Lemon's X47 track ST

Most on here would know Goodwood for their annual Festival Of Speed held there in late June or early July, with all of the recent, vintage, and historic race and rally machinery run there (and on the hillclimb as well).

I would love to do the hill climb but I don’t think it’s open to the public!

Just picked up a Coolerworx shifter for £433 including taxes and shipping. They have 30% off for Black Friday and couldn't resist.

Installed the Coolerworx shifter today, and not one part of the installation was enjoyable! I used the video from Spark Plug Steve as reference, but it seems they have revised the design since his video came out. You have to wrestle the shifter cables into place, and there's barely enough room to fit a spanner inside the frame to tighten everything.

However, it is in now, and it feels absolutely incredible!

My previous set up was the stock shifter on stilts. This worked surprisingly well and I'd recommend anyone to do it if you don't have the centre console. I also had a Pumaspeed short shifter which I removed.



They supply a new linkage for the shifter cable and you need to cut the old fitting off. The new fitting is held in with grub screws, but I think I will add a small blob of weld next time I'm at the garage to ensure this doesn't pop off.



All installed:





I spent about 20 minutes adjusting the screws to set the end of travel for each gear. Everything feels so crisp and sharp, it's quite incredible!
