Default final stages of conversion

i put it in a few weeks back, thought i might update you all on it as i missed the last cruise, i also have installed black cruise buttons, couldnt get my hands on grey ones, but it suits the gear stik and nob quite well

Ah EL GT stick. Gotcha. Nice work Niko

I've got a T5 coming for mine, thank christ! About time. I can't work out whether to put it in the car or sell the bits as a full conversion kit though...

How's the off-throttle backlash with the manual?
