    Club VR-4 Widow's other halves meet!

    Okay, so that we blokes don't hijack the Widow thread too much, let's have our own thread. We can burn our bras too, you know!

    So, Weekend of Saturday 24th and Sunday 25th November, Nick Mann is being displaced from Mann Mannor and needs to seek refuge from incessant conversations about knitting, nail polish and hair straighteners..

    So far, suggestions have been Steve's place or Richy's place, for a weekend of car fiddling and ringing up various financial institutions to report our other half's credit/debit cards as being stolen!

    So - Who's up for doing something, where and what?

    I'll provisionally put in interested parties here, and we can sort the rest once we know who's coming.

    Interested Parties:

    1. Nick Mann
    2. Richy Rich
    3. Kieran
    4. WildCards
    5. Tig202
    6. Adam (Richy Rich Junior)
    7. Axeboy (provisionally)

    (Thanks for not hijacking our thread though)

    Nick - converting to a manual is a hard job, installing the pedals and running the shifter cables through the firewall is suitable for microscopic people only.

    brad the cables must take the same route as the auto or am i wrong.

    yes i now it is 2 not 1 but i would have thought the hole in the fire wall will be big enough to have 2 cables and in that case attach the new to the old and pull though.

    or even a put 2 pull cords though when taking out the old 1.

    We work to live, and to live is to drive a VR-4, around corners at speed. But it costs see here

    I found the difficult part was needing to pull apart most of the dash to actually get to the cables and to pull them out and to undo the little metal cover that sits on the firewall.
