understand mate. we manual drivers will prob be "out-moded" very soon. just like the horse power inflation, sooner or later the available power n torque will be so tremendous that no human can shift gear effectively. in my HUMBLEST of opinion, this is prob one of my last few chances of driving a real manual, and before the decade is up manual cars, if any, will be priced more expensive then semi-auto boxes. found it at a dealer located near infamous hawker centre near infamous circle, named after a certain type of road in Germany.

Haha very diplomatic way of putting things. You're right, the manual box in the LP is offered as a $30k option, hope I didn't hear wrongly. Boy I miss the way how my Egear downshifts in Sport mode.
the reality of owning a self shifter is that in city driving, it can get rather tiring. stuck in masive jam yesterday, was at one stage cursing myself fr driving the 360 instead of the 645 or 4200, but all that changed during the evening post dinner, on West Coast highway..... i tested the lambo G E-gear couple of months back. i think the dark blue unit that belong to Eurosports. apparently it had its E-gear software "upgraded", find that up shifting its quite smooth, down shifting rather jerky....or is it the other way round..... going to HSM today..any folks heading there?? circa lunch time. wanna check the belt tensioner that you mentioned. also wanna enquire abt loose left gear paddle on the 4200. plus checking out a M3 fr sale there, owner prob bot a new maser/ferari. killing 3 birds with one stone.

GOOD MORNING!!! tot i am first in the forum!!!! yes...heal n toe....do it well ad be rewarded...do it wrong....hope nobody notice!!!
your enthusiasm is infectious! jon, what happened? waited till midnite before i gave up. guess you must have been stuck. want to try for later? let me know. have a good day all.
someone sent me an email with info regarding a "gt rally 2007" which is scheduled for 8 to 10 september. the website is www.gt-rally.com any of you guys planning on going?
Good morning! It is done, I have been officially inducted to the darkest side of motoring nirvana. The Arancio Borealis has morphed into Grigio Avalon. Went through some plastic surgery..... For the first time in my life, it feels so good to be so poor. Kind of unbelievable.
Sorry bro, had to appease the Home minister first then wash the car but the next thing I know, it was thundering shower So, I went to polish the exhaust tips Now, while I was doing all those, I can't help but complain what the hell am I doing all these when I just paid so much money to them & people are getting their ride in the showroom while I get it from the driveway #!*!? oh & those stains & cig. ashes.... But my next worry is unfounded, it went through my basement without much drama Don't worry bro, we'll meet afterwork. Don't dare to drive around for I know I won't find a good parking lot when I return. Anyway, a BIG thanks to Lung, Phil & Rara for the unyielding support. All the dark warlords
Boi, over here either you're Rossa subscribed or you'll have to type the signature manually with every post. A paid privilege or some extra load on the fingers.
Oh no I wish people don't bother me then cos I always do it wrong & they'd thought how come suddenly no sound huh Anyway, my shift travel on the gate & box is now substantially shorter, providing quicker changes.
Other than that, I lowered it by 30mm, added a 145mm wide body kit & it's 280mm longer. Crap, hope it doesn't look like a kit car now but it's got some character
mate, really must check out your car.... which body kit, would it rude for me to ask?? pics soon? btw, just look at some older posts...great shots @ seletar airbase. off for lunch now and HSM now. if you can...pics!!!!
Khips, read this before you go! http://www.ferrarichat.com/forum/showthread.php?t=155780 It's the cam variators.
went to HSM. there is some event there, so i was "pushed" to the extreme corner, where the Maser QPs are. all the senior mechanics are involved as well, so decided to check another day. couldnt get my 4200 loose paddle shift fixed as well, but found out fm the juniors it will take circa 0.5hr, so fixed friday morning. i actually went there to view a M3, tested the car, low mileage with one owner and high paper(80% PARF). tot would be a good short term car to punt around with. K
the gt rally sounds interesting!anyone joining? jon,pics please! wish i could join you guys on sunday,have a golf game in the morning. can anyone here tell me if i can get an alfa in white?i'm looking to purchase a 159 but i only want it in white,have yet to go down and ask the salesman. can it be done? thanks!
