Steve J Posted August 18, 2004 Share Posted August 18, 2004 Before I buy some bits and bobs I'm looking for feedback from anyone who has these mods. Gear Linkage Kit Short Shifter SS braided brake hoses So:- Are they any good? Best/cost effective place to get them from? Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott_Mac Posted August 18, 2004 Share Posted August 18, 2004 Have heard gear linkage is good - some complaints of slighty too stiff (no direct experience) Short shift, looks odd, i'm convinced it puts more pressure on gearbox as shorther throw... technically a good buy though (no direct experience) SS hoses - had them fitted by Mike last week.... now i'm used to them, they are great, much more feel, more confidence etc... initially it was weird as i nearly locked up a few times, but now i'm fine with them... the slight sponginess on first press has gone and they just bite. Deffo recommend them. Think they were about £140 supplied and fitted - inc VAT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve J Posted August 18, 2004 Author Share Posted August 18, 2004 Elise parts have the hoses at £70.44 inc vat. Did Horizon charge you less for the parts or is it worth just asking them to fit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott_Mac Posted August 18, 2004 Share Posted August 18, 2004 They charged a lot less than that Steve! There is 2 hours labour involved, plus fluid.... so do the maths I prefer a one stop solution anyway, rather than waiting on someone to deliver etc Horizon supply Goodridge hoses anyway so send all the business their way - at least that was my thought.

Kris H Posted August 18, 2004 Share Posted August 18, 2004 Steve - more helpfully if you could get all of these done and then let me know if it's worth it, that would be most useful. Am also thinking about nitrons, AO48s and oz as well so if you kind find yourself a way clear to do that too...go on, TAGL. Kristian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve J Posted August 18, 2004 Author Share Posted August 18, 2004 Yeh right ! I'd love nitrons, A048s and oz wheels but I've had enough trouble getting these past SWMBO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enxrjm Posted August 18, 2004 Share Posted August 18, 2004 I got my braided hoses from demon tweaks, was about £45 but now I see they're £51 inc VAT. If you want to try out the pedal feel then you're welcome to have a go with mine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kris H Posted August 18, 2004 Share Posted August 18, 2004 Yeh right ! I'd love nitrons, A048s and oz wheels but I've had enough trouble getting these past SWMBO Go on though. You'd be doing me a favour since Simon sold his car before I got to go in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kris H Posted August 18, 2004 Share Posted August 18, 2004 More than that Scott - it would be quite rude not to really, if you think about it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott_Mac Posted August 18, 2004 Share Posted August 18, 2004 Yes, i see it know. Bang out of order actually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kris H Posted August 18, 2004 Share Posted August 18, 2004 In fact I'd go further. The cheek of not doing is is almost too much. I've a good mind to ....well probably do nothing actually, but go on go on go on go on go on etc Mrs Doyle stylee anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
