So i might want one (and actually get one)
finally!!!
However last time i went to the supposed importers they quoted some stupidly ludicrous price and i walked out laughing!
Does anyone have any contacts, it's a 2003 SRi (same stick as the turbos i believe) however it's different to the pre 2001 version stick which is totally different....
Anyone know of a good place to get one? i am happy to spend ~$300 or so, however last time they quoted me a min of $450 possibly 500..!!
Help anyone?!

I got a B&M shifter for the Cali and it was about $250 so the astra ones should be about the same

Cheapest place I found it was here (http://www.lmperformance.com/2839/23.html). Unfortunately the freight was the killer.

dunno if they do or not...your best bet is to go inside there and have a chat...i got mine cost price as my called up and said i was pickin 2 shifters up for a company paying cash and so i just went in and paid....they are sweet..much better churping tyres when changing and feels solid and heaps lower too...i think revolution racegear have them well priced and sell to public...should be round 280
