I think he meant that with the spacer in there the box is longer so you may need a shorter rear prop. I THINK though that the rear prop slider reduce down in size.
If not then prop shaft services would do it for around Ł100

I will send you it over when I have it.
As far as I know it don't need the rear prop shorten Im sure the gear stick sits further up towards the dash with a alloy longer gear level with the short shifter. Mark will be fitting it so what ever it needs he will have it sorted when fitting the box

Very nice!!!
Whats the difference in the close ratio gearbox?
Also the quickshift leaver? you feel any major differences?
I have the normal ratio oppliger gearbox but with dropchain 3.9 for the rear sierra diff (3.9)... And standard shift-lever..
Cheers

I read someone saying that a 300 bhp car with the close ration box could out run one with 400 bhp as it would always be on the boil.

The car is alot faster through the gears.
The feel of the gear changes is a bolt rifle feel slick, precise & no play does not feel like a cosworth gear change it is what I would say is perfection

Picked up a new filter off Pete at Spec R over the weekend for the oil breather.
Took a trip down to see Mike at Edwards Motorsport this morning to have the exhaust tip extended as it was smoking up the rear bumper when giving it some boost.
How it was like before.
