I need to wait until FD have a sale!

I'm non technical Mike so I wouldn't know. The FD website, perhaps a little cagily, says: "Customers also report improved clutch wear from DuoSelect (F-1) models as a result of faster, more positive clutch engagements". so they're not making the claim, their customers are. Although on the...

Because quicker changes = less clutch slippage = less clutch wear = longer life per clutch. At least that what I have been told. I was going to post on this to request views of those who have done the FD DBW conversion.

Lets see: with all due respect and in MY humble opinion - disagree (unless maybe it's a golf club in Italy), um disagree and let's see..definitely disagree.

Each State has their own legislation so he could drive it to the Western Australian border and then take his chances... which would be quite good because we don't have MOT or any roadworthy checks in WA.

I bought some from FD, who kindly took them back into stock when I found they were illegal here, and therefore could cause insurance issues in the event of a claim. Also didn't like the idea of extra stress on the wheel bearings.

Hi Adam, its a tentative YES from me, subject to proof that it works on our cars. How many units do you think we need for an Oz group buyu? my indy mechanic will probably grab one to try out. Re the display issue, if the unit works so much better that the original and is good for the life of...

Interesting, not one reply from someone who has one of these fitted. are these new to market or something?

I can't work out who you are referring to, despite some googling. Hint please?

You'd expect better given the cost!

Should fit a QP5 then?

Completely understand. Local expertise is one of the main reasons I have the classic cars I have. Also the reason I no longer have the Jensen (nobody could tune the 6 pack carby properly, and the reason I won't buy a TVR with a TVR engine.
