I'm glad thats all cleared up then. My toledo has 4 studs, jays fault he confused me  . You say very very hard to do. Can you go into a bit more detail of what i'm getting my self into pleassseee. I see its a cable change box for starters. Ive got ample time to get it done, although 3-4 months would be good.

280 calipers are thicker than 256, as the 280 disc is thicker. 256 ones will fit 280 carriers but with some pad/disc combos the 256 caliper wont fit over the 280 disc.  You can grind down the slider pins a touch, or use part-worn pads to get around this.

DH, want to explain why you're changing your mind about ABF's?

I'm guessing because a fair few people are buying them to put into their golfs, meaning there are less around for him to have a play with. That's how i read it anyway!

The guy's a mind-reader.

Now leave the engines alone - Danny needs spares and I will in due course!

and there I was thinking that he would have a technical reason, not a selfish reason

ok i'm going to start looking for bits for the conversion. Ive got a 4-1 manifold at the mo with a miltec exhaust. I take it i will have clearence issues with this. Having read some previous threads the g60 down pipe is my best as it has the lamba in it.

Don't over-intellectualise the metal bits of the conversion - the biggest challenge is the wiring.

Your current exhaust can have a lambda boss welded in - cut out an appropriate boss from another system and weld it into your exhaust, maybe on a cross piece between your secondaries.

Or you can pay some monkey firm to do it for you, if you lack basic mechanic skills, like the ability to weld.

[oakgreengolf]

welding is not a problem. just read somewhere on here about clearence issues.
