By the time you've bu99ered about with the bolts and paid the shipping and duty you might as well go for a Quaife.

See 'sounds just like a Golf' adverts for further details.

Yeah i think you can get them to your door for around £300+ (thats with the box being marked gift $60 to avoid duty). but then the hassle and time of fitting the diff, buying the replacement bolts and washers and ARP fitting bolts. I would have £400-500 and with that you can pick up a 02a box with a quaife already fitted. so i will probs keep an eye out for one of them later in the year :)

Well, what an improvement the new box has made!! drives so much better now. it should even better once i get the tracking done and some decent tyres on the front.

Just went through all f*cking 90 pages of your thread, and I gotta say respecttttttttt  :shocked:

It's unbelievable how you transformed your 1.4 crappy red metal box to a 20vT matt black Borbet monster :D

The engine conversion, the spraying...Seriously, one of the best threads in this forum.
