neop not drivabl at all. the gear box wont catch gears at all. it just keeps slipping.
so i have to have a gearbox in there without a doubt..
1 idea might be to actually get the gearbox off the vxr and put that on to my car and then go and do the engine swap at a later date... if that is possible.. that way im "buying in advanced" and i can get a manual conversion done at the same time.. cos theres no wayy ima have a 240bhp engine with a auto LOL not enough fun for me.. i ripped a 1.4 gearbox and im not planning to do it again.. cos i knoww ima wana drift and slide about any chance i get... OUUUWWW im so exxcited LOL and i havent evn done it.. but im gona b looking around 6months to a year possibly in my current state to get that engine for 6k, unless i get a job. as all im doing is a bit of tradding. hmm
naa you know what 100% ima get the engine done.. dont know if il do it with courtneys tho. if i find the same engine somewere cheap and low mileage and i hear its a direct bolt in with no mount issues.. IM GOING FOR IT..
i found a c20xe for about 2k the other day on ebay heard thats a straight bolt up :\
but i want something a bit cleaner and newer ie in terms of mileage... as the only reason i kept my kalos after doing the gerbox in was its milage. only done around 22,000 miles and weve had it from showroom floor since 2004.
ahh well all food for thought but defo engine swap coming as i fink ive done to many other mods to just let her be and then il hold of the gt500 for abit longer... had insurance quotes of £7,500 anyway LOL!
