Iv told a porkie lol its actually a corsa shifter and there the same size as a Nova just cut 3" off either end of the nova and corsa end and swap them over, main reason is because my exhaust decides to hit keep jumping off the rear centre hanger on 1 side and then vibrates and annoys me lol also it just looks kool lol

[Nobby]

steels look mint mate, is that pottz old cage??

[Nobby]

Well havent updated this for s bit lol

had problem after problem lately finally fitted up all the nitrous and then as i went to test it the coilpack died :( so a sourced another and it ran fine really, so went to santa pod to test it and it pissed down and i had 1 run at 14.1. So decided to go down the following weekend and car seemed fine so pulled up at pod signed on etc etc then 1st run it splutered abit so i just thought it was cold etc, so 2nd run it just wouldnt rev clean at all tried a few things and she wouldnt go. So back on the trailor and went home! Decided that it was possibly plugs and/or leads dodgy so i replaced them both along with a very worn looking inlet manifold gasket and she seems fine now. However the exhaust broke when putting on the towing dolly :( so still have that to sort that out but today i decided to fit my weber 2wd cossie fuel regulator and gauge after pulling the plugs out and them being basically white with a posssible fuel reg fault that could of caused a plug to burn out! Shes now running sweet as a nut ( touch wood ) at 3.5bar fuel pressure just need to sort exhaust and try nitrous as it hasnt ran right since i fitted it grrrrrrr!!

I cant believe how much different a RJ linkage makes compared to standard. Removes pretty much all slack.
