Quick Shift Kit... To buy or not to buy!! (now bought)

[Shayn8v]

I'm toying with the idea of reducing the throw between gearchange, I would like to tighten everything up at the same time. My gearbox is great and finding gears is quite easy.. just wanna have a smoother, quicker, shorter gear change

Any advice?

I had one on the old car and will get another for this one.
Takes a bit of getting used to but well worth it

have this plus a weighted rod (to allow gear lever, with its LHD origins, to sit away from passenger seat) on all the mk2s = great upgrade.

Used them on 2 previous cars, they are a great mod i think and give a more positive gearchange..

Also have one fitted to mine,bought off here,find it great,very fast changes ! Apart from when the pin comes out,and you have to put a new one in,when the engine is hot !

First mod I did on both my Roccos, as soon as I got them.

Got mine and the powershift kit (weighted rod) from ABD Racing: http://abdracingwerks.com/Merchant2/mer ... Code=40.10, distributed back then by Impossible Performance.

* Will this one fit my 1.8 8v GTX? Also where can I get the rod aswell?

I'm going for more for a budget option buddy... £129.00 is a wee bit more than i'd like to spend on my cheap classic ( For Now ) Should I just get the one from trimsport for £20.00?
