I believe It was your old MkII that I used for parts. Turbo was gone and the manifold was cracked, when I got it. The turbo is now a T2/25 Hybrid, with custom manifold.
You say the pads currently on the car were crap? Any ideas on where to get decent pads?
Lastly, in the past few weeks, I have noticed that 1st and 4th are sometimes very difficuilt to engage. It doesn't seem consistent with worn syncro's. Did it do this when you owned it?
Thankyou
This was my Black Mk2, A friend said he saw a selecta at IA one day that looked like it had a lot of parts from my old car. Given the condition of the car when I had it, its not supprising. good stuff putting it to good use.

I took it to an event once, a bent sprint. It went very good for a stock UnoT with heaps of miles on the clock clock!

Anyway, I put new pads in the back and machined the rotors, they should be ok. It needed new front pads and rotors. There are lots of different pads around. I just got some OMP roadsport from Maurice, www.thomsonmotors.net for my mk2, Im more than happy with them for the price, $100. Green stuff pads are $175 and not as good IMO. You will need new rotors, get them from IA or euro italian etc, most brake shops should be able to supply them too. The bias valve was worn where the spring is too. It would pay to set it up properly.
The gearbox was in very good order when i had it. Maybe one of the selectors is bent or damaged, maybe one of the engine/trans mounts are broken.
Who did the turbo for you? Im supprised the manifold was no good. The guy I bought it off said it had a new one fitted by the original owner, I guess that was well over 100K ago tough.
