Forge Short Shift Kit - Group Buy

[Chuck]

OK have just been speaking with 42DD, and the bottom line is they thought the MK4 -001 kit suits up to MY07 ( correct for the HWY box ), and the 5S MY08-09 -013 kit was suitable for the later MKV Polo ( with the 02A box ). Feedback from Kangfu is that this doesn't fit on the plastic vertical shift mechanism that controls the side to side gearstick movement on the 08-09. I will be sending him ALL the round bushes I have to see if he can work out the ones that fit, as well as another 09 Polo customer who got a MK4 -001 kit direct from 42DD and wanted to order more from me. Between the two of these guys we should come up with a world first late model Polo solution! I will get in a special order for the groupbuy and 42DD are keen to assist getting it correct.

Anyone out there with an incorrect set from either myself ( from the initial buy in ) or from 42DD themselves direct, please get onto me once a solution is sorted and I will swap out the correct bushes for free.

Sorry for the delay everyone, seems we are pioneering down under yet again!

Thanks Greg....ill check my build details tonight and shoot you a PM with more info....we might be able to get the correct set out first time instead of me returning the wrong ones

I really want more reviews on the short shift before I decide to jump in. I do drive a lot in rush hour, and making the shift a lot more hard work is not my goal. I do like the idea of shorter shift though... I hear that there is a setting from short to short-short. What sort of extra effort are we talking here? My car currently with all washers replaced do slot in very nicely.

basically, you're going to have to start taking musashi protein powder until you're able to bench a 150kg 5 rep max at the gym...

Are your coil overs in yet? What shocks were you running previously? I'm in the market to start upgrading my terrible stock shocks on HR springs combo.

[kaanage]

If you already have shorter/stiffer springs, you could just get some good dampers that match up to the higher spring rates.

So when will we be pm'd about payment etc?

Hey Guys,

Apolgoies for the delay. Still no reply from Rennenhaus. I'm going to assume Ian is on holidays. Let's wait till Monday and see what happens.
