EFA Posted January 13, 2002 Share Posted January 13, 2002 I'm thinking of selling my gearbox. What would you offer me for it?? Of Swiss Turbo spec 9for the 320bhp VX Turbo cars Freddy Kumschick makes, its got uprated 2nd and 5th gear, uprated selector forks and medium strength selector spring and has all of the factory modifications made. If sold its in perfect working order, and can be seen working in car (now there's a way to get a rise in K2 RUM) and if required i'll get it inspected by Phil Stewart, although he only checked it over about 2500 miles ago. To prevent stupid people making bids of £250 and the like, I'm putting a reserve on the deal. You'll have to bid to see if you can beat it!

EFA Posted January 13, 2002 Author Share Posted January 13, 2002 Gary, One can only make an offer against an asking price. One can however make a bid at an auction, which is what this is. Or should I put it on E-bay??? Steve - I'm going back to a 4 speed dog box. The six speed isn't going to be strong enough for my new engine......

I reply to every thread Posted January 14, 2002 Share Posted January 14, 2002 Arnie - going back to your original posting ......... K2RUM is fast and all that but it doesn't give me "a rise".

I reply to every thread Posted January 14, 2002 Share Posted January 14, 2002 I heard a rumour that Lotus were auctioning off a load of old stuff today - A few interesting engines there I'll bet. Been up to Hethel today Arnie? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EFA Posted January 14, 2002 Author Share Posted January 14, 2002 No, planned installation is to allow me to beat the FTD I set in may at the following club sprint at Curborough. Kimberley and Kenrick will be nowhere...... Oh and initial calculations indicate it will be a R763 Fat Arn The NOW PROVEN R500 Eaterid=red> See the Lotus Seven Club 4 Counties Area Website hereid=green> Edited by - Fat Arnie on 14 Jan 2002 15:28:13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EFA Posted January 14, 2002 Author Share Posted January 14, 2002 Right. Time for some clarification. Caterham want £2250 plus your old gearbox for a 6 speeder. I am looking for offers in excess of £1600. This box is like new, not worn and had a thorough checkover quite recently. Anyone who believes they can get a 6 speed box for 5 speed money is only kidding themselves. How many of these are on the market??? Just this one. So if you would like to save in excess of £500 heres where you can.

Flying kiwi Posted January 14, 2002 Share Posted January 14, 2002 Arnie, I don`t need a six speed box, however if you can somehow get the real Kylie in K2RUM, and i can sit next to her. Not only will i give you £2250 for the box, I`m certain that i would rise for Kylie. Kiwi. [Good luck with the sale] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
