Hi all,
as a few people on here know I race stockcars using the tried and tested 1300 Vauxhall lump because I race on a short oval I only use 1st 2nd and reverse and as I'm trying to shave some weight on the car I thought about removing 3rd 4th and 5th, theres a lot of weight in a complete gear cluster and I'm also thinking by lightening the cluster ill also be lightening the load the engine has to turn.
has anyone on here done it before if so is it an easy job ie remove the gears and rebuild or are modifications needed.
any help gladly received
