Just got this quick shift from burton power looks nice but don't know if it's any good.
Does anyone use one or know what there like?

ajamesc

when i had my box done at compertition transmissions i was told by them not too use a quick shift on a t5 as u then tend too beat the syncros and this just wears them out! Got the big tooth kit in mine standard shifter seems fine to me

MrCapriScort

This is a mad project, awesome so far

scary!!!!

When its done if it looks like a normal mini I will be impressed, the problem with converted nutter mini's normally is the front end is all long and wide and out of proportions so it doesn't work in my eyes.

This looks ace though.

scarnny

yeah your right there, would always like it so you wouldnt notice but i had to use an extended front end to fit inter cooler and rad in.
i dont think it looks to bad see what you think?

tbh im not a huge fan of the extended front end either!
BUT what a shock people are gunna get when they expect a vtec motor,only to find a cossie lump pumping mental

Readie Si

thats mental, love the build so far

steanlol

Thats the bollox mate , looks awesome , well done

Shings

She looks well - the cage looks pony though lol, remember you'll be doing 7x the speed of a normal mini when you roll it into a ditch lol.

Good work.

BIL N KEL
