| I agree, please use a rubber coupling on the front of the propshaft as a solid one has been tried many times before and has always caused (expensive) problems, but an awsome build anyway. |

hi Mike thanks for the positive comments, i'm using the mk4 golf rear diff not the mk5 one.
the propshaft i have been in and dated about this problem but i have got a 4motion shaft and shortened it so i will be running the rubber i just havent put it on my forum yet lol.
cutting and shortening driveshafts was a bit worrying as i have never considered doing things like this before it turned out quite good though but the proof will be when i get it going lol.
ive got the haldex controller back in one piece now
thanks Joe

Hi Joe, I will e-mail you my address and phone number and we can sort out sending the controller to me...thanks btw did you get my earlier e-mail? Good news that the rear diff is from a mk4, easier to get it working first and develop the mk5 version later maybe! Glad you have decided to fit the rubber front donut that will reduce the chances of having to replace lots of tranny bits...i'm not very keen on solid mounts, i've seen a number of good cars modded with care, yet spoilt by harsh vibrations due to solid mounts...never understood the benefits, poly mounts usually keep things under control without the vibes......bear in mind I am an old git..... (when I was 20 I loved really loud exhausts and hard suspension)...but now I've seen the folly of my ways...lol Long live power and comfort!!!!

i run a solid engine mount on my mk2 20vt to stop the engine movement as i was having problems with the enigine to much in comparisson to my dads mk2 which runs all the original rubbers. youd never know the difference but well see when things are running.
