There are a few of us over here wakdog - but you dont see that many, even in Sydney. I got together with a couple of the guys in Sydney and all three had vr's - it was the most I have seen together over here! Link in case you didnt know: http://forums.vwvortex.com/zeroforum?id=137

The changes with this kit involve replacing the stock shift lever with a stock-looking item with a different throw (the oem boot remains so everything looks the same inside the car) and changing a pivot point at the end of the shift cable, so it does mean work in the engine bay, but not under the car - there is nothing gearshift related near the exhaust/under the car......have look down by your battery, near the shift weight if you have one - the thing that looks like a hammer - its the two cables there. The engine bay work took me half an hour and withe right tools on hand and having done it

I have now installed the side to side reduction part and the overall change from before - even with new motor mounts and tranny mount - to the final outcome is just night and day. I can't even begin to think what it would be like going back to old motor mounts, a dud tranny mount and the old shifter mechanisms.

So far I have only installed the modified gear stick inside the car, which looks after the fore and aft throw shortening. Tomorrow, and with the engine cold, I will install the side to side reduction kit and the uprated bushings. Even without this extra work, the product is a

Good Short shifter here: http://www.dieselgeek.com/Detail.bok?no=295

The most Barry thing about it is that it is registered as a 1.4....so he says it will cost 20 quid to change this from dvla, but the sale price will be substantially cheaper without an MOT ? Sounds like that 20 quid isnt quite right!

Look good. Do you know how they compare with the Wilwood 11.3" or Brembo 328mm setups?

Thats a great effort. Would like to know the details of polishes used.....

OK, Something was lost in translation. The ECS bolts have 12.9 marked on them. That is all I have to say.....

I'm pretty sure that exhaust will make baby Jesus cry, but hey, whatever floats your boat.

What he said....or stainless.
