For sale in NL, nothing to do with me. Seller "van Oeteren" = Sweedspeed Racing. https://link.marktplaats.nl/m1598636937




I've sent them a message to find out more about the 5-speed gearbox conversion.

I love the smell of Castrol ‘R’ in the morning.

Overhauled gearbox now for sale separately for €650: https://www.marktplaats.nl/m1991775620 May be worth asking if they plan to come to the International in August? I won't have space in my car next time I'm going to NL, should anyone be asking.

Not that I'm interested, but does it say how much they want for it?

It certainly is, like fine wine and Michelin star dining, something for connoisseurs – that's not me I'm afraid Roger.

Melle - “ stinky engines “indeed, that’s not stink that’s a form of aromatherapy- especially with a souscon of Castro’s R

The chop might have ben planned around the use of the earlier shorter/smaller front screen. They aren't common but perhaps a better idea economically than having a custom one made. Whatever the Audi box is I'm sure that the 5th speed would be welcome.

With its straight cut gears that's not something you want to use on the road I suppose!

Gareth, do you know what type of Audi gearbox is in the grey 96? Nothing else visible than the pic I posted above, the photos aren't great anyway. I have no issues with standard V4 boxes, but I sure do like a technical challenge!

I don't hate the roof chop either and usually not a fan.

I am a fan of the gearbox - I have thought about one day trying to fit one of these. It looks more comfortable in there than I imagined it would although I am guessing it protrudes into the cabin - possibly visible in one of the photos?

While we are looking at Dutch stuff https://www.drenth-gearboxes.com/products/dgt250-5-speed-gearbox/

Cheers

I'm not a fan of it, perhaps because I don't like the shape of the two stroke models (nor do I like their stinky engines!).

Haven't heard back from the seller unfortunately.

I actually don't mind the chop; usually I hate such modifications with a vengeance but that is mild and makes the V4 just look more like a 2 stroke.

Don’t like the roofline, very interested in the gearbox conversion
