VE Auto Rip Shifter

[BLACK 346]

Just stumbled across this by accident. Is it legit lol. Make it super easy to negotiate the 3 inch back and forward motion that is the 6L80 sports mode.

I like the look but the price is pretty steep for a what is essentially a gear knob.

Although I agree that the shifter handle above looks ok, that sort of coin might be better invested here Ed.

+1 for the paddle shifters. I got some fitted by Nathan at ALC in September last year. Best driveability mod I've done so far. Flicking through the gears with hands on the wheel is great and heaps of fun in the twisties!

Good to hear. I just bought a kit with the silver paddles.

[Wonky]

I've got a set too but for me only useful in a straight line. Still good fun!! :yup:

Getting this kit fitted next Saturday by SA Auto Installs. An expensive mod, but I reckon it will be worth it.

[BLACK 346]

Got them fitted this morning and another great mod that is very well worth while. Like QIKMIK and Wonky have said, well worth the expense. They look great as well, and the kit really looks like it was there from the factory. Big thumbs up for Corey at SA Auto Installs as well, very professional and did a fantastic job of the installation.

Thanks Mick, picked them up second hand a few years back and have never seen anything I liked better since (except maybe some Simmons). Luckily for me the Simmons wont fit over the Brembo's, so no decision to make :)

Cheers Ed.

Yeah the wheels really suit the car in my opinion. :cheers:

I had one the rear ones resprayed by Extensive Wheel at Mile End and he commented on what a quality wheel it was. I said at the time I was tossing up whether to repaint these or go for a set of the new Simmons one piece (didn't know at the time that they wouldn't fit over my brakes). He said straight up, don't do it, they are rubbish compared to the factory HSV rims.

I reckon you made the right choice Rod! :yup:
