Hi Mark,

I've toyed with the idea of the piper exhaust cam for a while, you've just reminded me about it. Might have to go get one now...

I'll take your scrap gearbox away foc if that makes life easier for you?

Your car is a 120bhp K S2, yah? Has a CR box as standard then. If it is standard.

Yah! Buuuut, my box broke last year right before going to the ring so now has a standard S1 PG1 courtesy of the very kind Simon Ironside, fitted by Craig in a hurry lol so I do have a CR box at home that needs a rebuild, rebuild cost seem more than the cost of a used box unless anyone on here fancies a project hahahaha

Broke how?

Rebuild isn't that tough if you can get the bits. I combined the bits of three boxes on a (cleaned) potting bench in a greenhouse, back in the day when they were all over eBay for £50

Makes a nice grindy noise when you twist the input shaft :O

I'm toying with having a crack at opening it up... If or when I fcuk that up you'll be welcome to it lol...

Here we have a buyit now advert for a complete Engine/ gearbox off a Lotus Elise 111, has to be dismantled for parts, as you can see it was smashed into the frontend, no rear impact damage or any dam…

Thanks,

That's not a 111s engine though as wrong inlet and no VVC mech, massively over priced for a std K. I know of a 22k Mile 111s VVC complete set up that I can have for less but I've already bought an MG ZR 160 with 50K miles and full service history... might sell that though and buy the 111s stuff though as the seller will fit it for me too...... Thanks for keeping an eye out for me, much appreciated!
