        Unsure, as I got it from Gareth who has decided to put in a cable shift 5 speed into his Mk1.

        Its a series of large diameter shafts with rose/ball joints.

        Very nice.

        Sorry I couldn't be more specific.

            • install coilovers and new wheels tyres.still need to adjust the height after installing arches.need to look into getting rear disk brakes set up and i bit consern how does converting from drums to disk may change wheel clearance etc.

                  • did you check your bearings? they could be on thier way out/too dry. easy to replace, not expensive either.

                    • Put a notch in the subframe/stress bar so that the dump pipe won't hit anymore, made up a bracket to support the turbo which will hopefully prevent the turbo studs from stretching/nuts coming loose and then blowing out the gasket. Very slowly ticking things off the May supersprint todo list. Have to figure out how to fix the fuel surge issue - damn internal line in the fuel tank has rotted away.

                            • Cleaned and re-oiled my air filter from all the filth that had stuck to the old oil in the filter. A slight performance difference was definately noticable!
