I'd assume by him saying, "Goes so much harder" It does.

You make it look easy mate, well done.

Is it easy? heh.

ha i did mine on a hoist 8)

goes heaps better than the ole slush box dont it.

im surprised you fitted a gearbox with Bomber and you didnt fit a short shifter to it while it was outa the car.

the conversion isnt that hard, esp if you do some good preperation, have all wiring done etc.
