my last order arrived from MINISPARES..
i can say i am very pleased with their service.. the package arrived in 3 days (as they promised). Not like MINISPORT, who say 3 days and means 3 months :thumbsup:

I was going to buy one of those cheap quickshifts but after some reading on here, those are crap. So i got the KAD one.. quality is top and all fit great. It make difference, especialy with the reverse gear (using the alloy collar on it). Of course i have not tested it on the car, but gears are close to each other

they are expensive i can say, but they worth it (especialy if you have bucket seats and you have limited room like me)
I had a Youtube video link somewhere saved with one of those on a Mini but cannot find it now.. i will post it if i find it

.. and yes I was unlucky again.. It seems that the engine fell down somewhere while shipping, and cover, coil, and some other parts are broken now :thumbsup:

Could the fall make any problems to the engine at all? I guess it was a strong hit!
