I love the look of the nine inch, does that run a quaife internal or is it all ford?
yep skyline r32/r33/r34 gtr gearboxes, there awesome boxes imo and can be picked up very cheap.
i know its a conversion but will work out far cheaper in the long run than uprateing a cossie box.

Jimbo knows its just banter bud. Ive every respect for Jimbos car one of the best ive seen in recent years. Hes also going to put it on the line the same as Ade so even greater respect for both cars & owners. Yep!! I had 110bhp at 21 mind you it was in the mid 60's.

That must of been a bargain even back then?

My dad was offered a mk1 lotus cortina when he was 17 for Ł700, but he had to turn it down cause he couldnt get insured on it. Some things never change!
