Hey GJ, I've ordered one and expect to have it for the European Meet on the 26th -- you can check it out then or even test it in your ride.
Or better still, just order one with Andy545 -- I ordered one for Patrick (Thyrus) and myself, and Andy Wong didn't charge any extra shipping costs for delivery to Europe because we ordered 2 at once It works out at around EUR150 each.

Help....I have a burning smell coming from the back end of my car after installing the Sprintbooster??? Any ideas....it kinds of has a rubbery smell to it!

lol, just kidding, but wow my gas pedal is touchy. I have already slid around a few corners and put a few extra stripes on some roads. My guess is that I will have to hit the piggy bank a tad early for some new tires. Because I haven't raced it or anything, the sensation is really that the gas pedal is much more sensative. Also, I was not able to get the large chip part of the SB to fit fully behind my gas pedal. I tried and tried, but it just wouldn't go. As for pushing it into the carpet......there was no room for that at all.

I'd like to take Pete's offer up and try it out at the meet - if we like it we can order together and save on the shippijng costs.

I like what I'm hearing about even more smoother gear changes - but am concerned about touch sensitive pedal...still there's a lot of positive feedback on this thing.

if anything the smoother gear changes are a HUGE plus! I do a lot of highway driving and it's a great improvement when you have to step on it. No more laggy gear changing. IMO this is a no brainer! Everyone should just buy and believe!
