where did you source your components from? Im in need of everything except the box itself!

Cheers, Bart.

I managed to get a complete engine, gearbox, prop shaft, diff, loom, pedal etc etc off trademe.

There's one guy selling a manual box on there at the moment, but its missing some parts. Either loom or cables.

I might actually be interested in the manual high viz dash!

[bradc]

it is under the subaru section!

[scott.mohekey]

Yep, but the description sounds pretty accurate, so I'd say its just the category is wrong. A lot of muppets out there!

sorry guys can i just ask, are you using the gear box from a manual VR4 or from a v6?

thanks

[scott.mohekey]

Mine is from a manual vr4.

Alan - this answer is probably UK specific (99.9% of V6's in the UK are FWD not 4WD) but:

A V6 box will not have the fiment for the transfer box. Your car will not be 4WD any more, but still carrying around all the weight. Ther'd need to be further modification to the rear diff/prop and your VR4 clutch won't fit the V6 box, you have to hybridise the clutch between VR4 and V6.

I realise that in NZ the ST-R box will most likely fit the VR4, so could be good to buy, but I honestly don't know the answer.
