I don't know if it's the difference of transmission codes, or linkage, or what, but I have always noticed that the throw on 00+ transmissions seems to be greater than previous years. It could all be in my head.

Can't wait for the pics.

I definitely do, but those are tied for #1 on my list. Also gonna keep an eye out for a tuned ECU, or just buy a tune for mine. I've got a K&N cone filter in muh closet that might become part of a DIY intake, and I'm gonna bug Yu about his race springs. As I understand it, springs differ from Quattro to FWD, but not from Avant to sedan, is this true?

i just checked and the part numbers are slightly different. idk what the differences are but i don't think the mounting should be different. spring rate is probably different for the rear end but i don't think by much since the race springs can be used on 1.8 or 2.8 engined cars.
