Those quick shifts, are they worth it in your opinion? actually, if 4th was a problem, then maybe not Was it a B&M one?

Was it a B&M one? the quicjshift is SUPERB
and yes its a B&M....its just coming from 5th to 4th....as now i don't have to push the lever down to get into reverse!!! it just takes a little getting used to as its solid...and sometimes you think your not in gear!!

11psi... whack a tenner in, that'll get you there 
I went to J21 I think, could have even been 26 (Notts) steady 70 - 80 apart from on the way back as a mate picked up an Esc Cos so had to have a little play Plus an EVO was up for it as well... Like I say, 30 pounds (ish) covered it..
