how much is that costing then if you dont mind me asking?

so all the box's for the 16 engines come with the cable clutch?
and the F17 is he best one for the mini's conversion.


Im asking too many questions :)

I think it came to about £390-400 with the shipping or plus the shipping can't remember and whatever they'll do me for with tax :) Similar in price to the OBP stuff. The X16 pretty much all do come with cable clutch, only the later engines started using hydraulic clutch from what I know.

Its all about the final drive to see whether its suitable or not, the ideal one is 3.55 and W which stands for Wide ratio which is why its best to hunt for Diesel boxes as they usually have them, Corsa/Astra diesel etc The F13/F15 fit small block for sure and I think F17 does as well but the F16 is for big block. The part number for the box is usually punched in on the side and usually covered in dirt/oil etc but the final drive will be at the end of the number something like W355.

Sounds pretty well price to me, thats with a twin cylender ballence bar brake system isnt it.

so im looking for something like a f13/15/17 W355?
if the boxes are the same on the Z engine im guessing that would be the best place to look for one?
What year did the late X series, or the Z series come in?
