Out of curiosity, which one did you get? And have you wired it in and taken it for a test drive?

I bought the 2 stage one from shiftkits.com.au and it came with all the instructions for wiring it up. massive difference between off and stage 1. smaller difference between stage 1 and stage 2. I rarely take it out of stage 1 - off feels really strange these days.

did you have any problems with taken out the ecu the ground cable is pop rivited what did you do?

Cooper69S · 24-12-2008, 11:54 PM

Can't recall specifically... didn't have to remove any pop rivets anyway as I'd remember that I'm pretty sure. rivet may have been removed by the guys that installed the lpg computer maybe... installing the kit was a pretty straightforward job even for an amateur like me

I have the adjustable one, it's good for finding the best shift point.

i saw one of these on ebay a while back, so you have stage options? is a stage 2 too much for a daily driver?

But it's fun! Especially on gentle bends in the wet

For me it would be, it depends on how you drive I guess. This is where the adjustable kit is good, because you can make it real firm, chirping through the gears or turn it down a bit so it still changes quick but without the harshness

hmm, i might go for the stage 2 then, i think that will do just fine, $95 i think a stage 2 will cost...another one has come up on ebay, but i emailed shiftkits to see if thay use a dealer here in WA so just waiting for a reply.

I think shiftkits.com.au are a Perth mob actually.
