    Guys,

    I will have pics up of the bora with the new rims and suspension up tonite/tomorrow...

    In the mean time, I need some help, I am looking at buying the following two items:



    69-8250TWR Product Specifications
    Product Style: 69 Series Typhoon Kits
    Color: Wrinkle Red
    Replacement Filter: RU-4990
    CARB Exempt: No
    System Type: Short-ram intake system
    Weight: 8 lb (3.6 kg)
    Product Box Length: 19.3 in (490 mm)
    Product Box Width: 14.5 in (368 mm)
    Product Box Height: 8.4 in (213 mm)

    and



    A premium sport shifter engineered for the Volkswagen enthusiast. This Sport Shifter has all of the features a performance minded driver requires. The finest materials, CAD designed, coupled with a short throw results in one extraordinary precision shifting system. This stylized precision shifter includes many of the key features found in race shifters including a stainless steel stick assembly, CNC machined aluminum lockout collar, a billet aluminum pivot and an aluminum knob with engraved insert. All of this combined with a simple straightforward installation provides a professional level shifter.

    The air intake is 190 + shipping and the short shifter is 150 + shipping from the states...

    Is there anything better dollar for value beyond these?

    Carboni is expensive, aem is the same crap and I dont want a filter in the guard like a lot of the kits do...

    man intake looks ok another option is the neuspeed p-flow intake maybe. and i would not bother with that style of short shifter, you can get the ones that go onto the gear box, they seem to do the job just aswell../.
    mk4 the mods begin for round 2 hahahha

      yeah that looks like the B&M shifter that I wanted to get. i ended up just getting the shift kit for the box side of things which works well. I do want to get the B&M too just for looks. be keen to see it if you get it.

        Here are the questions, the p flow, whats it worth and where do I buy from here in Aus...

        As for the shifter..

        I understand there is a shift kit to reduce throw from the gear box side..

        I also understand the one I am after reduces throw from inside the cabin...

        What is the differece in results?

        Will they do the same job if the cut upto 40%?

        Pro's and Con's?

        With my old sti, all i could get was a shifter from inside the cabin... and that did the job.

        I am confused from this perspective?

        Thanks for your help.

        Jim

                now time for a short shift, tossing between either a hpa or dieselgeek @ the box, or a b&m in the cabin... not sure which option yet...
