Deposit paid. Now for the 28 month wait 🙁. Feel like a kid that can’t wait for Christmas again, and I’m 59! 🤣.

If you fit the sports exhaust it will break the decibel limits at most venues so your ability to be able to track it will be extremely limited!!

Not worth the money IMHO!

Is upgraded gear linkage bushing now a factory option?

Yes....and absolutely worth it too. Transformed my 5/4/3 gear change :tu:

You know after looking again, I now prefer the look of the twin outlets on the standard exhaust, so thanks for the nudge auto 😉👍

Got it on mine too - no experience of what it is like without but it is very good with it.

Is the factory upgraded gear linkage bushing the same modification as in this video?
How much is it from Ariel (including VAT 😉)?
Are there any other additions to the options list, the one I have is from when I put my deposit down in Feb 2020?

Thanks

Phil

Yes, that's the one.
I can't remember how much it cost but it was less than £100 from memory.
I think it should be standard tbh.
It's transformed the gear change on track. It used to be rubbery and lacked precision but now it's great.
I'm not aware of any recent additions but I've not looked at a list for ages.

Cheers,
Stu

Enjoy the wait...It will be worth it.
LSD (if not standard by now?) is a must.
Remote Brake Bias (nice to play with on track) and Baffled Sump (peace of mind with oil level on track days) are both worth having imo.
Nothing wrong with being 60+
Well done & good luck, Aidan

Just had my gear linkage sorted during my annual service and it was £95 + VAT. Very happy with the shift feel now for sure. I wouldn't rule out the sports exhaust as an additional purchase - it only takes 5-10 minutes to change over and for me it really makes the car sound SO much better on the road. It crackles and burbles and has a much more sporty sound than the standard one. My standard one only gets put on for track days now.

Fast & unusual car + loud exhaust + plus (possibly?) no front number plate = unwanted attention from the Politzei !

I personally prefer 'Q car' performance over a boy racer loud exhaust!
