performance upgrades
Discussion
I received my Rip Shifter today and it looks a very well made piece of kit.....(£275 inc all tax etc.) There is a possible saving on a group purchase!!!
I will post a report over the weekend when it is fitted but from the reports so far in Australia it total eliminates the poor gear shift on the T56 box.
I have also order up a polished Stainless cat back exhaust for one of my other company directors who has bought a black Monaro which is due to
arrive in the next week or so along with a new MAF pipe and a new PCM. (good for about 380hp at about £1000)
Mine and "Jagsy" MAF conversion have proved very worth while and I would say it is a must have for all GTS and Monaro owners. (£100)

The new gear shift is in and WOW what a difference.
The gear change is precise and smooth with the throw about 2 inch shorter front to back and very tight left to right.
The change from 2nd to 3rd is ultra fast........... this is a must have upgrade!!
The fitting is a bit of a pain but I did it in about 4 hours with no special tools.
The finished unit looks totally stock reusing the gear knob and gaiter, but without the rattle!!!
I have driven cars with the HSV short shifter and the "Capa" unit and this one is 100% better and it costs less.......

Hi "GSE" here is the current advert:

The guy to talk to is Phonsy Mullan also "Pomona" has one fitted to fis GTS-R so he might be able to give you some feed back.

The shifter I have put on retains all of the original seals and rubber boots so the noise inside the car is as normal....
As for vibration, there is some at high revves but this is only felt through the gear stick and not heard like a rattle....
"sjc" try this address from the links page on the web site www.api-uk.co.uk/ as he is looking to import the full
Holden, HSV range. to the UK.
The guy from API is coming to Billing on the Saturday if anyone wants to know about imports.........

I have been sent a email from GM Motorsport (who make the Rip Shifter) with the prices for the UK Owner Club...
1 off = $699 AUD (£265)
5 off = $550 AUD (£208)
10 off = $469 AUD (£178)
Shipping etc is about £20 each
"Jagsy" and Mrs "Jagsy" have used the shifter on my car and I am sure will give you a honest opinion

I can say, with hand on heart "Jagsy" new exhaust sounds excellent
It is not as loud as I was expecting and it has a very nice deep tone. It is about as loud as a TVR but with a nicer note.
There is no drone and sounds excellent under full power.
The exhaust change was well worth the effort for the sound only but it is sure to of helped power to.

I think the best way for this purchase to work is if you email me your name and contact email address, when I have 5 I will post here and send your details to GM Motorsport so he can deal direct with you for money and delivery address etc.
If I get over 5 orders I will repost and ask if you want to hold on until we can get the ten price.....
