Sounds pretty good!

Excellent stuff, some good mods there..... At the risk of ruining your bank balance further, have you thought about the lightened flywheel at all? :)

Sounds good to me, if you really want to make it come alive you need to buy the 160 box he has for sale and get the gear set fitted at the same time as your diff! Be much more expensive if you change your mind in the future.

If I can get my hands on one then maybe. Do you get big gains from it?

I did get a gearbox with it, not sure if it’s the 180 or 160, I’ll ask Paul. What would be the advantage?

I have got a box from a TF135 in my garage, was going to sell it with the 135 ca, an ECU but if you are interested....

Same ratios as the 160.

I have a TTV lightweight flywheel if your interested... its just sat here...

Im interested Sam, assuming it'll be quicker off the line but will lose some top end speed? What price are you looking for?

I found it to have a much livelier throttle response, it transformed the car.

Only not fitted to mine as the 180 already has one fitted and is off road at the moment pending bodywork and it won't fit the T16.

Currently it has a fairly new clutch bolted to it (less than 2000 miles on it) but I guess you would put a new clutch on yourself as its sensible to do so :)

As for cost. I'd rather it was used than sat here not doing anything... So PM me what you want to pay and I'm sure we can come to an agreement :trampoline:
