   as db said they wont fit, you have to use either you can use any 'sports' model shafts, so thats vtr/vts/gti/rallye or xsi
   
   only difference beiing due to the smaller diff in the gearbox on lower models the part of the shaft that goes into the gearbox is long so it wont fit into the 'sports' boxs properly
   
   *edit* shame your so far away i have actually got a spare used driveshaft here that came off my s2 rallye so will fit your car
