Good man I'll take a look when I get back from work later, will it be going 16v?

Gearknob turned up today, it's tiny smaller than I expected but that's ok. I'll spray it matt black then fit it.

Shame you sold all the engine and everything off the old one, you could have just bought a cheap 1.4xsi or a 1.6 like mine.

It fucking is IT weighs fuck all, I thought it would be loads bigger but it fits in the palm of my hand nicely

One small issue though, it wont fit the threads of the gear stick so I'm going to file the inside of the gear knob until it's just a bit small for it then heat the gear stick up and force it on, along with some sort of glue. Once it's cooled down it won't budge.

Not yet, I see no need with a next to standard engine and this engine won't be getting anymore than the pugsport and forced induction kit. When it gets a 16v I'll get some Group N mounts aswell as pollybushing everything

The gear stick is one piece of metal, heating it up will allow me to push the plastic knob over it then when it cools it will be bonded as the hole in the gear knob is slightly smaller than the gear stick

Sort of, yes. The thread on the gear stick is a funny shape so it will essentially mould that shape in to the plastic gear knob then when it cools it will be solid, I've done it before on my old XSI with another gear knob. It worked a treat.

The quickshift stopped that mate, hardly any travel in the gear changes now and room for more adjustment if I require it. Yes, well XSI but they are basically the same
