Brock-Lee Posted July 6, 2008 Share Posted July 6, 2008 Okay, he used an mx5 box with heavy duty gtx clutch and pp. custom inlet and exhaust manifolds, he has a partly finished inlet manifold lying around if you want it. I just asked him how he got around the dizzy etc, still wating on an answer but I will let you know when he gets back to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brock-Lee Posted July 10, 2008 Share Posted July 10, 2008 sr20de and auto would still make it a fairly lively drive. That guy with the bpt said they just left the dizzy as there was heaps of room in the engine bay. But you could adapt the CAS from the rwd mx-5 bp and run coilpacks. But that doesnt matter anymore. sr20de = win Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
