Title: paddle shifters
Post by: markj113 on September 25, 2009, 05:17:22 PM
Hi, my name is mark and currently own a nicely modded fto.  Lots of carbon fibre and currently fitting an Aston Martin brake setup and Eaton M45 supercharger.

One of the mods I have developed for my FTO is a wireless RF flappy paddle gear shifter for the tiptronic gearbox and after reading around it seems this should also work with the semi auto RX8

Is this a product anyone would be interested in?

Here\'s a pic of mine fitted -

Will fit any aftermarket boss/steering wheel and just 6 wires to connect so very easy to install.

Price would be around £110

Good luck with that, I don\'t there are more than a dozen semi-auto RX8s in the UK!

Having now driven a Automatic Paddle Shift RX8,I much prefer the Manual RX8 :D,as at least you can drop down a gear & overtake if you want,where as the Auto Version,you have to work at it a bit more & look further ahead to overtake !! :rolleyes:
