David,

I just sees your post count, about 2 months ago I swear you only had 1000 more than me or summint.

Where the **** are you posting?

When the **** do you have the time?

Or are you just a L33T HaXo0R?

Will be fitting sti7 box tonight

just waiting for delivery company..

David

 

Just lifted the box of delivery transit

bolted the mount on..

then decided should get changed.. then decided leave it until after tea..

David

 

LOL.. then decide to wait until tomorrow??

Hold on that's probably what I would do..

Simon

 

 

hmmmmmmmm

Good job they didn't make the six speed just a little bigger!

paul

 

LOL..

Starter motor needed precision engineering with an angle grinder..

Clutch cylinder bolts up fine..

David

 

just about get a *** paper down the side of the transmission tunnel...

Plenty of room then

nice..

Andy

 

Hope those Prodrive mounts are nice and solid.. not much clearance..

Pic of bumper and lights show what an improvement they are over old..

Simon

 

I like the formica wood effect router template for the spacers.

I think I might need some spacers, and about 20mm chopped off the top of the throttle body.

Paul

 

Nice, fancy doing another

 

David

 

David,

Well done in getting the 6 speed in.

Knowing you though you'll get bored and decide on doing your own DIY gearbox. Say a 7 or 8 speed to get you to 200mph.

Damian.

 

6spd is geared for 194mph so no need

See post no. 1 of this thread

David

 

David,

Really good job

It´s a prodrive gearbox mount,
Do the OE mount from the STI not fit????


Thanks,
Skassa

 

dunno, didnt try.. but...

the std MY94 mounting bolts to it.. and that is the MY94 cradle holding it in..

David

 

Okay,

Thanks


SKassa

 

why do we get odbc errors in this thread that disappear with one more post, like this..

 

silly bug, when it cant decide whether to go over the page or not

 

Certifiable mate, absolutely certifiable.

I take it you have zero skin left on knuckles now?

 

Think the odbc errors occur when someone makes a post that starts a new page then deletes it. So the database still thinks there's an extra page when there isn't! As soon as a new post is made the problem is solved That's my guess anyway!

Nice job with the 6-speed, I'd love one for my classic with ratios like the type-RA up to 5th plus a nice cruising 6th similar to the UK car's 5th. Best of both worlds, pity I've got neither the dosh nor the mechanical know-how to do it though

 

Just thinking....The gearbox looks very tight in the tunnel. Will the box lift up enough to allow the engine/mounts to slide into place?? or will the engine have to go in first, followed by the box from below ???
If you have a block assembly ( incl flywheel and clutch ) lying about, it may be worth checking as it will be a lot easier maneuvered than a complete engine.

Will try that though..

Excellent.. was the box damaged when you bought it hence the strip down?

Simon

 

possible problem with it. rattle or something.. so got it checked.. out.. barretts found part of a bearing in it.. which didnt even belong there according to prodrive??

As good as new inside though.

David

 

That was good then..

Do you have or would you have use for a clutch alignment tool?

Simon

 

if you mean have I got one you can borrow.. no.. sorry.
