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

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
