didnt understand your last bit there mate but if your on about how hard it is to fit the rs gear its just a case of buying the engine mounts,gear linkage and driveshafts from oddkid creations then chopping a bit from the inner wing then slotting it in! me and my mate will have it fitted in no time hes done a few zetecs into mk4's with the mtx75 box

bigryrs · 10-12-2008, 09:50 PM

Me and my brother were down my lockup today dropping off some stuff and he asks me how much ive spent so far on it so i get my brain in motion and have a quick add up of how much ive spent so far including the car
result
8k
And i reckon by the time im finished it will easily be past the 10k mark
who says fordys aint fun eh lol

glensport · 10-12-2008, 09:50 PM

thanks, sorry i meant how easy can frs running gear be sourced!
