I think you are over complicating it a bit to be honest.
You need to get the olive joint chopped off, then have a piece of pipe approx 6-7 inches welded on to be used as a sleeve joint onto the centre section.
I can't remember if my but of pipe went over or under the centre pipe, I don't...
I drive mine every other week to work due to car sharing. I loathe the loud yozza exhaust and stiff suspension on the commute. The minute I step on it down a B road though it soon comes back to me why I still have this car.
You'll struggle to find a replacement which will scratch the same itch imo
Go for the stalk option. A lot have had issues with cables on steering wheel and horn buttons due to cables snagging when turning wheel.
The phase 1 stalk is plug and play.
I'm sure you could buy them new at one point from Ktec?
Dunno how much though.
Ye I fitted a phase 1 stalk to mine. Couldn't tell you what boss I have though.
I used resistors for the airbag but have since had it switched off properly using CLIP
I'd go further out and have a bit of a road trip to Welsh coast.
I used to love the drive round the mountains on the way to Aberystwyth
2 hours or so to get there, have a mooch and coffee and have a drive back.
The roads round by us are decent but they aren't decent stretches.
Bridgnorth...
I admit when I did Donny it was much more fun than when I have done Llandow, Bedford or Blyton.
I'd say I enjoyed Llandow more than Bedford, that back straight at Bedford in a clio is certainly dull! 🤣
In a 140i I imagine it'll be over quite quick though
No track is dull.
Plus I find it entertaining watching Mark push some decent machinery around the track because he knows it so well. It catches loads of people out.
Screaming out for a fabia splitter that is Marc 🤣🤣
I smashed my carbon splitter in 3 pieces before and felt exactly the same. I ordered mine from Ktec about 4 years ago though. Didn't realise they had stopped doing them.
Wait until after Xmas and give them a call to see if they can sort...
