Burna Posted November 16, 2017 Author Share Posted November 16, 2017 From people's initial responses i thought this would have atleast 20 people on it already.. come on guys, get ya wallets out It's always the same, no one wants to spend the money when it comes down to it. Don't worry, just means we will have something that's rare and exclusive in the UK I can see the American market taking these, they love the auto's and spend money also Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burna Posted November 16, 2017 Author Share Posted November 16, 2017 I also think when the surround is all finished, some better photo's and video of the kit, will attract more attention Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Karl M N Posted November 16, 2017 Share Posted November 16, 2017 (edited) No problem mate. If I end up with enough spare cash sitting about, which I no doubt will do I think it's well worth the money. I've figured it would be a few months before these would potentially roll out anyway Edited November 16, 2017 by Karl M N (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRD-1 Posted November 20, 2017 Share Posted November 20, 2017 Well done Burna, this is mega good work! Couple of questions, can the flappy paddles option work without the shifter being replaced I mean can that bit of electronics be installed only so we still have the stock shifter and the flappy paddles and total control over all 4 gears? Secondly when driving with the paddles if you was say in 4th gear and came to a complete standstill and then moved off would the gearbox then revert back to 2 (or whatever the stock pull away gear is) or would this have to be done manually with the paddles before pulling away?

Karl M N Posted November 24, 2017 Share Posted November 24, 2017 Hate to be a pain but I'm afraid I'll have to withdraw my interest. I've just had the car dyno'd and given a look over, and it's revealed some worrying health issues for the car. It's best that I keep some money set aside to sort this out unfortunately.

Burna Posted November 27, 2017 Author Share Posted November 27, 2017 Well done Burna, this is mega good work! Thanks mate Couple of questions, can the flappy paddles option work without the shifter being replaced I mean can that bit of electronics be installed only so we still have the stock shifter and the flappy paddles and total control over all 4 gears? No mate. To enable you to have paddle shift control, the whole system needs to be changed from mechanical to electronic, which means the shifter has to be changed too. There will be two versions of electronic shifter though, the rotary one pictured in this thread, and also a push button version, similar to the one found in the Aston Martin etc... (example picture attached). Secondly when driving with the paddles if you was say in 4th gear and came to a complete standstill and then moved off would the gearbox then revert back to 2 (or whatever the stock pull away gear is) or would this have to be done manually with the paddles before pulling away? With my electronic shifter, when in 'D' the car will act and automatically shift the same as if you were in 'D' on the stock shifter, so yes from a complete standstill it will do exactly as a stock car, gear 2 or 1. When in 'S', the gears will be held until you change up or down with the paddles, which gives you a much more sportier and involved drive, it also speeds up the gears changes. Hope that helps explain it a little more Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mk4Gaz Posted November 27, 2017 Share Posted November 27, 2017 So in 'S' mode, do you have to manually change down gears when approaching say a roundabout or traffic lights, or will it still automatically shift down to suit engine speed?

On a 'normal' tiptronic car, it will automatically downshift, but you have to up shift in 'manual' mode.

Yeah, I've never driven an auto supra in 'manu' mode. So for instance, if you were in 'D' (3rd) in manual mode, and you were slowing down in traffic or to traffics light etc, would you manually have to downshift to 2nd and then 1st, or would the box downshift for you?
