that does happen!!

Of course they want to move on, they lost! I'm not overly impressed with the fact they tried to bomb the crap out of us aswell

I hear that the rallye rear floor pan is being sold by the dealer again

they get sticky and dont return properly when released, mega common problem as the design isn't all that cracking

agree with that

if you were closer to me then i would take a look no problem. you are more than welcome to come to me though :) it is quite often difficult to diagnose these sort of problems in person let alone across the net. i can understand you wanting someone to drive the car as people have different perceptions of how a car feels. unfortunately when a car doesnt feel "quite right" it can be a combination of little things or a part starting to fail under load. i guess that you work with computers, so you could compare it to a computer running slow if you like... its probably loads of little things but they all need addressing (replacing) before it feels right again. im sure all garages would go through the same process of replacing components until it solves the problem. if you can replace the parts yourself it would be alot cheaper. the usual suspects are: track rod (tie rod) ends bottom ball joints wishbone bushes top mounts rear axle bushes duff suspension

When i sold the engine, everything went, gearbox, ECU, loom etc. In answer to your question Pete, i'm not sure whether the original mounts will be compatible with the new gearbox, my guess is probably not, but I'm some what inexperienced when coming to something this major, so we'll see how it goes? that's cool, it's much better to retain as much of the new loom as possible anyway, so you've forced your own hand on that one! as for the box, i would have thought (can't confirm though) that the original corrado box would have gone straight onto your lump, meaning you could retain the oem driveshafts/mounts etc etc. as it is now, i don't think the 6-speed box will drop straight onto the mounts; you'll probably have to chop them about to make it fit. also you'll possibly need to get some custom driveshafts made up due to different lengths/fittings (but you won't know without trying). best of luck with it all anyway - looking forward to seeing how it all comes together :D[/quote:2i6ppf70] i think that mk5 gti box will bolt straight in in place of the g60 box as its like an 02A box rather than a mk4 6 speed box. thats why im offering to swap with him! :lol:

thats the million dollar question at the moment! when you back here?

cherers. i cant take the credit as i bought them already modded!

you dont want that 6 speed box, you want a nice g60 box like mine! to help you out i will swap with you :tumbleweed:

Cheers mate, u got any pics of em in yours? Are they electric right? How'd u wire em up? not electric and ive done away with the height adjustment aswell as you would never need it!

i would imagine it will be a trip to powerflow for the exhaust as i freaking hate doing them! it should be good fun anyway

they fit, you need to make a custom subframe to make sure they sit low enough. nice seats though, im running some black leather ones. do a little search and you will find some info

they are only gsf hoodies, but ive got t shirts and a hat aswell :lol: i dont work there either! Fella! How we doing? So when are you and Jof free to help get this motor in? :grin:. I was going to ask you to come and have a look and see what you thought etc.[/quote:1dmxxo9w] yeah mate i'm good. yeah we need to come and have a measure up and see how we are gonna fit this! shouldn't be too hard. is the box a 6 speed one?

they are only gsf hoodies, but ive got t shirts and a hat aswell :lol: i dont work there either!

What wobble are you talking about exactly?!

You should have burned off down the road to see of they could keep up. Shame they didn't come back cos I would have loved to hear that you shot the c@nt with a rifle! Scum bags!

looks like a real chore doing that :lol:

I got insured with greenlight. All mods declared including engine conversion, fully comp, 25 with 7 years no claims. £430 protected

I'm pretty sure tesco is 99 shell is 97 and esso is 96/97. Normal stuff is 95

I know a man who snapped one in half in his mk2 gti! We wet ourselves when we found what had happened! How the hell it snapped we don't know!

Get it done!I can get mine for £17 plus the vat but if we can find the same stuff cheaper I'm on it!

why would the crank be bent? just replace it, no worries

had 4 wheel allignment done? properly?! wishbone bushes and rear axle bushes are also good calls. if the suspension is old then it might want renewing. are the track rod ends genuine?

whats wrong with the ride? not handling right?
