just the standed b16a2 gearbox but soon i will want a ek9 lsd box

 

[689R]

why spend 400/500 quid on a ek9 gearbox when you could spend the same money on a quaife/kaaz/cusco diff etc

 

[mr roboto]

well if you think bout it im going to end up selling a working gearbox for a ek9 box so i aint really paying more because after buying the ek9 box for say like £400 and i sell mine for £150 ive only really payed like £250 for the ek9 box as if i got a new diff to put in my gearbox to make it a lsd box i would of payed the £400 for the diff and had nothing to sell to get a lil bit of money back make sence ? i havnt got a load of coin compaired to every1 else who does a big build

 

[689R]

1. A standard S4C box is not worht 150 quid lol.
2. You would buy a gearbox with one of those diffs already in it for around 500, so then sell your S4C on anyway.

its not always about having lots of dollar. I dont, its more about smart purchases

i was only saying £150 as a rough guide and i was going to buy one already with a LSD just to cut time out anyway im a tight twat wen it comes down to it so i always look for best deals

i actually got it off a e bay site from a company in the usa i only payed £160 for the whole lot
