Wouldnt do it if i was you. Will be full of haters because your doing something different and you can already buy a RWD car.

Why would there be haters? It's quite a common conversion.

Not for a corsa.
Binned idea also. Can't pull myself away from an oldskool v8.
Will be for a Opel Manta A. When a good one comes up for sale. Most that come up are complete rotters!

hahaa, are you mad? i was killing type 9's at a rate of one a week! with only 200bhp!
theres a few people running 300-500bhp through omega boxes.

As i said. After a bit of digging I've decided against the v6 and wil stick with a Rover V8 with an SD1 box.
Type 9 boxes need different bellhousing which makes things more expensive.

So this could be going into a manta a?
Why not just use the x30xe box?
