Paddle shift - Your opinions please.

[Mark 4]

It was ! I've just been out to play for half an hour and it's only on half now.

[fluffnik]

Only took 13 months

They look great!

How are they pivoted?

[sodge]

They look really good , I would be interested in seeing a side on shot.

Those of you worried about changing gear mid-corner....
A properly setup tip-tronic box (and ours is included) will match the revs on shifts.

That's right - I found it easier to downshift by blipping the accelerator while executing the shift. Shifts a lot cleaner.

These have been arround for FTO's for about 3 years. I use to have a set a couple of years ago and now one of the owners is producing them that attach to momo hubs. They will work exactly the same with the VR4 as they do with the FTO

Not bad. How much are they ?

I'm thinking of offering a kit complete with laser cut paddles, fixings, switches, modified clock spring all the other bits and bobs plus full instructions.

Would anyone be interested ?

Mark,

You know i would be interested, full kit and fitment etc. How much do the FTO boyos charge for theirs?

They are about £100 to OC members, but the last set went for £240 on ebay.

I know the one I had uses RF Transmitters similar to this. I think the one that is now being produced also uses them

[Mark 4]

Hmm, they are a bit cleverer than mine. I don't like their paddles though. I think a kit of my design might be a bit more. I'll do some sums and let you have an estimate.

Do you have a link to the thread on the owners club? I presume its FTOC or something?

They look fantastic Mark well done, have some rep mate.

I wouold def be interested in a set, im not keen on taking my hands off the steering wheel on full go either but some times its nice to drive in trip mode.

Rough costs to produce a set?

[Mark 4]

Think mine will come in at about £120.00 AND I will need the clock spring sending back to me.

Any chance i could see some instructions before comitting to buying anything? Im not paying to have it fitted if you get me, i will only do things i can really do myself.

Cheers mate
