Hasn't shipped yet, will work out details iin the next few days with Chris I'm sure. Insured all the way though, no way I'd do it without, so I guess "pray" shouldn't be interpreted as faith. If faith worked all the time, there wouldn't be as need insurance or lawyers...

Ah Just found them, its a Air powered system........

[Monte Busa]

Actually I'm using the PBS paddles with a Translogic Powershift...with built in "autoshift" for F1 type launches - maybe I can beat that 2.83sec to 60 run!

I hope to get the car done by sometime this summer....

Try this before you buy the other, they are a bit cheaper. It doesn't do the interupt but the Motec will be doing mine for me......

All the same nice to see another system at well under £1000....

Already picked up the Translogic unit a few months ago on eBay, 40% of retail can't be wrong!

...exciting day! I just received word this AM from Chris that the last pieces have come in for my kit of parts that are coming with the car - the Curley bits I ordered (door cards and Evo Asad dash). My customs agent (aka my younger brother) is arranging paperwork as we speak - not long now until you guys get to see pics from this side of the pond!!! :grin: :grin: :grin:

Cheers,

Monte
