MMZ, thanks for the link giving the paddle part numbers, etc . I hadn't noticed that FUBU might be wanting me to supply the paddles too ... thanks for catching that


FUBU send me a PM as to where you need your kit shipped and we can take it from there

Chris

Happy NY to all of you!
Thanks for the concern, I meant FL as in Florida
I will be there so it may be worth my while to get some parts for the 2012 season.
This mod + DCAI + ECU tune is what I have in mind (already have the sc pulley here in Sweden)
I'll calculate the amount of money I can afford and contact you with all details.
Have a great first day of 2012!!!

Maybe Rob could teflon coat them in black for you. It may even increase the shift speed, lol.

a little gumption, some fortitude
and read, read, read the instructions through, carefully as you go.
the steering wheel hub bolt is easy to remove, and no puller is used to remove the wheel.
did i say read? then heed the info
its like anything else, once you plunge your knife, exacto, dremel into it, you are committed, then do it.
its not a 2 hour job, give yourself plenty of time. and since its laid out in two stages, it wont keep your car down all that long.
i've had the kit on my car since the initial release and its the most natural addition you could want. its the same looks like what was on my sl500.
the auto stick sucks. the paddles rock! (pun intended)
its extremely natural and its great to just grab a gear and go!, the correct gear , its a blast to shift at the apex if you want and keep your hands up on the wheel.
try it, its greeeeeeat! if any of you houston area folks need a hand, or pointers, let me know. i'll be glad to help you out.
chris has developed and implemented a fine product, if you are an active driver just get it, you wont be sorry. you will love it. other folks notice it and it adds to the whole effect of a classy little car. so unlike many mods, if you dont use it, at the very least, it still looks good. no, make that excellent.
