Know you mentioned about the custom flywheel jobbie. Want to make sure i know what you mean.

Basically it's a custom flywheel so say an X16XE could be fitted with say an F20 gearbox? That sort of what you mean or am i totally loosing the plot

Thats it exactly so i can put an f20 on a 1.6. Had to grind a tiny bit off the sump for some reason though as where the shaft goes in was hitting and stopping the box lining up but its all good now
