Dave. I happen to be breaking a manual mivec but i'm in england but god knows how much yhat would cost to ship due to its weight. Not wanting to do myself out of a sale but have you thought of going down the road of an aftermarket LSD??
But if you can't get a box in ireland and you dont wanna go down the route of an aftermarket LSD let me know.

Just reread your post. Trying to rack my brain but i'm sure the GPvR has a different box/lsd setup to the rest of the mivec family??

Am not sure whether there different or not i was told the manual boxes were all the same.
What sort of money would it cost for a courier?
Actually what part of england you in mate?
I have a good few friends that are truck drivers and go to england weekly.

My knowledge is a bit rusty being out of the FTO game for 8 years while i drove family cars but i'm almost sure the LSD if different on the vR to the GPX i could be wrong and an ex vR owner i knew back in the day patt torrr had uprated his. Maybe someone else will know for sure?
As reguards courier i'll try find out
As reguards your mates in truck i live in liverpool not far from the docks.

I don't know as of yet, will have to check it out. I'm in tbe middle of a 28 day stint in work with only 2 days off one is this sunday but already planned a day out with the kids the next is a fortnight this saturday. So unfortunatly thats probably the earliest i'll get a chance to check. But if i get any free time at all. Before or after work i have a look.

I have good news for you Dj i jad a spare hour between work and collecting the kids today. Had a look at the red fto and removed air filter etc to get a look at the box and it is a 422 box



Always knew it was a great box from the moment i testdrove it...now i know why
