the police did ask me to remove my pressed plates when they did the road side inspection however!

Yeah pressed plates are illegal and they are getting tougher on peeps that have these.

I have had mine for 2 years now and I have still not been stopped.

Fingers crossed i wont either ;)
 
Anyone get any problems with fitting the stubby aerial?? I tried fitting mine today and seems to be to short for it to get a thread

You just need to twist the thread out from the aerial itself to make it longer

Hard top explain but hope it helps
 
just reading through this thread...... again.

would the TT short shifter benefit the 1.4 at all? (just want summat to do to my car :D)
 
i saw.

T. Spark keeps sayin to drop a 1.8 lump in mine. But then I need new box, rear brakes and loads o other stuff. would be cheaper just to buy the cupra :D
 
does the tt s/s keep the standard reverse yea. any reason for cutting an 1.5" of the length of the gear stick.

the TT shifter is in the engine bay, not by the gear stick. yes all the shifts and gear selects are kept the same exept they are 20% shorter.

cutting 1.5" off the gear stick is a ghetto way of reducing the throw of the gear stick. drive along and change gear as normal, then hold the gear stick right at the bottom of the stick (near where the ball joint is) then shift again.

the one where you are holding the stick closer to the ball joint, basically you are not having to push the gear knob so far so mechanically shortening the throw.
by doing this though you will have an increased effort load due to the Torque formulae....

Toprque = force x perpendicular distance.

reduce the distance, you in crease the force to keep the same torque.
 
ok cheers for that adam.i should be in contact with you hopefull somtime next week mate.

whats that about then :confused: i sold the wheels to some other mug.



























:cartman: haha just kiddin. yea thats fine mate, im only away on buisness till the 29th of febuary now instead of the 14th of march as i previously said, so you may get them sooner, but no rush as they are yours.
