[Tom]

[TheCake]

So recommended for my Cup?

Tom do you have a picture of it fitted please mate?

 

[Daz]

Roamer has one.. Slugger has one..

Both love em..

 

[Roamer]

Yup, got mine yonks and yonks ago, and still think its between that and the eibach springs as to which is best value for money mod Ive done.

Lovin it, apart from in the dead of winter when the whole thing get just too cold to touch for long periods - but then you just learn to shift even quicker

ditto on the cold thing! it was freezin the other nite!!! had to use my sleeve at first to change gear.

And Tom, its not the main lever but the base that it goes in that can be upsode down.

Do they do one for the valver?

Is there still as much feel in the changes?

 

[Tom]

As for the cold issue cant you just swap the knob?

 

[Adams_16v]

u could just chop an inch of ur gearstick!

[swelch]

can you fit them from inside the car only, or do you need to get underneath for any bits ?

 

[BIGDAVE]

In the other thread it says its easy to fit as long as its not a mk1 172.Was thinking of getting one for my mk1 but whats the problem.

 

[Fred@BTM]

You fit it from underneath the car, ive got one, well worth it, best mod for £££ ive bought!!!!!

[BIGDAVE]

Is this the same as the B+M one that BB Tuning are selling for £135.

 

[Phantom RS]

I think they are the same. In fact, i think this a B&W quickshift... Can anyone confirm this?

 

[ClioRXE]

it looks exactly the same as the B&M quickshifter.

exactly the same!

 

[monkeymagic]

they are the same. I got mine in the post this morning.

 

[TheCake]

So do we save money and get it from someone else? K-Tec have said £35+vat to fit which sounds good but theya re literally bloody miles from my house.

Fred, have to say buddy.. that steering wheel ROCKS!! LOVE IT.

 

[CUPPY]

yeah fred your car looks bloody awesome mate..have you giot any more pics of the whole car???..anyway where is the best place to get these from then? if they are all the same then where is the cheapest? cheers everyone!!! ps do they really make a difference!!!

 

[MAXIBOY]

got one in mine fantastic made by b+m easy to fit as long as you can get the cat off

 

[CUPPY]

i am getting mine fitted at a garage on friday...are the instructions easy to follow and will he get it done in an hour..cheers

 

[BIGDAVE]

Easy to fit at garage,if you get it up on the ramp you could have it done in 20 minutes max.

 

[BenR]

remove heatsheilds,unbolt linkage,remove circlip from underneath and remove gearstick from underneath.

 

[BenR]

the shifter for the 172/gtt/valver and almost all the bloody rens are the same.

 

[CUPPY]

thanks for all your help guys..got it today and the quality looks amazing cant wait to get it on the car!!!!

 

[IsvenII]

Would the quickshifter wear out the clutch faster? Just to cfm with you guys, the Ktec one is fits the mk1 172 perfect?

 

[Fred@BTM]

No it wouldnt wear the clutch out quicker, thats down to the driver!!!!!

Itll fit ANY renault perfectly

 

[wackojacko]

I know this seems really dumb. But ive gotta really short arms.

Does it not make the gearstick a longer reach??

 

[Fred@BTM]

i wouldnt think so, cos you havent gotta move the stick as far forward/or as far back as the std one, You could just move your seat to compensate??

 

[CUPPY]

fred can you describe what kind of diffierence it made to your beast?

 

[Andyman]

and whats the exact temperature when the knob gets cold to the touch ? Can you fit a heater to it ?

 

[CUPPY]

i prefer cold balls in my hand...ha ha
