Simon_2.0t:
Looks great Jay. I like getting jobs like that done. On my list to do.
I see you have some 20mm rear H&R spacers. Thinking of getting some for my Monzas, with the being 7.5, ET51 think would stick out to far? Or be ok? You running any spacers on the front?
Cheers Si

On the rear you will be fine.
On the front I would put a 10mm spacer on. I have no spacers on the front of mine bud.
A bit of bad news, I've just had an email from DsD who say the gearbox they've split has a damaged bell housing. They said I can use my existing bell-housing but I'm not sure what's involved in swapping the bell housing, or whether it can be welded as a repair.
I have gone back to them with some queries and hopefully will hear more today.
Simon_2.0t:
Cheers mate.
Sorry to hear about box issues. Hope all gets sorted soon for you.

Just checked my gearbox and the bell housing is the part that has a hole in it.. so I can't even take my current bell housing off to use on the Touran replacement box.
I've emailed DsD, discussing a 2.0 - 6 speed swap but it's whether they can get the parts and for the cost I can afford.
I've priced it up on Ebay and it's around £650 with a (that's gearbox, starters, both driveshafts and a used DMF/Clutch kit).. A suitable clutch and single mass flywheel for my power is £925 + vat
I wouldn't do it now myself without having enough to throw at it incase bits don't fit, I can't go for another month without my car. I'd rather get the car up and running again with a 5 speed box and buy the 6 speed bits over a couple of months.
We'll see what happens over the next few days. :confused:
