The T5 box is a lot bigger and a lot more weight but can handle big power outputs

Well that's us told! I see Johns car's back for sale... looks a cracker!
PS - Amy's old (new!) car is safe. I promised I'd not pull another perfectly good car apart only to sell it in bits and I'm
sticking to my word... that's why I've gone and bought a Quantum Extreme the other day! It's got a Pinto in it, so I don't
feel bad about pulling it out and sticking something modern in it! Yes - that's where the Audi V8 is going! And, Yes - I will be pestering
you, Amy, Sid, etc. for help!

How can you say that... I weighed 110kg at the time! That's 30 more than you... like having a baby elephant on the back of my Kart! Now
I'm a svelte 85kg, we'll have to do it all again and see what happens!
Anyway, look at the way I ATTACKED those corners that day... poetry in motion!

Could this be my quickest sale yet... the car hasn't even arrived!
Come and have a look on Monday / Tuesday Robert, I'm told it's a good 'un (refreshed 1k miles ago) and due to me knowing diddly
squat about Pinto's, then I'm sure you (or anyone else) will be able to get it off me for peanuts!
PS - When are we going Karting again!

Impossible... there's a certain part of my anatomy that weighs more than that all by itself and I couldn't cut THAT off!

I don't really need another engine (I've got 2 complete & 2 dead pinto's as it is), but I'll give you a few £ for it if no
one else wants it
I may know of a home for a half decent one - do you think the postage will be expencive ?

I'm not seeing a time on that sheet for Mr Widz... I recall him going backwards at one point. DNF?
Maybe he's still on track?
PS - Yes, sorry folks, the thread has taken a bit of a twist (Thread Title amended to reflect). I'm still listening to gearbox advise... and
fending off Mr Widz's spurious allegations regarding my crap karting ability!

karting is £60 a driver at the moment - next time I hear of any deals going I'll let folk know (prpbably when the weather isn't so good 
)
I can't rember what happened to him - sometimes the timing gear messes it up.
his best time was on the first heat (2nd best of the day I think)
my best was +0.13" (about 4th I think)
but yours was +2'33"

I'll have a look if you want (give me a ring when you get it) - might not be able to say much without taking it apart though
anyway I'm going to sign off now, I've got to get this drawing finished for Sid, and this is far to distracting

Based on your original question, on the other thread, an MT75 (later ford) box can be mated to the Audi 1,8T 20V lump.
I am not 100% certain on what is involved, but a firm (again from the netherlands) called ALphax do the bits.
I have the adaptor plate, but nothing else

Not opened the link, but is the dutch adaptor a bellhousing or just an adaptor plate?
If its just a plate that bolts to the engine, and the bellhousing on the type 9 then surely its just an adaptor from audi to ford bellhousing
patterns?
If so surely a cossie T5 should fit as it has a ford bellhousing pattern.......

TBH I'm not overly sure, but ALPHAX is a member on this forum.
I know a version of the MT75 was also fitted to the 4x4 Sierra variants, including the Cosworths.
Not sure if the only difference was the transfer box, or if they also had uprated internals.
A quick google of "MT75 strength" brought this up about the T5 (borg warner)

Hope that helps
