bttt

 

Rallydesign or matt lewis

 

ok cheers,hav rallydesign got a web site

 

i have a B&M one in mine. It TOTALLY transformed the box. Its so close, it makes my cossie gearbox feel knackered!

 

Don't Christian still do them?

 

Yes, but he wanted 'CHEAP' and the B&M certainly isn't that.

 

b&m are really good but there are very expensive! chuffed that my car had one fitted when i bought it!!

 

i got mine from christian. Was the best thing ive bought for my s1 TBH.

 

ah, thinking about it....

christian: How much can you do me a cossie 2wd one for? pm me if ya like.

 

i think i saw a post on here a while ago and it was about 60quid i think and i think a few people said they werent 2 bad

my mate has just put a b&m kit in his erst and its made me want 1 now

 

Those posts are in the Escort Turbo forum, but this is what you are after.

yeh that looks like the 1,does it just use the original gear lever just modified

jonesymk2 Yes. In the pic toward the bottom you can see a thick shiny metal plate that fits in. The gearlever also gets extended and pinned moving the fulcrum giving the effect of a quick-shift.
As a budget item it is very good...maybe not as good as the B&M (altho I don't have personal experience of those, but by all accounts is excellent). I do however have experience of the RD item and it is very good and does the job well. A lot more positive feel and more precise shift.

 

How "Expensive" is the B+M version and could I still use my shiny Pumas knob [fnar] on it?

 

I sell them for Ł215 inc VAT and postage.

 

JMC item is Ł140..but I think that's been discussed before in the RST forum and someone tied it and don't think they got it for that...but might be worth you giving it another try.

Think APT (and others) price is around the Ł160-Ł180 mark

Found this review from Canada: http://www.feoa.net/modules.php?name...owcontent&id=4

 

Beat to it. Must have been last years prices I was going from. I know you had to put up the price recently.

Gearboxman does them for Ł165 http://www.gearboxman.co.uk/psbmshifter.html

 

The UK price has taken a hike recently, due to low demand for this kit. Luckily B&M haven't discontinued it yet.

We get proper dealer prices and Ł140 is far less than we pay for it. Though that JMC price is plus VAT and delivery. Even still, that must be a very old price and if they will still honour it, then

 

Same reason as JMC I bet.

 

after driving a car with a b&m shifter they totally transform the gear change so tight i definatly have to buy one.. but i've got a few more bits to purchase first..
if anyone thinking about buying one i think they are well worth the money..


thanks
