Where did you source the Kartboy bushes Matty?...I'm after the shifter ones (for 6MT of course).....emailed Kartboy in the US but no reply. Contacted TuSpeed...they have one but not the other in stock...

Kartboy USA won't ship to Australia because there are Australian distributors, and the Aussie distro's are double the price from the US. I purchased mine from [url]www.cvrmotorsports.com[/url] The dollar is rising every day so now is a great time to purchase. Mine came to $158 USD for all 4 plus shipping, and landed in about a week.

I'll definately be buying more from them.

Thanks Matt...their prices certainly seem very reasonable.

I'm looking at ordering some mroe stuff, let me know when you want to go

Few updates. got round to Installing the Type-RA short shifter and a few goes later all the Kartboy bushings.

Midway through, dinner and all the bits (note the spring: dog box is an old GC8 box and needs the return spring to bring the shifter back to neutral)

So thats front and rear shifter bushings, I also installed the transmission mount bushings and the rear diff brace bushings. The difference has been nothing less than phenominal. There is a noticeable difference in NVH, but then again I have a dog box and no sound deadening so who cares ? :P The noise is deaper tho so its easy to deal with. The shifting is a heap smoother and finds the gears much easier.

I also installed a Perrin PSRS aka positive steering response system, its basically an antilift kit but with better bushings etc than the whiteline ones, a spherical bearing and a grease nipple so you don't need to remove it to re-grease.

stock GD STI on left, Perrin on the right (or left?)
