Few MK2 Questions
« on: 10 June 2005, 22:27 »
Well peeps I need a hand with a few quiries!

Few things I want to do to the car,

1)Fit power steering and GTI collum
2)Fit bigger break disks (and ABS - I know im probabaly dreaming lol  :grin:)
3)MFA stalks
4)5 Speed Box
5)Leather interior

Now the PAS rack will go on I presume, but how would I mount the pump on a 1.3? is it even possible? and what are my breaking options? I would like to have vented and grooved disks on the front and preferably a rear disk conversion how do I go about this? - breaks are crap and I want an upgrade, but also a 20vT conversion may appear in the next few years so I will be needing "phat breaks"

Now as for the MFA stalks do I need the GTI collum before I can fit them or will they work on the older smaller diameter collum?

The 5 speed box or "4+E" will go on the 1.3 but is it a strait swap or do I need a different bellhousing?

And also the bloody throttle cable falls out of the rubber gromet, I have found this to be due to the hook bending on the end of the cable, has anyoen else had this problem and is there a solution? (I thought of welding a washer or something to the hook end to stop it from comming out but it would be hard to get a welder in there tbh)

Also can ABS be fitted I highly doubt this is possible but has anyone ever come accross it on a MK2?

Leather interior - prices and were to buy? GTIJOE could refurb my seats in leather I suppose? price joe please lol  :grin:

I'd start by replacing the throttle cable as welding it might not give you the desired results...
