Hello people Simple question rearly would u pay (and how much) 2 have a relible gearbox?

Some of u may have seen that i put a post on the gearbox thread about a possible gearbox conversion!

If not this how it goes! Basicly im so fed up with having to pull my gearbox out 2 rebuild it every 6-12 months that ive finaly decided after 4 1/2 rebuilds 2 do somthing about it!

So ive emailed a guy called martin halland who owns and runs a company called reyland! now some of u im sure will allready know who he is but for those of u who dont! reyland is most know for tunning and custom work on cosworths but he also does a who rang of other cars! Now those of u who have seen is escort or any of the cars he has worked on will know that his work is a good as i comes!!

A few thing reyland has done include a conversion 2 fit skyline gearboxes into cosworth, rover 20vt (vw) conversions using rover gearboxes! and i think now he is moving into lotus ellises with 20v in them ! so u could say making gearboxs that dont bellong some were fit is his specitaly!

So ur proberly getting bored by now but all i need is a show of intrest by people in this type of conversion so that he will see it worth wild to look at our problem!

Cheers lads!!

Definately. I'd be happy to pay even up to Â£1000 to get a good strong gearbox.

Would it be modelled on the original box (i.e. same gear ratios?)

edit: You should post this on Club Polo too

Still on my first but Id be willing to buy an uprated one.

most likly it wont be like the same box most proberly make a kit 2 let u fit a box out of another vw, like a golf box?
But then martin may deacide a non vw box might be the way 2 go!
However it wont involve uprating the original box as these just have 2 many probems. and a box out of another car with a conversion kit will hopfully work out cheeper than lots of fancy work 2 the gti box 2 make it stronger!
Any way martin knows whats best and how 2 do these things so if he excepts i will be leaving it in his very capible hands.

O if ur intrested
www.reyland.co.uk
Its quite a basic site but when ur there be sure 2 check out his latest escort cosworth build !
