trish in an emergency you can run the f5 gearbox just means a bit worse fuel economy, great acceleration, not so great top speed, but how often do you run at top speed?
I won't be along it is a 600k round trip for me to Perth.

We didn't have too much trouble what didn't fit we made, it has been done reasonalby cheaply no EFI we wasted a bit trying different turbos and had a dodgey clutch guy then had too much power with new tread and blew a gearbox {not me husband} so just chucked a cheapy in to get by which has also gone.
Also thanks Mowog for the info shame you live so far away

Now isn't a particularly good time for me given the hectic x-mas season is approaching.
I also have a fair bit of work to do on the boy which _may_ happen over the break??
I should be OK from mid jan onwards???

Looks like there is going to be a cruize with the WA Suzuki members if anyone is interested.

A Suzuki only cruize is definatley going ahead with the redline gti people its on the 16th Feb at 7:30pm at this stage it would be great to see a couple of MB'S along. There doesn't seem to be enough interest to have a mb only cruize so it looks like this will be it.
