not looking at anythink big on quaifes site, even though ive just found a nice quickshift kit on rallydesign lol...

im looking at the quaife quickracks...

but i was just going to buy a white quaife m10 gearknob, as i wanted a different gearknob anyway, but sparco ones etc are around Ł20/30 and the quaife ones is Ł14 but im not sure how much postage is going to be on it?

also does anyone know if it will fit onto a standard mk4 gear selector?

Quick racks aren't much, Postage isn't much from Quaife at all, had various things off them and they seem good to deal with.

One word (motorsport)

Don't be suprised if it doesn't, the idea is that you adapt things to fit.

I'm confused why your bothered about a few quids worth of postage ? Its hardly going to be Ł20 to post it is it ?

Demon Tweeks sell the Quaife gearknobs so check their charges for posting

going to say they aint no where near Ł700

it aint a complete rack, its just just the kit, so you replace the internals of your standard rack with the quaife item

not sure how bad they are though for everyday use as ive never had one, but been told on here by a few people that its very hard to turn the wheel when going slow and parking etc.....

anyone got a quickrack on there s1/s2?

also anyone used the rallydesign quickshift kit? seems realy good for just Ł44.95

Easy job, quickshift on a nova is a quick job too.

The internal shifter pictured is a bit of a headache as you have to make the direct setup to go to the gearbox.
