Busta - The motorsport engineers I've spoken to today fit the boxes in a number of different cars and according to their CAD, it can be done with just a small shifter move and a modified gearstick, as mentioned... No bubble burst... A £500 ECU won't resolve an iron blocked engine weighing nearly twice as much as an all alloy M series... Oh and apparently 6" is plenty....:laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

6" mini prop? that'll be interesting :laugh: You might as well have the t-box attached as in a vitara. The amount mine squirms about on the standard engine mounts that would never work properly :unsure:

The prop was mentioned and dismissed as an easily resolved issue.... Viscous couplings are made in house...

Viscous coupling? what is the idea there then? The standard mini-prop is a solid thing with UJs, no slip joint or anything other than a simple prop (mine is an SJ one to allow for RW t-box, but essentially the same thing as a normal Jimny)
