[sim69er]

when would we need to pay?

[lyndon]

1.Steve_VTS
2.Lyndon

[stevenet15]

are these the same as the alloy group N ball jointed with locking pin ones?

[jpsaxo]

How much are they normally?

[Ax_beefy]

1.Steve_VTS
2.Lyndon
3.AX_beefy

Citroen want circa £20 for standard ones

Whats the difference in them? there just stronger better build or are they the rose jointed ones that require drilling etc?

If they're simply uprated I'm deffinately in

[stu-n-shell]

i ordered a set off them from ebay still waiting for them ordered them at the begging of the week got a quick shift have to wait till i get them till it gets fitted well pissed off

[Steve]

citroen are £13 for short one
£15 for the long one works out alot more expensive, they are the stainless ones iirc not rose jointed usually £50 posted.

Pay when ever i e-mail him with teh completed list :y:

[Richie2104VTR]

They are around £45 normally iirc.

Count me in....

1.Steve_VTS

3.AX_beefy

[jpsaxo]

I'm interested,

Can we get an even bigger discount with 10 people say?

Is the £33 price delivered?

[Predator_R32]

yeah if we can get a bigger discountthe more people we get im definately in :y:

[Mark51]

^^ same as me.

[Ax_beefy]

To be honest £33 is a decent price, doubt you'd get much discount over that.... if they retail at £50 then thats around 17% off

[Predator_R32]

it certainly is but there is no harm in trying ;)

[Mark51]

are the differences noticable?

[Ax_beefy]

I presume that you will feel a slightly smoother more solid change, couple that with a quick shift and should have a decent "new car" feel to the gear system

[carlos45]

are the differences noticable?

ive got them on mine mate, a LOT better! and ya can tell :y:

[Mark51]

^^ whats the difference mate?

[jpsaxo]

so thats 7 if we can get a better deal

got to be worth asking them if he'll do it for £30 del if we get 10
economies of scale and all that ;)

[ryhornvtr]

Have you got a link to these rods steve?

The rods http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=350011575420&ssPageName=MERC_VIC_RSCC_Pr4_PcY_BIN_Stores_IT&refitem=220163200913&itemcount=4&refwidgetloc=closed_view_item&usedrule1=StoreCatToStoreCat&usedrule2=CrossSell_LogicX&refwidgettype=cross_promot_widget seem to be popular on ssc so just wondering what the difference is between the two sets.

[ryhornvtr]

Just found them on ebay. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Peugeot-106-GTi-XSi-and-XS-gear-linkage-rods-x3_W0QQitemZ260215317728QQihZ016QQcategoryZ10406QQ cmdZViewItemQQ_trksidZp1742.m153.l1262

Look really similar to the ones i posted above.

I WILL 100% HAVE THESE IF THEY'RE ORDERED SOON!
They're the last bit of my saxo to make it driveable and need them by next sunday if poss! lol

[Timlowthian]

Hey i no its been said they are easy to fit but what exacly do i need to do to get to the standard ones? If u can tell me so i can go have a dummy run now and i dont find it to hard ill be in and be ur 20th for the £1 off lol!

[Predator_R32]

just jack up the fron on some axle stands and then locate the linkages, spray a bit of WD40 on them to loosen them, thenjust pull them off and replace with these ones :y:

[Ax_beefy]

Theres 3 links, a bit of screwdriver leverage will be needed as some are a bit stiff but its just a case of popping the new ones on with a bit of fresh grease

[Doyle]

so ive put my name down now who do i pay?

[DavidKent]

You've said how to take the old ones off..
How the fuck do i fit them in the right way - I don't have any at all atm...
Or are they the same both ends? lol
Definately need these like.. yesterday though :D

[Ryan]

the balls the linkages attach to should be the same irc.

[DavidKent]

Nice one..
So any ideas on a rough time scale?
Else i'm gonna just have to go and buy some.. I don't have any right now lol..

[adamsax]

I'm in for sure.......

Calm down everyone, the guys trying to sort this out as a favour, he's not getting anything back for the time he's putting in so lets just let him take a breath without hassling him. And to be honest if you need them soon then thats not his fault

[Steve]

no rubber at all steve, just metal

hardcore all the way..... should be better or worse with metal :panic: just wanted some as cheaper then standard lmao

[Mark51]

they are 100% correct fit, dont know what i was thinking.

steve, they will be a better fit as they are metal to metal but with abit of grase inbetween

[sim69er]

will i be able to pay on monday??

[Ryan]

on the close up one you can see that both have two holes

*awaits ryan's comments on how to fit these,lol*

lol why me???

payment also will be sent when im sure ive removed the torjan from my pc!

[RedB]

Payment sent tommorooooow ;)

What is the difference like lads?
Fitted yet? :)

[sim69er]

hopefully someone will have done a guide before i fit mine ;)

[Ax_beefy]

They look fine to me. Same as the griffith ones. They are a tighter fit you see. the plastic / rubber inserts in the oe ones flex so its a bit wooly. These may need to be greased once or twice a year to keep it fresh

[DavidKent]

Can't wait to get these tbh - Last bit before i can drive my car, even if its only around the workshop! lol

[Mark51]

Will notice a slight difference in the changes dude but you should definately look into a short shift aswell for the best 'feel'

Kam Racing and Griffiths do the products you are looking for for under a ton delivered...I'll be getting the same soon aswell because the S express will need some attention before being pushed around Rockingham @ FCS :P

Been waiting almost a week now :n:

Paul said they should be here by tommorow or i'll call up after lunch and have a natter then post up the info for you all :)

[ooodanooo]

cheers for updates redbullet! just orderd some new droplinks aswel lol! want something to fit at the weekend ha :D

[AdamH]

yeah previous owner said its shorter but standard so im guessing its been cut down

[RedB]

cheers for updates redbullet! just orderd some new droplinks aswel lol! want something to fit at the weekend ha :D

No worries...probably more tommorow man if nothing's here in the morning ;)

yeah previous owner said its shorter but standard so im guessing its been cut down

Any receipts/Info in the logbook etc?

Just curious whats actually been done to make it feel shorter :)

These X-sport items should be very good for the overall 'feel' but i still wont be happy until my lower brace is on (progress thread) coupled with a few more tweaks and changes to the transmission :homme:

[Doyle]

any update on when we are receiving these?

[jaybiss]

yeah previous owner said its shorter but standard so im guessing its been cut down

probly a griffiths under the car

[Predator_R32]

got mine today cheers for organising this steve :y:

[RedB]

probly a griffiths under the car

Thinking that tbh...or something else has been fitted in place...

[AdamH]

nope its not, think about it.. standard height you have alot of movement, cut it down a bit and its got less throw, so it feels alot shorter.. its not hard to work out :p

[RedB]

nope its not, think about it.. standard height you have alot of movement, cut it down a bit and its got less throw, so it feels alot shorter.. its not hard to work out :p

So he just chopped the shifter down DIY stylee?

Throw isnt reduced as the distance between the gears is still the same using the same mechanism ;)

[RedB]

Just spoken to Paul...i also have his other mobile number now for any urgent issues...

A few people will receive theirs today like Pred has...

For the rest of us and people that paid a bit later on they HAVE been sent out and should be with ya later on today, tommorow or at the latest monday :)

Fingers crossed in a knot for tommorow morning if they dont come today so i can get onto fitting them! :y:
