This box might be a keeper.. I have a feeling this box has had some big $ spend on it, all the components seem to be quality and not cheap to buy plus I know it came out of Bt1 VK with 308. What's $600 might as well keep it. I can see on ebay 120kw M21 go for 2.5k to 5k. I'll get the box builder to inspect the internals.

vt ss & lc gtr
Wow them g/boxes are worth that now...almost had to give them away to sell them back in the day.

I actually prefer m20 for shorter ratio for street cars & they were even cheaper to buy.

They were piss easy to build after seeing one built when I was an apprentice.Went through 2 or 3 'rebuilt' M20's by so called gearbox expert down here before getting a workmate to build me one that actually survived the triple webbered bushpig 202 in the lc gtr.

The new front spoiler arrived today, the old one was beyond repair.
