Default Escos on RL7s pictures???? Gearbox???

Howdy all

My mate is wanting to change his rim on the Escos. Currently got the Rondells and i suggested RL7s. Any people out there that can post pics?

Also he is wanting to get a better gearbox as he keeps breaking them. If i remember correctly his car is running about 375+bhp. He wanted a R&D but if i recall alot of people say for using it everyday is a NO NO!!! He would prefer a 6speed but as i am clueless about boxes can anyone help???

Cheers!!!

Nice one bud. He said he found a second hand Bara Box with Fixit gears online somewhere. But it doesn't state if its 6speed and like i said before i don't have a clue about gearboxes.

Mainly wants a 6speed as he does alot of motorway driving so he would like to just have it in 6th gear and enjoy the ride.

But will defo get him to give Mike Rainbird a call and get the best advice.
