    mk4 dash conversion

    It has been done before so it is possible and looks really good but i think i heard before that when changing into 1st 3rd and 5th is a little awkward due to the dash been further forward so it dont leave much room for the fingers. Like i said only heard so may be wrog....
  2. You not seen mine its a lot worse than that. Good stuff monkey now get it set up.
  3. Totally agree 1 should never get a brown nose. But if its only a short time with a long tongue, then BBM here we come.......
  4. You cant beat a good car parts rise.
  5. Yea but remember it is Jabba prices and they are a bit cheaper now due to been more common. When i had mine it was the 3rd 1 Jabba had done. Think it worked out 1700 to get it in the country with the import taxes, then smaller pulley and injectors plus fitting and setting up then good old vat. It soon added up. 1700 sounds like a bargain and you dont need to go anywhere, sod saving get to the bank mate.
  6. Honestly not had a minute this week, so not spoke all week to him. Yea just give him a bell, when i 1st got a quote for mine it was 2.5k fitted if i remember rightly but i cant remember if it was with the smaller pulley as well and injectors. Then plans changed and i had the 1900 and BBM at the same time. If you come from High Melton to the posh new houses on the right, it was the 2nd house roughly on the left where the guy in the ultima pulled in so keep an eye open for it.
  7. Get it sorted soon mate. Lookin at your flood pics you live round sp*********h, (dont wanna tell all), well i was round there today, driving through i came behind a Ultima if you know what they are? Just wondered if you knew of it, its a yellow 1? Only 2nd 1 i ever seen and the other was a V8, but this sounded like it had a bike engine in it but im prob wrong, thats why i ask my friend.
  8. They have 3 year warranty dont they, worth checking into it.
  9. If the damage is as small as you say then buy the car back off the insurance and fix it up.
  10. So have we, 2 evos 1 impreza both in plain silver unmarked, hence i dont do much spirited driving round here in rotherham, keep seeing more and more unmarked as well, best unmarked 1 i saw was a vw transporter that was pulling vans up.
  11. Maybe got half a chance me then.........
  12. Not many have been done on corrados especially to 300bhp but if your willing to come to south yorkshire im sure i could take you out for a spin. monkey on here is getting close to the 300bhp mark but its still in bits and he is somewhere near castle combe i believe. Failing that jabba at peterborough have one but its not really road legal so it could be a problem getting out in it.
  13. Thats cheap then from our way to devon in my book
  14. :D On paper you are now entering warp 10 :) I know what you mean with the pipework and i only took mine out and then back in a few weeks later when i forgot how they all went.
  15. Not sure if they only like new stuff or even if they do simple repairs but JBS are not far away in chesterfield, never used them but heard wonderful things. Also in sheffield there is the VWperformancecentre i think its called and its right in the city but i dont have the address
  16. Yep and did you see him fly in the air, hit the barrier head on, bounced off rolled over, hit the other barrier on his side and stopped like that.
  17. I do believe he will and judging by alonso performance i dont believe pole was handed to him although i have not seen the qualifying. How bad was the crash though........oh my god.
  18. Cat back ACOUSTIC exhaust system lol
  19. World Rally cars make a new kind of noise, like a 'chirp chirp chirp' I believe this is caused by the boost control system that trys to balance the blow off together with the wastegate. It actually doesn't release all the charge air when the throttle closes, so the inlet is still pressurised, so when you open the throttle again the pipework already has pressure in it so minimal lag. That and igniting fuel down the exhaust to keep the turbine spinning (chirp.. chirp.. bang bang bang!). 8) I just like writing threads with wordy explanations of car noises :lol: Also on rally cars with the sequential shifts it only takes a nano second to change gear so not really much use in bleeding it all off anyway.
  20. Dont know much about cleaning the inside but for the heat transfer through the fins try blowing it out with OFN (oxygen free nitrogen) this will blow any built up dust, dirt etc out of it which will make it more efficient but prob not a huge difference to be honest.
  21. Yep like i said long shot but cheers anyway.
  22. Yep thats the 1 no number plate :) Long shot but you still got the debadged 3 slat grill?
  23. VRT would be cool but I dont think its going to be very economical as they can do 400bhp easily.

    best gearbox

    Well its the same old standard gearbox how it left the factory with 100k on it and not been rebuilt at all. So would it only be through rebuilding the box that something would not be aligned properly or could it be something as simple as the engine and box been taken out of the car and been split so the engine work could be caried out and then not realigned properly when its been put back in the car? And what is backlash in the FD never heard of this before.
