OOooo might be interested in that gearbox...

Mines on the way out, and its kinda what I am after.

Could you U2U me a price if you would be willing to split?

Cheers,
David

I'm sorry David, I really don't want to split it up.

I see it more or less as a turn-key system that will bolt straight into a car and transform it to supercar performance with the minimum of work. The gearbox is correct in terms of strength for the engine so they really should stay together.

Sorry

A little off topic .............but what did you think of SRD . Im thinking of taking my MK R1 down there in the spring.

I have nothing but the highest praise for them. Mark is a top man and he spent a lot of time setting up my engine and is now the best it has ever been.

He is a clever engineer and has some very good ideas on cylinder head modifications. SRD specialise in building Pintos for oval racers. Mark himself is no mean pedaller and has campaigned to devastating effect a rear wheel drive Fiesta in Southwest speed events.

So, in conclusion, for me, SRD were a great find and I would certainly go back there to get an engine built or to have one set up on their rolling road.

I hope you have the same experience with them.

Thanks Matey
I will pop down in the spring when the Indy is back on the road.
I have a Dynojet kit that needs fitting.
