Oooh, the auto's a very different beast to the manual. unfortunately the diffs are not at all similar on the outside, maybe by some odd coincidence the crown wheels are the same but I heavily doubt it. I know what you mean about the CVT being under-geared though, maybe fit some 20" wheels?

Good grief Stef. I had no idea you were planning such a beast! :shock:

From what I've seen of the vario rear end, they won't be compatible... :(

cheers
