AdzC Posted June 6, 2008 Share Posted June 6, 2008 Good looking car and nice one for doing the conversion yourself. Out of interest will you be insuring as a modified NA to TT or just as a TT? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dibbleyuk Posted June 7, 2008 Author Share Posted June 7, 2008 thanks for the great replys guys, Im running the 5 speed box it seems to be fine first and second seem abit short but once its in 3rd it pulls like a train! I found the conversion quite easy, if you know the basics about cars it helps otherwise you would probably end up with problems Im insuring it as a modified NA with a TT conversion, Greenlight seem very good for this and gave me a great quote its actually £200 cheaper than my renewal from sky on the car when it was an NA sky was only offering TPFT where greenlight will do it fully comp with everything declared so thats awsome Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SatSport Posted June 7, 2008 Share Posted June 7, 2008 Im running the 5 speed box it seems to be fine first and second seem abit short but once its in 3rd it pulls like a train! Well done! Have you an LSD? What about the TTauto lsd, lower gearing than the NA?. Could you list the other parts you needed to do the conversion?

IDO Posted June 19, 2008 Share Posted June 19, 2008 I havnt had it fitted to the new engine mate, I dont want to kill it lol Fair enough mate, just didn't know if you had stripped it out as you had that build in the boot if i remember.. May be up for modded.. if there is a few of us like last year it would be worth it just for the laugh!! only pointers a) dont get a pitch next to the monster trucks b) don't spent too long cleaning your car while parked next to the monster truck as when they do a demo dust goes everywhere c)dont pay £8 for a Burger d)i know a tent that serves cold beer and its only £8 to get in Car looks the nuts now though fella.. saving to go the tt conversion myself... may be a wile though... but it will happen!!
