Any update Alex?

Not really. Just playing with the mapping. Gearbox seems ok at the moment. Cant afford an SQS gearset for a while so if the box breaks again then the car will be sat for a while. Got some finishing bits to do then i will get some pics up.

Any idea where I can get Mountain Dew Alex?

I was getting mine from some Polish boys who were importing Beer. They have moved back to Poland now so I cant get any more. I have 2 cans left :(

I will find another source!

been looking at these do you know if the Synchro-KIT just requires your gears for copying or do they re-cut them and sent them back to you

the dog kit is strong money :blink:

Im not 100% sure, but it looks like you send them your gears (or buy new/different ratio gears from them) and all they use is the 'conus' for the syncro ring to sit on. They make a new stronger gear that the 'conus' sits in. If you get them to supply gears then its an extra 250 euros.

I fancy just getting them to build me a complete box with gears they supply and a final drive back to ibiza ratios as i dont like the golf ratios i currently have.

I will get some more info from them, but we have been talking to them about 6spd dog boxes and seq shift for the race car and some other cars.

You don't have Mountain Dew in UK? If you want to, I'll send you some from Romania [B)]

Cheers from a Vw Polo with BDM GT2871 Turbo kit ;)

Stunning car mate, probably the best ibiza on here? If you get bored and want to sell up let me know ;)

Thankyou :)

If you want to buy it, then please do as its going to be up for sale soon! I need a slightly more practical car as baby was due yesterday but no signs yet.

Ive added some extra bits recently, but you will have to check it out in an upcoming edition of redline.

Any progress on those interior bits that were being worked on Alex? ;)

PM me when for sale :p

They are all done. I had to do them myself in the end as the bloke who was doing them messed me about and did a crap job. Finished them the morning of the photoshoot. I need to work out some prices on the bits. Just let me know what you want making. Proper carbon fibre laying is very time consuming!

You can buy the car now if you like! [B)]
