Just a word of warning to all you kids looking for the UUC shortshifter

FORGET IT !!!!!!6 weeks I've been waiting and still not even shipped !!!!

2 phone calls and been promised it would leave the next day !!

Then I'm told (in best yanky accent) "its outa stock at the moment... Where in Ireland do you live... is that near London? .... NO !!!! .... Is it near Dublin..?.".

If this is the quality of the staff I'm are dealing with ... god knows what the product will be like ...... if it ever gets here

It had better be worth it !!!!!!!

Most people seem to be happy with them. I'm looking for one at the moment although I'm hoping to get one privately.

Steve, we had a group buy that went on for months!!
Lots of delays etc etc...

Many people dropped out, but eventually it arrived and was worth the wait.

Thx Steve

You did tell me that before...... but I had already ordered it

I hoped it would get here for my birthday but that has passed 3 days ago so ......... never mind

I say f%ck that mentality. You can trail back shipping all the way, so you will know what "It will leave today" means.

Just get the Z3 or Z4 shifter, I will write a comprehensive story on fitting mine somewhere around 2027 when the 'box is coming out for the new clutch

StevieBoy · 12th August 2006, 00:43

Is the z3 or z4 shifter a good job?

Easliy fitted?

Cause I am fed up waiting

At this rate... I'll be as old and grey as Farell (oops sorry):p
But without the "Bra"

Yes I'm interested in this as well! If the mechanics and feel are similar then I can just run over to the stealer's and grab one!

When I ordered mine, I just bought it through one of UUC dealers, much easier to do business with than direct with UUC themselves, who are hopeless.

I got mine delivered to Australia (somewhere between London and Dublin) in around a week.

Australia......is that near Pluto....I can hear them now

jrobbo · 12th August 2006, 01:22

Well done, Pluto is usually used as the third triangulation point (with London and Dublin) to locate Australia, at least that's how Captain Cook found it.
