92 Roadster for Road and Track

Looking very nice

Interesting to read about the upper shift boot, mine is wrecked and the noise and intense rattle noises its making are starting to drive me mad (hopefully these noises are normal.. )

Been considering the jass one and the shorty console so its food for thought!

Cheers man!

I really don't recommend the Jass upper shift boot, but maybe other people have had better experiences!

Have you got in contact with him? I've always been pretty impressed with the quality of his stuff, but admittedly haven't had any experience of the shift boot. He might be able to adjust the design and hardware based on your experience.

No, I'll shoot him an email.

Cheers man, love the feedback.

I'll sell you the wheels cheap when I'm not saving for a wedding and I've bought my MB Racing 13" wheels

Just as a "close" to this thread here's a pic:

So what happened to this car?

[NurseHolliday]

The shell is too rusty, it's been sitting at Skuzzle since December. I have sourced a new car from our illustrious leader which will be receiving everything from this car.

I will start a new thread once I have sorted out the process at Skuzzle this weekend.

[minty]

Ahhh, so do you have the white one due to the boss getting high on BBQ smoke and deciding MK3's are better?

[NurseHolliday]

Yep, that's me.

I'm going for the KISS approach this time and just get it on the road and out on track as much as I can rather than having it sit a lot.

Last night I fitted the Jass Performance upper shift boot.

Prior to that I had the Doctor MX5 lower and upper, but the upper split and it looked unsightly (I don't have a gear gaiter). I quite like the retro look of the Jass Performance item and had read a couple of good things online so I ordered one to replace the Doctor MX5 upper.

I was a bit disappointed with the Doctor MX5 upper as it had been fitted for less than 12 months and for it to split in that time frame makes it no better than the OEM item.

The Jass Peformance item is expensive at £41.50 including delivery so I expected big things. When it arrived it looked the part and I was suitably impressed. When I came to fit it however, I was very disappointed. The holes don't line up and the stainless steel hardware provided is too short. I had to use my Dremel to enlarge the holes and get them to line up with the holes in the tunnel, and then use the fine sanding tool on the Dremel to reduce the thickness which considering the time taken and trial and error involved, made this item extremely overpriced.

I had been considering a Jass Performance shorty console, but based on my experience with this item, I won't be buying it.

I had the same issue with the Jass upper shift boot. I've yet to properly tinker with it as you have to get it to fit properly. Was very frustrating.

Lots of ITB inspiration! Look forward to seeing the new build.
