The steering wheel can be added with paddles for electric shifts so may go that route. Il chat with marc on monday. When you say reasons...... What reasons?

I have a little boy coming in jan tony so the mrs might let me go away for a week of im good until then. I will ask.... :twisted:


Congrats on the new baby :)

Buttons for shifting are almost impossible to hit everytime especially as you will be using your thumbs while trying to steer. Paddles are almost universally used because you can use your fingers and don't have to be so precise. You really need to use Paddles mate.

This is what I use on the Zeus, as cheap as chips and works really well.

Pneumatic systems are 'easier' on the transmission than electric but they are significantly more expensive. Good luck with the build, I look forward to seeing it out and about.

i have test driven a few early pdk caymans they have sorta buttons on the steering wheel(round the wrong too) and its not a nice way to change gear.could be better with a quicker rack i spose but paddles are way better.
