thewelsho Posted May 28, 2008 Author Posted May 28, 2008 On your marks, get set..........................GO!http://bbs.scoobynet.com/private-sale-gene...pg-gearbox.html Would that fit mine? Much do you reckon for that?
thewelsho Posted May 28, 2008 Author Posted May 28, 2008 lol there was this one too but they dont hang about for longhttp://bbs.scoobynet.com/private-sale-gene...ht-cut-box.html Yeah, so I see.
jimser Posted May 28, 2008 Posted May 28, 2008 Would that fit mine? Much do you reckon for that? really not sure john,think the 2.5 driveshafts may have changed from the earlier cars? as for price,2.5k or thereabouts
colin_ross Posted May 28, 2008 Posted May 28, 2008 lol there was this one too but they dont hang about for longhttp://bbs.scoobynet.com/private-sale-gene...ht-cut-box.html Yup, spotted that one too. Too quick for me to post though.
thewelsho Posted May 28, 2008 Author Posted May 28, 2008 (edited) really not sure john,think the 2.5 driveshafts may have changed from the earlier cars?as for price,2.5k or thereabouts I just noticed another of his posts where he has broken the full car down. He lists the GB at £1950! That has to be a "bargain". Know any money lenders in Glasgow So, if the box didn't fit, couldn't it be opened up and the bits taken out of his and put in mine? Mind you, that is likely to cost another fair whack! Edited May 28, 2008 by TheWelsho

It may have to be opened up anyway as the diff ration may not be the same as your rear. This is small beer though compared to getting the kit at the right price in the first place.

So, if I managed to acquire soemthing like this, what would I have to do to make it fit?
st3ph3n Posted May 28, 2008 Posted May 28, 2008 A BIIIIIIIIIG tub of vaseline John. That will make anything fit.

colin_ross Posted May 28, 2008 Posted May 28, 2008 So, if I managed to acquire soemthing like this, what would I have to do to make it fit? Depends on the spec of your car vs the spec of his. You may be luckcy and it's a straight swap. Worse case would be you remove the gear set from his box and drop it into yours. Speak to Kenny for a ballpark price and you know your max price. Don't forget to include £50 for oil.

Brown?
st3ph3n Posted May 28, 2008 Posted May 28, 2008 I do apologise John. I do enjoy your threads about buying stuff though. Anyone think the JW spec car will be time attacking in 2 years?
colin_ross Posted May 28, 2008 Posted May 28, 2008 Kenny....? Brown? Thats the one. Or your box builder of choice.
thewelsho Posted May 29, 2008 Author Posted May 29, 2008 (edited) Dalglish. Well, he was an expert with a quiet different box, namely the 18 yard one! Edited May 29, 2008 by TheWelsho
thewelsho Posted May 29, 2008 Author Posted May 29, 2008 I think he shunned away from the box. Came to a decision. The good lady suggested re-financing my current car loan to pay for an uprated gearbox but I don't think that is wise as I took another loan on top of that to sort out the engine. However, now that I have that as an option I am going to drive it like I stole it and if the box goes the box goes, then it will be time to re-finance since I have that option. The longer it lasts the better as I wont have to borrow as much thus keeping the monthly payments down. If the box lasts longer than expected, then I will refinance anyway. I will use the box as a foundation to build a faster better car and hopefully/eventaully have the Time Attack car Stephen was talking about. As for rubbing shoulders with the big boys - not likely to ever happen; probably looking to go to 400bhp and then stop. At least this is the plan for now, and is subject to change at anytime! Thanks for the sound advice... I'm not done yet... I'll be back!
