Re: Rev 4 caldina swap q?

All you need to do gearbox wise is to ground the neutral start switch (NSW) pin on the ecu.

Grey Rev 5 Birmingham city

Just seen a stunning grey 2 in the city centre near the jewellery quarter, don't think it was a factory colour and looked in lovely condition, Rev 5 spoiler and I think Border kit.

Anyone here?
