Fucking Hell :shocked!: that's still got me chuckling to myself :lol: as the saying goes "Fools and their money are easily parted"...and a nice Phat healthy Amen to that one! Thanks for the links Phat that has made Monday just fly by! :wink:

Ooooooh thinking of putting on some 16" rims, you peeps reckon that a 3.64 final drive will still be OK ?? :?

Got AP Tuning to send it as Classic Car part thus negating the import taxes..muhahahahahaha "I love it when a plan comes together" come on all you old codgers who used to always say that at the end of an episode??? :roll:

LOL, WTF didn't look down that far someones got a good sense of humour ;)

Right managed to take this of the my holiday snaps! This is a picture of me and the girlie on holiday in Goa. Yes thats me just after absolutely papping myself whilst being towed around parasending @ 200 ft plus by some "Local goan nutters". As you can see im more than just anxious to get my feet back down on Terra Firma and considering ive had vertigo all my life is wasn't one of my smarter "lets have a go ideas". Im a sucker for a bargain as it only cost about 5 quid I really did get my moneys worth!! :shock:

Thought you guys 'n' Gals might appreciate this link ;) http://www.syclone.freeserve.co.uk/rivals_cars.htm

........................................Nice There were some bloody funny pic's in amongst that little lot and some even funnier one liners. :lol: Its not that i haven't got the balls to post just I aint got any pics on file since the last ones I uploaded crashed me hardrive ! shaking2:

Morning all ! Well my credit card has just taken another hammering :twisted: (evil bloody things) and Ive got my Peloquin LSD winging its way to me from the good old US of A. 420 snots all in....pretty damn cheap if this mod is as good as everyone saiz it to be (only kidding I know its the Mutts Nutts) Hopefully I wont get stung by fuggin customs again ( vsr controller 34 quid customs wanted an extra 19 for their trouble :mad: ) Did you have to pay import duty Phat? if so what did the cheeky gits ask for?

Thanks guys, so the perishable items like bearings and 2nd gear synchro's are they VW only or common ? Drives needed to order as extra are gonna be what then fellas ? I am a total gearbox/tranny :shock: Noob !

Thanks Phat, these guys are gonna sort it http:// [url=http://www.cdtransmissions.com/]http://www.cdtransmissions.com/ Im still on original wheels and intend to stay that way. I sit at about 100 on the motorway, its got to be worth a full rebuild you reckon ? Lastly that Pel kit has got all i need apart from sevice items and are they VW only bits or common ? Thanks for now

Right well up for this mod im gonna order from scirroco.com and keep the 5 speed box what extras will it need as they seem to have the full kit ! Drives gonna need changing if so which ones ? he saiz he'll insert LSD for about 175 quid, will the gearbox need a rebuild and what does that consist of parts wise.....Soooooo many questions thing is im against the clock here as I need to get it all in hand before I go to Notts to do my DAS course the morrow. Cheers guys in advance of any info. ;)

Yeah Ive managed to drop the box out and do the chains but I really need the car so she's going back in for the time being. [/url] http://www.vwracing.co.uk/forsale.php Seems to be a fair few bargains to be had here ...however you'd need to be pretty switched on to make sure your not being sold something that is well past its sell by date !

LOL I haven't even finished my recent set of mods and Im already planning my next :roll: thanks for all the input peeps how much money should I reckon on getting the job done by Stealth with Phat's gearbox suggestion and dont they do a 6 speed box with a LSD already fitted ?

Wow what an asshole you seem to be, get over yourself !

Yeah thanks for the usefull input ! :salute:

:shock:

Good info Henny ;)

Thanks dude.

Any of you peeps give me some advice on this please whilst Ive got the gearbox out should I bother to change ?

Cheers guys...it just needed a bit of a hefty clout (still has been on for 170k), brut force and ignorance why that evaded me I have no idea! ;)

:help:

Kev ive already done that with the drivers side but the passenger side shaft seems to go right in...I dont want to remove it just wanna move it up oot of the way !!
