They're the best group for that kinda thing.

You may see they're also a forum sponsor.

Id think the majority of aucklanders would have had dealings with them and rate them highly. Ive bought some things off them and they were good to deal with.

Also, HOLY FREAKING GIGANTO SIGNATURE PIC BATMAN!

Ray is a good guy always been very helpful when I've got parts of him. Really knows his sh*t

[Matth5 471]

Seemed good when I was there to grab some parts a while back, helped me diagnose a faulty aux fan, sold me a used one cheap and told me it was easy enough to install myself (which it was). Unlike another place which told me it was a big job and would cost $500 excl. parts.

Wish they replied to emails though... I've sent a few and have never heard back.

[KwS 2421]

I tend to PM them, and get replies pretty smartly.

Just bought a wing mirror part from Ray earlier this week. He's very helpful. I will definitely go back to him as I need more parts.

[David James 2]

Ray and his team are just the most helpful guys you will ever come across. His prices are sharp, his knowledge is second to none and they stock almost any part that’s needed. A+++++++

They have converted two of my cars to manual - 'drive in - drive out' no issues whatsoever, perfect.

I've noticed their conversion prices are awesome. Presumably they keep your autobox afterwards and given the refurb/resale value of them allows a tidy offset to keep the pricing down? I have also heard nothing but good about them but cannot vouch personall.

My e36 had a Jatco box which had no value. E46 uses the same box as SMG.

I thought the bellhousings looked different so assume you still need to cannibalise a valuable manual to make it happen?

Done properly you machine your existing one for the detents, I believe. There are after market shifter solutions now where you can avoid that if you want.
