100% lever.

There is a thread on another forum that reads ...

Before driving the GTR at Silverstone I'd have agreed with you.

But after driving the GTR I have to say I could live with that paddleshift forever..

The are big advantages of using a paddle shifter over the centre console mounted lever.

Has anyone else noticed if using the buttons shifts faster than the lever? My stag seems to shift faster with the buttons :cool:

100% agree. I would say as much as half the shift time. But the advantage of the lever is that it's always in the same position (+ve), the buttons can get confusing when the wheel is upside down (-ve).

My flaring is so bad that 1st to 2nd shifts @ 80% to full throttle need to be done by 5500rpm inorder not to hit rev limiter, any later than that and she either bounces or I need to back right off. shifts can be delayed as much as 2-3 seconds. What a massive performance loss!

The auto experts answer was that the friction plates in the tranny have probably "glazed over" (like brake pads can) and there effectiveness is greatly reduced. He was sceptical that value body upgrades would help at all with the flaring. GRRRR.

      I'll tell her I put in a new air filter on it, which, it would have anyway with the ITB's In the end she isn't to fussed, she spends lots of money on hair, nails, make-up and all the other "required" beauty products that women use, plus I grease the wheels with shiny gifts and holidays wherever and whenever I can She once questioned my car spending "budget", but after itemising everything she spends on herself, and what I spend on her, and the fact that I don't care if she does or doesn't wear make-up and fancy pants perfume, or requires new outfits for every wedding, funeral or anything else she deems worthy, and I'm quite happy to go "real" camping, instead of staying in hotels or jaunts on cruise ships, she decided not to press the subject on how I spend funds, and has never asked "how much did that cost" again, so a win to me And how often can you say you really get a win with the fairer sex? She is a good woman, and in the big picture, I'm really lucky.....that she hasn't killed me yet

      Will the clear coat dissolve the ink tho?? I thought about clear vinyl tape too. Thinking what to do haha. The one I have now is cracked in 1 spot, otherwise mint. Plus the MINES one is much thicker plastic material so its not flimsy at all.

      No. Go a different colour, and just trim it at an edge line. Even manufacturers do different panels different colours etc.

      I see no real downsides to ITB's, apart from the initial cost of my drive in drive out lifestyle, the "upsides" is they sound cool and would add lots of smiles I am willing to pay to play for the extra smiles I've spent the morning googling and youtubing the BBR ITB's, a "little" extra power and throttle response, but alot more dort, and really, I'm only really in it for the dort Who knows, after all this money is spent I might even make 150kwatw....LOL
