My N15 5-door GTi Build...

[danishbear]

So I cleaned up the new replacement gearbox which incidentally is an Almera GTi one.. Before:

So thats a Almera box... This is confusing, I was meant to have one fitted the other day and the garage said it was the wrong one. Seeing this pic, this is exactly what I was sent... So i did have the right one then... mmmmmmmmmm... The garage seemed to think the one I had delivered was a Primera GT or an N16 box.

Nice thread Joe, lots of hard work and great results, an interesting mornings read

[andy s]

good work on the cold air feed

them jubilee clip brackets is what i could do with for holding my cold air feed in place, did you get them with the kit?

 

[edk]

...Pah. No one looked at my thread then :rasp:.

 

[shaggy_master]

Everything's with the Kit mate yeahh.. Thank Ed for finding the whole thing for me lol.
As I said the hosing is plastic but wound with metal, so its very flexy but rigid at the same time somehow lol, very good.
