shiftR111 2.0 Prototype Testing

We have been testing the prototype in Lee's 2011 Elise for the last couple of weeks.  He has been very happy with it so far.  The second proto has now arrived and we have a couple of changes that we need to test out to improve the kit.  This one will go in the 111RS and then we will modify the first one and install in the ArtCar2 for track testing.

The two issues that this first one had are the reverse lock out block is not thick enough and the base plate has a hole that does not line up perfectly with the floor of the car.  Both will have an effect on the feel of the kit so we want to get them right. 


One thing that is clearly better is the action of the reverse lock out collar.  Eliminating the cable deletes one adjustment that makes the install even easier.  We believe it should also make for better durability and reduce the need for any future adjustments.
