Eliseparts Linkage Kit + Short Shifter... Worth getting?
Discussion
Hi all,
As I've said in another thread I've been getting a few bits and bobs for the Elise, the Hurricane kit and 160TB is now on its way after my plastic one started to stick every now and then (the perfect excuse) and I'm probably going to do the Exhaust thing with a full Larini System just before christmas. These are both modifications that nearly everyone seems to recommend.
Now, given that I'm thinking of getting a S1 Exige in a year or so's time to take care of the track-work, I want to leave my car pretty much standard, certainly able to be altered back to factory-spec at a moment's notice if I so decide. I do just want to do a few things to it (like inlet and exhaust) that just make the sunday blat that little bit more enjoyable. The Elise is such a wonderful little car I don't WANT heaps more power or grip, it's just so much fun!
The only other thing I can really think of doing is improving the gear shift. My car is miles better than most other S1s I've driven but I can't help but feel the gearshift could be a bit better at times. I've been thinking about getting the Eliseparts short shifter and gear linkage kit at the same time as the exhaust and have it installed in November in time for mid-summer (NZ). Is this a worthwhile addition to my little funmobile? Once the hurricane and exhaust is on giving it the soundtrack to match the driving experience, the gearshift is about all I can think of doing.
I see a couple of people have posted in previous threads about short shift kits etc, but does anyone have any recent experience of the EliseParts one? Any other recommended brands?
Cheers :)
Roll on summer :driving:

Well that's the result I was hoping for... think I might do it 
Will probably get the linkage kit AND the short shifter (in for a penny, in for a pound eh?) Like I said, might ask santa to bring me one. I have a hoist downstairs in the garage where I keep the Elise so I might pull the undertrays off and do it myself of a weekend
Now, just gotta hope that Santa gets my letter this year
