Yeah I'd be interested in hearing how the box conversion was done although I don't think I'm brave enough to have this done for mine lol :)


Fairplay - nice upgrades... I keep thinking about a sock for the PAS reservoir!! :D

the bellhousing is a custom one dude
getrag make there on gearbox housings and gear kits for most cars so they can make whatever you need to fit the car

dean i allready got a s15 l-jetro lined up if i want it for 400 delivered but i would rather hold out for the d-jetro or bite the bullet and get a awsome ecu (link g4 ;) )
if i find a d-jetro ill let you lot know who he is and where (allough hes foring so im not very trusting)

polo is a legend ive annoyed himf for like 4 years now.
he allways did me cheap laybour when i couldnt do somthing like fit a cage or rebuild a engine for me
which is why as soon as he told me he was finally starting up his own garage i gave him the car, so he can earn money while he's getting his allready very good name out there a bit more
i would recomend him to anybody thats looking for work as ive tryed most companys in the south
let me put it this way he's building the apex performance 700bhp s14a with a 25k tommei engine in it ;)
and looks after all the uk team falken cars



yeah dmax but fitment isnt perfect so might be up for a trade

i've heard polo is a legend too, i've already asked him about an rb box concersion, but being as ocd as i am i want it to be a spot on oem type fit solution with the shifter in the right place etc....he said its do-able but i need to get a few other things out of the way first....

If you have 255's they will surely have a massive strech?. I've got 255's on my 9.5j's and they are still streched a bit.

Just out of curiosity how much do you guys in the UK have to pay for a LINK G4? ( Atom, storm, xtreme )
