Hey guys and girls, looking at getting a shiftkit for my VX Commodore... and was wonndering if ppl could recommend me a few places in melbourne... would be looking at a stage 2 shiftkit and auto service... i am after a rough price and a contact number for the the place you recommend.. also quick question, is it possible to put a mini spool in a car with irs??? might seem like a stupid question.. but i have heard from ppl you can and from ppl you cant.. thanks in advance..
