6 speed box and LSD for early GTO 3R
Discussion
Ford 'box and Quaife diff'.
And yes, the labour charges do dwarf the cost of the components because it's far from being a straightforward transplant.
Glad you've found one already fitted with a six-speeder; the five-speeders are fairy rare...

Yeah it's a cracker too. My only concern is the narrow local roads. You have to constantly mount the pavement to pass the over-sized (and mainly empty) busses and lorries etc. I'm not sure if these cars have enough ground clearance to do this without t
tting the front clam and sills. If anyone out there with one could measure the front and side clearance (with and without splitter in place, and with 2 occupants) it'd be much appreciated as I don't want to keep the guy hanging on.

An m12 isn't a car I'd be trying to mount curbs with ever. You will destroy it and failing that bugger the geo.

I often drive around the back roads of Surrey, and whilst I don't do "X5" levels of off roading, have yet to find a reason to reverse up.
It's no worse than an Elise height wise (sans front splitter) and a darn sight better than some other cars (you can take those 110mm "square" speed humps with a wheel each side at 30mph easily

I know what you mean - same applies to most sporty stuff as those low profile tyres demand respect or the rims are shot in no time.
To clarify, when I say "mount the kerb" I'm talking about virtulay stopping the car and crawling up the kerb to minimise the possibility of causing damage, rather than just steer in at whatever speed I would be driving at.
