Yes...our demo car has one fitted. (Street version)

Best to try before you buy.

Email me and I will see if I am passing your way this week.

I have the rip in the vxr8, donkvxr has the billet, same as wpuk one. I dont think his is fitted yet.
Billet has shorter throws sadly, while the rip has a centreing spring to help 2-3 shifts.
Pity there isnt one that does both. I like the short shift and spring like the old rip in the Vt-Vz series.

You can try mine at the ace if you like. Im not sure if Chris will have his in by then. Id like to test his too

Thanks for the offer, nature of my job doesn't give me the luxury of knowing location day to day, so I might have to wait until the ACE. Thanks anyway

Yes, I just layered another pile of rubber sealant on the nob to see if I could silence it. She is quite buzzy.
I think its the spring or something lower down this time. Somewhat annoying.. Bring one to the Ace Mr Wortec so we can see it smile

Then I can see mechanically what the difference is with the street. Does it use the stock handle again? Race has an adjustable height one.
