the last time i reckoned that the 1400 needed the f13 box, everybody told me i was wrong, and as i've never owned a factory 1400, i stopped saying it.

im not with you there mowgli...?!?! what d'you mean!?
i was always led to believe that the 1400 needed the f13 box.
everyone on this site kept telling me i was wrong. it appears that i wasn't wrong. incorrect knowledge is a right pain. people end up in your position, with the wrong box in their.
at least the gearbox swap is a doddle. if your old box is an sr one, then it will have a 4.18 diff. with a little help from haynes & a puller set, you could stick the diff into the f13 box to make a really low ratio box for better acceleration. top end suffers a bit though.
i want to keep it as top-endy as poss, it'll be quick enough of the mark with the 40s etc anyway, and my mate (f***ing stupidly) thinks my SR will give his 07 plate (rotary) RX8 Kuro a run for its money... i think not, dumbass ****el...! ill keep the F10 box and trans though, for possible later mods, i need to swot up on gearboxes, final drives etc i think... got both the nova haynes's and quite a bit of savvy so ill be alright!!
i cant belive thats been picked out as a swear word!!
But it would say vvankel if it didnt.
this is true, i thought it'd have to be alot more obvious to be picked out, and its not like its not the proper name for the engine...
well, you can't use the common word for a funeral car either....try it...Quote:

F13 it is then... and bump starting for a muck about down my road... my neighbours must have missed the noise..!
