v5 type r gearbox / engine options HELP PLEASE
 

Hi people need help on options for my v5 type r in terms of which engine and which gearbox, dont have loads of money spare but want to do a good sound job so need to no my options and prices.

The box .. im not looking at a 6 speed as i aint got 2k so if there is a strong 5 speed id like to no also should i go with a close ratio box as this i belive is standard on the car from new, also the car has dccd.

The engine .. redtop yes as its a sti also what years are good and strong not really intrested in a 2.1 as think it will be exspensive option but unsure

allllll advise welcome :thumb:

hardy has a v5 type r box and diff for sale at the moment for a good price.

the newage 2.0l sti engine is the one to have mate,i know it will be fairly expensive but its a strong unit and capable of 400bhp on standard internals.

I've spoken to him yesterday think it maybe sold but have messaged him again just to be 100% sure .. :(

Do u no what year newages are in that category or just all of them ?? .. I no uve recently got a type r as I've seen ur threads .. What have u gone for ..

Cheers

I have a dccd gear box £1250

they are about from time to time,i know mervil also sold one not so long ago.
people are often upgrading to a six speed but just be carefull that they are not upgrading because of a slight problem/half worn box that needs a rebuild.!
hopefully you might be lucky on hardys one?
just hope it dosent sell!:D

im running a completely refreshed jdm sti 8 bottom end and fully overhauled v4 type r heads.
yes its expensive but is a good solid reliable engine,im still only running 1 bar of boost at the moment as everything is brand new.
im also on oe dccd gearbox(752).
i love the close ratio box even at a measly 1.1 bar.:D

My phone plaing up,so cant get any tetxs or calls,supposed to be sorted in the next 24hrs,bloody vodaphone.

But ye sorry the dccd box and diff is sold and paid for at £550.

:( ... Well if any come up can u give us a shout please pete ...

Also them seats ur mate has are they the same as the 1s I've posted pics of in the wanted section ??
Cash ready :)

just wondering what engine / gearbox setups other people have in there type r's ???
