sry_not4sale Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 All gone! lol Much to Freds disgust hehe Combination of things led me to drop it, mainly the fact that it was an interim solution - the car was always going to be a rotary again.

Got any sweet RWD FE3 parts to flick off? Real keen on spare RWD gearboxses, as im unsure on the condition of mine. When Fred came around the other day he said you live just accross the vally from me? I'm in Miramar. Real keen on advice on the Gbox i have and if the cluch in it is working correctly, cant work out whats going on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sry_not4sale Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 I can sell ya a FE rwd bellhousing that will bolt to your block? That's about all I have left - most of the FE3 stuff is going to my brother to put in his Cosmo. The bellhousing just means you can use early rx7 gearboxs like the 12at type. Not as strong as the later rx7 boxes tho. Yeah, I'm up in Brooklyn mate! Should catch up sometime! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bombsquad Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 The bellhousing just means you can use early rx7 gearboxs like the 12at type. Not as strong as the later rx7 boxes tho. Use a diesel bongo box and change bell and tail housing. Epic strength for maximum clutch dumping. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sry_not4sale Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 Yeah but shitty ratios. Apparently you can get FE bellhousings that bolt to fc3s boxes from new school utes/vans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bombsquad Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 Nah I dont think the ratios are that far off?? quite a few mates run em in their rotors and are fine. Dont know what theyd be like behind a petrol piston though. An yea I would say the bellhousing from a late 90s 2l Bongo/Econo/Vanette would do the job behind an FC box Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
My name is Russell Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 So iv got a Bongo gearbox that was originally on this engine and dyno'd at 213kw will it bolt up to the bellhousing you have, would mean wouldnt need to worry so much about the cluch as i know that box and 5 pak clutch work sweet together. Oh hold on cancel that, the bongo box has odd colum linkages i remember not thats why i didnt stick with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bombsquad Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 So change the tail housing to a 323/626/929 or and of the rx series in order to do away with column linkages Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bombsquad Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 Also Aaron to add to your list of things you dont like about my cosmo, I cut a big hole in the bonnet for the IDA hahaha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
