Hi All

 

I'm new to this mini scene and am about to start a project but building from the ground up on a front and rear subframe I have got. 

 

I have seen a few for sale that mention they are from an automatic. I presume these differ from the manual so I wondered how I can identify this. Don't want to build up the suspension etc on it only to find it just not find a manual engine.

 

Thanks in advance

 

Regards

Matt

What year is your car? It could possibly be a twin bolt type if it's an early-ish one. This refers to the fixing bolts on top of the towers, the one in your link is a single bolt.
