Still working on that. Had a lot of thoughts, like using NSX shafts and swapping out the joints somehow, or maybe shafts from a new TL. If the joints aren't swapable, then changing out the hub assemblies...

This gives me a headache, I'll just figure out the turbo setup for now, yeah?

I got that crappy EClutchmaster one coming for now, but I know a machine shop who can modify stock clutches to handle whatever you want. Expensive.

it will be intresting to see if the centre matches up with the box.

what one did you go for?

Muffo · 04-11-08, 10:02 PM

Im going to see how far i can push the stock set up before it blows up then il worry about it because we cant get manuals over here

jago · 04-12-08, 03:42 AM

surely you could have a manual sent over? i would send one if you want, i have 2 spares

The "Stage 2" rated at 390hp. Hope they get it right. If not, I can be VERY influential when it comes to e-bay purchases. They won't want to piss me off.

thats what i ordered. if you have a vernier handy the spline should be 25mm or 63/64ths (well mine should be)

legend89chopped · 04-12-08, 12:44 PM

I've actually got an input shaft for my tranny on hand, and I'll just see if it slides in before I remove my trans.

If i cant find one out of a rover, which there werent very many made here i will have to look at importing 1 so i may just take you up on that offer but i still have a long way to go before i need the manual.

Im thinking of putting the c20at into some sort of go cart after i finish the 2.7 turbo, i recon it would be a cheap fun project

jago · 04-13-08, 04:33 AM

yeah that could be good.

i have a whole manual car sat here, so you could have box/gear linkage/flywheel etc.... not that i'm trying to sell it lol, just that i have all you need.

legend89chopped · 04-14-08, 07:20 PM

Here's what I did this past Sunday.

Removed the old heads...

Installed the new heads...

Oil pan gasket, with the new modified oil pan...

New timing belt, water pump, and seals...

Lots still to do.
