Any ideas what gearbox I should be looking out for mate?

Is the Gold 1.8T a 6-speed? Or more along the lines of S3 ect?

No-one any ideas? Someone must have got this repaired before?

is it more worthwhile going down the road of changing to a 6-speed gearbox? Or is that just more hasstle?

I usually go every year but had to miss this one, was it any good?

You go on the strip? What times you get?

I done mine myself with the kit from Kufatec, cost me around £85 all in

I always thought it was just me, my fuel economy went up when I switched to V Power, seems more powerful/responsive too if thats possible

I have the same clutch on mine, it seems to be a mixture of mainly Sach parts with some ECS. # 20-30% more clamping force than stock clutch! # Faster spool-ups & more horsepower! # Kit uses OEM Sachs VR6 Clutch pieces # Kit is good up to 200-250 wheel Horsepower & up to approx 275lbs of whee...

Very nice, can see just from the pictures how much work has gone into that! Well impressed, I'll probably end up "running my car into the ground" and doing this with it in the long run. Not really for competing, just track days ect! I will hopefully get to see you at some events this year!...

The only way I could do it is by jacking the suspension arm up (mount the jack under the plate where the bottom of the spring sits with a bit of wood) Fix the 3 bolts up at the top of the suspension under the bonet, jack the suspension up untill it is raised high enough to get it into the bottom sec...

How come Awesome have stopped Revo maps and gone back to APR?
