nothings being done upgrade wise just went back in for custom engine mounts to be re designed to be stiffer and a new stage 2 clutch as first 1 they put in was faulty DAMN AMERICANS :rolleyes:

went to pick the car up as the clutch and mounts had been completed and the cvar was test driven and fine! drove for 5 hours and got in my car after a month away and soon as i pulled away their was nasty rattling noises so turned around and complained after 2 hours of fiddling and searching narrowed it down to the gear box so need to sttrip the gearbox down and replace the bearings on the imput shaft!

loads of hassle a tip for every1 DONT BIG TURBO A MK4 20VT IBIZA WASTE OF TIME!

sorry to hear your having so many problems Rash! :(

are they just replacing the gearbox bits with identical replacements or are they able to install parts able of taking a lot more power / torque? :shrug: from a different car say?

na standard sleeper look on snow plowing low is the best look imo!

the gearbox is having standard bearing replaced aswel (air) people run same gearbox with twice as much power! just unfortunate!

they can really take some punishment then?
didn't realise they were so strong!
like you say, just unfortunate!

the engine mounts your having made, even stronger than the previously custom made mounts must be more or less solid?
might just as well weld the engine in :p
