Spikes i am keeping the 1.7i but i am not keeping it 1.7i. Spoke to a guy that makes flywheels and conversion kits. He said i must use a bmw gearbox with cable shift. The bmw box is shorter than the niva box so refitting the tc in futute wil stil be possible. Old tdi engines also has a steel sump that can be worked with to fit the front diff. The thing is my 1.7i engine is starting to smoke and the gearbox is not fixable(craked housing stuffed bearind housings etc) so i am going for the conversion. I am also going to get a carb niva soon.
