What did you do to your Octavia today?

[Spinifex]

So i got my car back over the weekend, Holy Sh** what a transformation.

Are these the brass or similar bushings that go in the black square-ish cable ends on the part that moves (VW Shifter Bushing Set - Mk7 6S MY15+ - 42 Draft Designs), or the bushings that are nearer the firewall that hold the cable mounts (VW Shifter Bracket Bushings - 42 Draft Designs) ? Are they from 42DD or someone else?

The first set. I got the CTS Turbo kit.
Shifter endlink bushing set - MK5/MK6/MK7/8P/8V (2008+)

Thanks. And there's no additional vibration through the gear stick so far?

How do you go with that much power through a FWD car and not get axle tramp?

Think I saw Fizz say he got a lower mount / dogbone insert a few pages back.

What I'd like to know how much of that axle tramp is still there when the mods are finished !

The dogbone insert will reduce axle tramp but it by no means stops it. I've got a Stage 1 tune with dogbone insert and I can still easily axle tramp in 1st gear if I plant the right foot.

That's no good ... which insert did you go for ?

I used the superpro but used the duro 70 instead of the duro 80 to reduce noise and vibration inside. And yes I know the 70 is only recommended for TDI but I just didn't want too much noise and vibration.

For me the biggest mod for axle tramp reduction was a change in tyres.

This includes mods to dogbone insert, lower control arm replacment, tyres and springs.
