Tremec forget the 3 speed. If you are worried about smashing it, go with a TKO not a T5.

If Track days are your thing Chadd.. consider a Richmond 6speed..

Is aboud the same as a GV.. without the added electickery.

If not I'll get a 4sp toploader. I'm trying to stay away from trans tunnel mods

They also do a synchronized one with helical-cut gears too Shaun

cant cage forgot to take more pics I was too excited. Frank's sorting the wheel alignment, and then all I have to do if nassi :poke: doesn't get a chance is calibrate the speedo. Then its time to start saving the pennies for the next stage :impatient:

Hey Chadd,
I like the finish on your steering wheel... what is it.. not Grant..

Are the rotors not on the wrong side ?

Hi Birchy, yes it's a grant wheel mate.

As for the rotors I don't think so but I didn't install them, I left that to Graeme (nassi) and Frank, so I doubt it.

Cheers cage, wheels are ShowWheels Streeter 17x7 with a 4.25 backspace and 215/50 tyres. I can't remember the cost I've had them for a while now, though in the process of getting one more for a spare, so will get an email with a cost in a day or 2
