Fitted my short shift gear stick and also a fix'd rear strut brace today...
How have you found the short shift? Does it feel like a new box?
Not had a real chance to give it some yet Dave, just been around the block in it, to make sure I could get all gears, will update tomorrow mate.. did you get my last PM?How have you found the short shift? Does it feel like a new box?
Surely you can feel the difference in the gear change? Some say 2nd can be hard to find but I never had that prob personally
Pm incoming.....
Think we all may have done that at some point mate
just never can remember how much officer (take this one time I drove back from Devon and managed about 37mpg at an average speed of 75mph
.....so if that was the average speed, how fast was I actually traveling lol)
Fitted a Catfabs power steering cooler. 10 minutes!! After taking 4.5 hours to get the new accessory belt on. My trusty crowbar did the trick in the end!!!
Cleaned the throttle body and attmepted the EGR but failed as I didnt have a big enough spanner.
Then took the slack out of my throttle cables, you gotta love cable ties although they are starting to hold a few too many bits of the car in place lol
Washed it, then floored it too clear the engine out and took pics

Went for a good drive today to see what the difference would be like now I have fitted the short shift..... well pleased I can say, no probs selecting any gears and feels much slicker now...
Also fitted my boot spoiler... have a look and see what you all recon..... waiting for some comments on this.....
Had a visit from Alan, pid 16v today, nice to meet you mate, had a good long chat, thanks for the help with the spoiler as well, here it is mate, in all it's glory, seeing as you didn't see the finished article before you left.
Click on the first pic and it will take you to my photo bucket to see the other pictures of my Cat.

ClassicFront ARB bushes and droplinks for me, plus the plug change.
Still got a squeak in the suspension but I think a little lube will solve it.

Your quoting is all messed up so I'm not sure if you typed this or Dave did but... is that's Dave's old Scooby spoiler?
Chased down a foglight fault. Not fuse #26 as usual, but fuse #8 in the engine bay box. Not sure why. Probably happened when I removed/replaced the lights earlier when painting though.
Dave told me you bought the cougaru spoiler. Was mine was upon a time.
Colour match appears close doesn't it?

It was in the van last week Chris
I didn't look in the van because I spent a good 40 minutes driving around Shropshire trying to find the van. And then when I got back I got distracted by being sociable.
