short

Guys - Put short plates on the FR and found the dealer had drilled for the originals. So as I wanted to get the front / back looking as clean as possible I hunted around and found these fixings here which were originally designed for PCB's in electronics manufacture. The end result is...

Anyone got one? I feel stick travel is much too much on my GTI. They any good? Anyone got pics of one fitted? :think:

Hi, I own a 2002 Ibiza 1.4 Chill and my battery goes flat after approx 5hrs. I am guessing i have a short circuit somewhere but have no idea how to start looking. Yes i could put it into the garage but know it could cost a small fortune for what may be a simple problem to solve. The car is...

After a spin into the gravel at Donington Park yesterday, I've lost the power steering belt. Thus I'm taking a trip back to the 1980's and manhandling the steering wheel. I actually prefer the feedback that the unassisted steering is giving me on the track - just realise how spoilt we've...

I've searched and been looking for one foe ages and just cant finde one. I've seen them for the TDI's so surely someone does them for the petrol version. Does anyone know of anyone or any way of doing it??

Hi peeps, sorry if this has come up again, I like the idea of the short shift linkage but am unsure which is worth the money and which fits my box! Not done much mods but this sounds like a worth while upgrade.

Am looking at buying a mk1 Leon Cupra over the next couple of weeks. Have plans for the usual mods, ie remap,tip etc. Usually cycle to work most days from May to September as it's only 4 miles each way. My question is as to how these short journeys will effect my Cupras running and...

as the title suggests , fitted 1 of these today from awesome, (thanks andy). seems fine , not startling but more feel and better matched to the car. 5 mins to fit , bloody hours if you drop the circlip :cry: pete

20VT any problems regular short journeys? Hi Has anyone any experience of the effects of driving lots of short journeys in a 20vt? Is it likely to cause any problems? I sold my Cupra but would like one again, but do a lot of short school run journeys during the week. Thought bout getting...

i know its been covered and some like it and others dont, whats the overall verdict? can someone with experience with them tell me please? i heard that they increase the problem of it going into gear, how true is this? is it a major issue? ive found a B&M,new one, for £70 ...thats a good...

hi folks, i was just thinking... i have still got my forge short shifter from my leon cupra R, just wondering if this will fit my new leon cupra mk2 cheers

would the short change gear shiffter fit my 1.9 tdi? As i know they are designed for the 6 speed, but can this still be put in a five speed car like my seat leon mk1. please help im loosing sleep.;)

Hi, What are the main differences between the 020 box and the 02A? I've got my eye on a short shift linkage for an 020 box but it looks like the linkage is a fixed rod change rather than the 02A cable linkage..? Is that correct, obviously don't want to be buying a linkage for the wrong...

Hi guys and girls i have at last fitted my short shifter in about 20 mins. It really was an easy job came right off and new one back on so simply. However i didnt have a deep socket kit so i used a spanner to tighten the adjuster thingy. i set mine to about three thirds to the right this is...

Firstly just wanna say thank you forge for the super service again received my short shifter and engine mounts so quickly 2 days i think? Anyways on a half day today decided to visit my bro at work (Car Garage). The engine mount took 20 mins and the car feels a little rough at stand still but...

Hey, Inspired by this thread http://www.seatcupra.net/forums/showthread.php?t=117350 I decided to try to modify my gear shifter for shorter throw. Took off the shifter component to find that the original pin cannot be removed and is pressed into the shifter. The guy in the other thread...

Think I may have just messed things up a little rushing to get my newly acquired shortshifter fitted. I'm not quite sure what has happened but reverse now seems to selet a forwar gear and I can't get it off the drive to test the others. I've still got the original one on there at the moment...

Quick help if poss... Just trying to put my new short shift on. I've got all the bolts/clip off and noticed a white cover/clip thing to the right (just above the "2" in pic). Does this need to come off first? I don't want to pull the shift off and then snap this in the process...

Got my forge short shifter plummed in tonight. 3 min job. Very worthy mod, defo do it if you feel the throw is a bit too much. Infact, just do it anyway. I'd say easy an extra 40bhp with that right there. :)

Hi All, I recently drove my bro's mk4 anniversary golf and he has a short shifter on it and i really was impressed changing gear took like a split second and it tightened up the whole gearchange then i got back in mine and it felt like jelly lol i have heard of one that oes them for mk4 fr...
