short

Hi, I was told that getting shorter wishbones or a shorter lower arm would help alleviate a tyre wear problem I've been getting from the inside of my tyres. I've had a Weitec ultra GT suspension kit fitted. But this was happening on the standard suspension as well. I've had it 4 wheel aligned...

Hello everyone, I drove to work this morning and got a light up on the dash, so had a look in my Scangauge to see what code was stored for the fault,it showed P1421 secondary air injection valve circuit short to ground is this code anything to worry about? And Im guessing maybe it would be a...

hi everyone. i know its been done to death! but i've onyl found two threads about it.. is there a website that sells the TT short shifters? its just the only thread with a link in it doesn't work anymore. i've checked on ebay and theres nothing does anyone have a part number for...

Due to 'cheap' maintenance a new engine was needed in my early Mk 1 Leon TDi. The ECU had originally been chipped by Superchips to give 140bhp. New engine only gives 110 bhp but an unusual torque curve which is almost straight until 4,000rpm. Obviously the ferocious low end grunt is now...

Had my Mk1 tdi 150 remapped @ ptorque on Monday.Which was awesome. The car now drives like a bit of a beast. the only issue I have is that it only made 177bhp & 318lbft :drool: Will seemed to think it could be a MAf issue as it was a wee bit low on the old horsies? Any ideas welcome as to if...

I have had my 1st Ibiza for about a month now and I have a couple of annoying faults. 1) If you give it a short run (less than 15 Mins) then turn off, it will only restart by towing. Starter motors spins fine for ages, but no lift off!!. I have noticed, while its cranking, the odometer reads...

Hi all, I'm trying to wire an amp to power a sub in the boot and I can't find anywhere in the bulkhead to feed a power cable without removing the dash. Am I being daft? And also where would you reccomend I trail the cable i.e. route of least resistance. Oh and pictures would be...

Just investigating on fitting one this Spring & yes I've done a search :D ........I presume this makes changing gear slicker/faster ? :shrug: Are they easy to fit or has there been any guides on here where I can be pointed towards ? :shrug: :confused:

Hey folks; Something i've always wondered, let's say, you worked, 5 minutes down the road, but not the best walking route due to no path / main road etc! Obviously weather at the moment as well... Would driving there, and back every day cause damage to the engine/car? Not ragging it or...

as per title?

Thinking of ordering a forge short shifter... for anybody who have got these please let me know what you think of them? is it worth it and what do the gears feel like etc? many thanks! just overall whats your feedback on these?

i'm missing gears more often than not... so i'm thinking of gettin a short shifter to ease my driving experience. been on the Forge website and they stock such. is there any other companies that makes such in which it'll be cheaper? thanx, RodneyA

Hi all couldnt really find much info on the 5 speed while searching so here it goes, i know you can do a diy on a 6 speed shifter to make it a short shifter, well reduce the distance between gears, is there any way the 5 speed shifter found on 5 speed boxes obviously can be turned into short...

Hi Guys, have been reading about a short shift for a while and i think i am going to get one. Woop! but, has anyone shortend the actual gear stick? Like on some audis the actual gear knob is really low. Has anyone done this, and is there any need to do it? Thanks

Not really a problem, for you guys that have fitted the TT short shift was it just a matter undoing the bolt that holds the shifter down and giving it a really good pull? Reason i ask is ive done just this and i cant seem to budge it, I wasnt sure if there was a certain way of getting it...

Hi guys, was looking at short shifs on forge website are they a gd bit of gear to buy or just a waste of money?. and does any one know of any gd induction kits for seat leon cupra r 210 thanks:clap:

Since there is no short shifter available for the mk4 I am gona try to malk my own. Something along the lines of this. Only problem is there dont look like there is enough meat on the bracket to move it safely (to where the red circle is)!! I'm gona have another look when I get time at...

Got the B&M short shifter copy from ebay, instructions said you need to remove the exhaust, heat shield and tray sealing the linkages from the outside. Everyone i asked did this but i couldnt be arsed fannying about under the car. With a little bit of skill i had it done in 1hr all from...

Has anyone used this? If so, is it any good? http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=110205112041&ssPageName=STRK:MEWA:IT&ih=001 I'm looking at maybe getting that and the OEM TT Short shift from TTS Roadsport, to hopefully reduce the throw. Cheers, Martin
