Picked some 100mm shafts and hubs up tonight so theyve now got all the mechanical bits they need to do the swap.

Il pop down Friday and see if there's any progress

Mat were did you get your intercooler 

[DanChave]

Can't wait to see some engine bay pics dude! You must be well excited!

[minimat]

Il take plenty don't worry, trust me I'm more than a little excited!!

The intercooler came of egay, it's a toyo sport kit for a mk4 golf. Obviously it will need some alterations, but the general layout of pipes shouldn't be far off. Plus I won it for £131 brand new!! Some dreamer on here wanted 160 for the same thing second hand!!!!

Collected a MINT late mk2 gti interior on my way to work today, front seats drop straight in, rears are gonna be donors and be used to retrim mk1 seat.

Hit the first of many problems, the 02j box I have has 108 mm drive flanges on it, not 100mm as I need. Does anyone have any ideas what box I need to take the flanges off that will fit my box but are 100mm??

Late 02A have the 100mm flanges with the Allen bolt in the centre like the 108's do, direct swap 

[travisreeve]

02a box is what im using on my conversion

[minimat]

Thanks for that, next daft question what car came with a o2a? And is it simply a case of undo the bolt up the centre pull one out n slip the other in? Or do you have to rebuild the box?

Thanks for the help.
