cheers BMC, and one called tiresize.com gave the following result[frame][/frame]

a tyre calculation thing online says my new wheels are only 0.8% larger than the original ones so i dont sseses its makinsg tshat much difference

thanks guys ill keep my eye out for one! i forgot to say i have 15" miniltes and 175/65 tyres on but they work out as only 5mm larger in diameter than the original wheels so i guess its really irrelevant. Phil i have to say you're spot on, its a joy to drive, all gears are slick and that quicks...

sorry fellas been busy, yes it is indeed the type E ford box (4 speed early version of the type 9) and the axle is out of an RS2000, the speed around 40 reads as 30 but as you increase the speed it is out more, 60 is around 45 and 70 is around 50, so it must be the tpm being wrong, so if i get a dif...

hello there, its been in for a while but iv just dealt with it, but my 1408 tpm speedo is at least 10mph slow now that i have a type E gearbox and a 3.89 diff, i thought a 1408 would have been close to correct? it always read a little over 2/3 mph when i had the original 4.22 diff in, what other spe...

It's only an 1 1/2" lcb exhast the one esm do, so not overly large, would I still need to get a mild cam? I was thinking about it but my dad recons it'll make it a bit crap in lower revs. Panky, that makes a lot of sense thinking about it, I assume it's not use able then unless I make that plat...

http://i781.photobucket.com/albums/yy93 ... kfderl.jpg sorry my phone refused to upload an image directly, and yea I have the right manifold it's a minispares alloy one for hs4/hif44

Hello guys, I've got myself a hif44 and I can't make sense of how to fit it, it's like the throttle body is reversed or something, and I bought the fitting plate (abutment plate?) And that doesn't seem to work with it either! Is it off a weird car? Cheers

thankyou very much as usual Phil, ill pm you about the gear stick

right then! ive managed to nab myself a type E box, bloody few and far between these days it seems. now, few questions, the first motion shaft on the gearbox, im betting it wont fit into the bearing on my crankshaft (marina 1275) so, do i need to get it ground down, or do i replace the bearing insid...

well i mean i usually do 40-50 in my everyday travels but id like to get to that speed faster haha, got a 1300 running at the moment but plan to change cam, carb and head to give a little more, hence id like a stronger box and axle

i dont do tonnes of fast speeds mostly 40-50, i intend to fit a 4 speed box either type E 'rocket' or type 3 if it works with the fitting kit, i know the type e is a tougher box im only asking cos a guy near me has 2 type 3's for sale.

hi all, would i be able to use a type 3 ford gearbox in my car if i got the fitting kit that the type 9 uses? ie will the type 3 fit onto the components of the type 9 fitting kit? cheers

as i thought, my dad was sure that the steady wire (as i have just found out) was an overdrive, thanks

Hi all, anybody tell me what box this is? https://scontent-lhr.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-xtf1/v/t1.0-9/11127648_985044358196192_9075067615659610464_n.jpg?oh=a2c2a1908e8ee87800f7d23de99a34dc&oe=55C60160 https://scontent-lhr.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-xap1/v/t1.0-9/11205003_985044381529523_154612949499610108...

thanks guys, and yes his work looks superb

also what head/camshaft changes should i make?

its his mini racing days of the past coming through, i didnt think it would be a good idea ha. at the moment im in the process of having my floor restored, so once thats done i may save up and opt for a 3.9/3.7 diff and a midget gearbox, im not intending to race it nor do i do many motorway miles, i...

here it is, ignore the dirt haha https://scontent-lhr.xx.fbcdn.net/hphot ... e=55D78C93
