yea its lots of fun. Trying to figure out how to hide all the ugly gas setup on top of the manifold... thinking of buying a cheap turtle shell cover and repainting it gloss black to match the Duspeed and see if that fits alright. But will prob have to go split covers and just hide part of it while keeping the center open

Thx mate its lots of fun. I have been looking at your thread as well, looks nice, and was thinking about doing a dash backlight change as one of my bulbs isnt working

Theres the link for the short shifter with Malwood. It was $275 Mal Wood Automotive - Ultimate Street Shifters

With the box out and waiting to go in makes it alot easier. My car is currently with my brother in Melb cause im away with work. So he is going to do it for me so I can ask him if he has any trouble with it.

But can't wait to see what it feels like. I really need those brackets the turtle shell bolts onto as well as the create motor didn't come with any.

I was considering doing the dash conversion in my s pack but never got arouse too it and this came with it.. Want to switch the colours around though.. But it looks amazing! Especially when you see a standard dash at night ahaha

$275 is cheap!! That is going on the tax shopping list ahaha!
About 2 weeks ago I pulled apart the centre console and removed the shifter so doing it on top shouldn't be a problem. Its just the installation.. Hoping it's just a swap!

Befre I bought mine I felt an Ss with a short shifter and I assure you, you will love it!!!!

yea there are some of the dash backlight LED replacement kits on ebay which look alright. Was thinking of going the easy way out and just getting one of them seen them used before and they look awesome.

yea i used to have a short shifter one my Senator and it awesome.

just brought a new alloy radiator and some new hoses so gotta put them in too. Current radiator has a big dint in it cause was trying to get behind the manifold so climbed up onto the top and knelt on the radiato lol

So the new gearbox went in today. My bro said with the shifters it was literally pull the old one off and put the new one on. No trouble at all.
