    This has been discussed in depth I'm sure within the forum at length before I became a member but in case you were not aware and if you do have an f1 360 swapping to the stradale tcu (transmission control unit) is pretty much the most awesome mod you can do in terms of dollar value.

    The first thing is that it's essentially a plug and play operation, only requiring your mechanic to input clutch wear settings to the new unit before you can drive off.

    The differences are huge - much faster shifts, less clutch wear altogether and a generally much more satisfactory F1 experience.

    Part number for the stradale tcu is : 196986

    Also with this is a pair of genuine stradale grey coloured shift levers and mechanism, part 196374. Note that this isn't just the levers it's the actual mechanism which although it plugs right in to the 360 it feels more direct than the 360 version. I'm not sure what is actually different on them (I've not put them side by side) but the feel on the cs ones is nicer. In case you're wondering these levers have done 10k miles only and are out of crashed cs chassis 139718

    At this stage I'm not up for splitting the two lots and am asking $2500 for the pair, shipped to anywhere you like. This upgrade will transform your 360 and is of course beatifully simple to do and reverse should the need arise.

    Cheers

    Julian

    reduction to $2200 - not sure about the us but in the uk the tcu alone is £1300 so that's a great price?

    You should post this on the CS TCU upgrade forum.

    Thank you! I didn't even know such a thing existed!

    :) Sounds like I need to explore the site a little more!

    $2200 to include shipping. New price on these items around $3500 with questionable availability on the paddles....

    There will be next time. Just watch all forums and advertisements consistently.

    It's pending shipment but already sold and paid for. Don't even try to "hijack" my purchase by offering more. ;)

    Bad - bad, non-ethical trading practice in forums. First come (in this case, PM) first serve. :)

    Nobody here did anything wrong Drestless - the other gentlemen just indicated to me that should you decide that you were not happy to pay local customs charges that he would step in and complete the sale without that limitation.

    Now that you have indicated that you are happy to pick up that tab the sale will proceed without complaint from either me or from the other buyer!

    I understand your concerns but there is nothing non ethical about either of us lining up a sale together if you back off!

    Best

    Thank you for clarifying that none of this concern will transpire.

    I guess I feel like a little kid that can't wait for his gift... :)

    Drestless, did you post in the 360/430 forum how this all worked out for you? Curious to know.

    Thanks.

    Best upgrade you will ever do on the 360. Changed mine from the early 99 TCU. Huge difference !!!!
