nope, you got what you wanted...

the install is apparantly a bit tricky, coz its a bit tight

but i'm sure you will enjoy it all the same

a lot of us have the TWM shifter.. if you go out on a Brissy cruise you can check out a kartboy shifter compared to a TWM

yeah but I still can get a refund on it...so what is the twm and the kartboy like? what did you pay and where did you get it from...the only downfall as i found out only tonight is that the b&m is pretty much the same height as the stock shifter....which sucks
can anyone confirm that? also just went on the kartboy site and they don't ship internationally at the time...they have resellers although the ones that i have looked at don't ship to aus..any pointers?

try out cork sport

or go TWM

also try out captain caveman (or whatever it is) at protegegarage.com
no its now www.mazda3online.com
also http://www.racingextreme.com/ have helped me out in the past

they all have stacks of stuff for the 1.8 and remember that a lot of stuff that is for the 2.0 will fit across the range

also treat yourself to a cheap and nasty $2 tool from super cheap

its a ring thing remover

i can't remember everything!!!
but if you right click on this one and save it you will be able to see whats involved.. you will also see that the TWM is the only one to include the right spacers etc for the heat sheild!!

corksport are a bit pathetic with their mail

tell them you want airmail, EMS and if your getting them both from them, tell them to include it all in one box
