So this happened.

Then I thought I'd give the euro tub a tidy up before retrofitting, ended up giving all the plastics a bit of love
Before:


After:



Much better, now to give the paint some attention

[stefcio007]

what did you use for the front and rear bumper plastic? because it looks good.

[dylan8]

I'll have to check it's name, mate ordered it for me.
Used it on the bora a while back and has kept the trims black and water beading for a fair while.
Might try getting them blacker first before applying more

[anthony--t]

Keen to know also. My mk5 has a lot of black trim on it

[dylan8]

O2j shifter test run on a spare vr box I had in the garage.
Works at gearbox end, now to make work at chassis end

[dylan8]

So after running the car for a few minutes, then heading over to Jarreds to borrow some stands I came back to this. Not quiet sure where it's coming from, and why it's so much compared to the tiny dribble I get on super cold days.


I got stuck into the shifter swap.
The mk3 one is so much more difficult to remove then the mk4. Access to one bolt was a nightmare.
Comparison shot

So far I've installed the o2j to the gear box and run the cables. Just to fix it to the tunnel now

[anthony--t]

You might have made life difficult for yourself then. If you haven't modded the shifter box you'll have to pull it back out, elongate those rear holes and put longer studs into the front ones before modifying the tunnel to put it in.

[dylan8]

Was going to drill the holes before. But wasn't convinced I'd be doing it in the right place.
So yeah, awkward way of doing it but hopefully get a better fit

[madglf3]

Haven't found any more razor blades in the shifter Dyl?

[anthony--t]

If you want to try and do it really well without having to modify the tunnel of the car you could drill a hole in the 02j shifter box in between the current 2 studs which you should remove and then that way would mount up in factory location. I've seen it done before. Just extra mucking around and measuring I suppose.
