E-Series with Rip Shifters

347_XR8 · 18-05-2006, 04:27 PM

This morning I got a Rip Shifter installed by Aussie Car Enhancement, i'll tell ya what they are the way to go! My manual 'box feels so better, alot more tighter and more responsive. No more sloppy-ness or "wheres that damn gear!".
Apart from the car, it is the best value for money so far. The car just shifts sooooooo much better then before.
So if you've got a manual/T5 E-series i STRONGLY suggest you get one! Just check out the site sponser Aussie Car Enhacements for more details!

You wont be dissapointed. I was surprised to find out that I was the first E-series with it in. It goes in easyier then the BA's! There is absolutly no play in the 'box. If anyone wants to check it out at Heathcote on the weekend, jsut come up and say G'day and i'll show ya what i mean

i got a B&M ripper shifter about 4 years ago (when the aussie dollar was crap, cost me $600!) for my sprint and it was the best thing i've ever bought.

makes the EL GT shifter feel like a mop handle in a bucket

Does it improve the incredibly slow and tricky 2nd to 3rd shift at high revs? If so I want one.

I can vouch 100% for what Craig has said. I have had several people already have a look and a feel (even Holden owners) and they can not believe how tight it is.

Thanks guys, I read the link after I posted, and cbf'd deleting it. Looks like I'll be getting one.

^ I thaught you were selling your car.

I would be keen to have a feel at Heathcote. LOL that sounded wrong. Sloppy 2-3 change must die!

What exactly is a RIP shifter? Does this mean it's dead even before it goes in?
