Cheers ppl......gearbox was originally going to the be original one attached using an adaptor plate but that was going to limit power to around 300bhp/ equivalent torque - which I dont want especially as the engine is specced to around 450bhp with the correct turbo. So I'm going to whack in a Cosworth T5 box and get a custom prop made up hopefully.

Chop...the black one mate behind the engine! LOL!

So did I mate....until I saw this & ideas started going round my head!

The blue one is still getting broken though to get the money together to do what I need to to convert the Quadra.

Clio's already far from standard as well - just bought throttle bodies, gripper diff, set of compomotives - and got to get standalone management & a paddle clutch for it! LOL!

Andy_R - I'm not listening to them mate....I think thats the problem!

Pon - never mate....never!!!

Stu21T - yeh - defo finish this one - I dont think its actually alot of work tbh!
