Do mk4 R32 front seats fit in mk3?

Does work with modification of the rails but imo, the seats are too wide for inside. get some recaro or sparco buckets

Ah okay. When I get around to it I'll measure up and compare. I not sure where to get genuine Recaros from anyways. Are there retailers in Australia or do you have to get them online? I assume for 2 front seats Mk4 R32 vs Recaros would be able the same price?

Should get front and rear 32 seats for 1k.

Recaro's around that for a pair. (Depends on style)

Also brides have an oem ish appearance

Cool beans. I'd be going for Recaros that look period correct so not some of the insane Audi RS looking ones.

Found out I might be able to get them from idealseats. Although this is all just a pipe dream atm until I get a VR6...

Anyone know if guttermount style roof racks that fit hiace vans and such would work with the gutters on the roof, with just a bit of adjustment?

[doridori]

thinking to get the gruvenparts short shifter for the vr6, has anyone got this or anything similar?

for reference:

02A Cable Transmission Short Shift Kit - Gruven Parts
and
02A Billet Stainless VW Shift Cable Repair Blocks - Gruven Parts

Wanting to improve shift feel of the sloppy manual shifter so if anyone has tips or recommendations, please let me know!

Thanks

The side to side is good. Not a huge improvement but helps.

The repair blocks are dud. DO NOT buy them.

There are delrin replacements for the rubber bushings and solid metal ones for the linkage mount on gearbox.

Ah ok thanks for that may get the shifter linkage from gruvenparts then. Any idea where I can get the other bushings?

I see oem replacement bushing replacement kits on ebay but wondering if oem or aftermarket is the way to go.

Car has done 225000kms so things are a bit tired now and need a bit of a refresh so any suggestions would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

42DD sell the delrin shifter bushings

Anyone doing anything exciting to their mk3's?
