Re: T4 engine swap...
driveshafts are original from V40 T4, but we make them shorter in the point where there are joined(?), cause they're not made from one piece... i hope that U understand what i mind- my technical english is really bad

Re: T4 engine swap...
this was done some 5 years ago by a lad in cornwall but he crashed it.
You can get the t5 lump in but it involves major modding.

last year i was thinking about stay with my 16", or get 17". I didnt find good looking ones, and the last bit of comfort would be gone. Now you come and have 18", who look very good.
great swap!
