, or am I being a tad techno-pedantic?

That is a very very good price.

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.
Correct the gearlever is approx 1-1.5 inch's shorter giving it a
shorter throw between gears.

No you are not too late as this is an ongoing offer.
All parts supplied is all you need for conversion.

i'm definately interested, but would like to know more about this...
You know the E36 Evo and E39 M5 shifter might be a better option to some of the guys. (S14 owners)
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?
