Good news, I have collected all the parts needed for the 6spd conversion so I will start on Monday.
Gearbox, new clutch and flywheel with bolts, gearbox cross member, propshaft with bolts and flex disc, shifter linkages, pedal box with lines and cylinders.:thumbs:
Now to drop that heavy lump of a tranny!!

Oh man that is great news! Cant wait, and also can't wait for all the pictures

Riding a super bike everyday everywhere is seriously getting old fast.

Yesterday a polo jumped a red robot at a serious speed and almost wiped me out good and proper! and before I went on holiday while my turbo was getting sorted on the way to work, Some dude in a red fiesta also jumped a red robot while I was turning and he missed me by a few cm, I had to stop and take a breather to calm down as it was just way too close!

Can't wait to finally drive a manual car again! :joy: :thumbs:

Sorry for the losses.
Hope you get sorted soon!
Don't take off so quickly from the lights:rollsmile:

raise: This is an example of how a forum should work. Good luck not required, but good luck anyway with the conversion.

All the best with the conversion, hope you sorted soon:thumbs:

We should take it to a big open space and build a bomb and break it properly! :fencelook: Mmmm wander if a gear box place will give me anything for it lol. Surely they can use it as spares...

 

[Rayzor]

Its worth giving it a try :thumbs:

I think blowing it up would be more fun/satisfying after all the sh*t it's given you! :rollsmile: :fencelook:

Were you at the dealer? ("Confused lol")

Remove the propshaft and use an A-frame.
I've brought up many cars that way.
make sure the key is in a position wer the steering won't lock. Put in neutral and hand brake down. You won't even need a driver in the towed vehicle

The problem with an A frame is the vehicle doing the towing would need a tow bar...Andy never had a tow bar :/

Anyway we got the car back in the end using the special bar that Andy bought. :thumbs:
