Also that one you've linked to is a JCE15 (i.e. 2jz), in an ideal world I guess he'd want a GXE15 to get the right sump etc.

Hmm, but what if i wanted a manual?

i could make a sump that has the tube through it, that could easily be sorted, id need the engine bay rear subframe piece to mount the steering rack on (or make one)

but to mount the front box id have to modify the oem subframe, mabye make one in a

_I--I_

shape?


I'll have to get under the car and take some pics.
Most importantly though i need a manual box!

hows it going ?

Getting there, just awaiting payday to buy the rods and pistons then finish measuring everything up and put my orders in for gaskets, bearings etc.

I've been modifying the engine bay to tidy that up, just need to weld in a new panel and that's done. Going to make a panel to cover the brake lines that have now been run lower, Then filling and a respray. Job done.

Right, the tidying of the engine bay is continuing and I'm almost ready to paint it.

One thing I'm doing is tidying up the brake lines. Has anyone any contacts to make me up some braided lines? They need to be about 150cm long, or advice on making my own?

I have a contact... Will pm you in a bit
