Default 6 speed gearbox on V4 type r

Hi guys

I have been saving up for a 6 speed so i just wanted to know what is needed to do a full conversion on my V4 Type R.

I know that i will need the box and matching rear diff, propshaft, rear drive shafts that all i know.

What about the front driveshafts? Can i use my driveshafts?
Hubs? Can i use the existing ones?

I confused and need help please.

Thanks
Shaks

minimum youll need is uk 6 speed gearbox, linkage, prop and an r180 3.54 diff .

This will let you use your own hubs and shafts.

it depends what your after buddy me personally i wouldn't bother fro a road car unless it is a track focused car, the price above is delivered aswell which is £65 on a pallet so if your would like to collect it will be £1630 ;-), we do have a 2005 version 9 type uk dccd gear box/set-up the same as mentioned above to fit your type r £2200
