You just need a std rew with a pair of ht12s running sequential...and set of ap racing 6 pots up front and your good to go... my piddly twins have caught and taken on track several big power rx7 singles...its all in the right foot and loose nut behind the steering wheel.

Twins don't fit 🥲🥲🥲
Would be cheaper

Your new turbo out performs the stock twins in every way shape or form. And will last a hell of a lot longer than the twins. I'd say prolonged use of 15psi on the stock twins and they're going to be smoking more than a hasheesh and e cig gathering (generally subaru owners clubs haha)

Made a bit of progress today-----------we have a lightweight  door fitted :)

g-force transmission out in the States make a made to order adaptor plate for the T5 box, however after two weeks playing bat and ball with them and getting nowhere one of the guys at Racing Beat is going to get one arranged from them for me. Looks like it will be around four weeks though before I see it.

Searching around tonight I found some pictures, wow that gear leavers a long way forward, well wrap my knuckles !

www.gforcetransmissions.com Bad Bad Bad company, did I say Bad   :violent1:

Wasted 2 weeks of my time with this company and a guy named Paul   :c002:

After talking on the phone I was told by this guy that it would be three weeks to get this made once ordered. I mailed in and told them we could pay however they wanted us to and to kindly send it across to Racing Beat in Anaheim, no reply. :angryfire:

One of the Racing Beat guys rung them today to pay to be told, they don't take credit cards! Then when asked why not "Paul" then said. We don't make that plate and hung up !!!!

Bruce then rang a company who he knew had dealt with these guys, to be told they stopped dealing with gforcetransmissions  because of their bad attitude, :41:

Posted this just incase someone ever thinks of getting hold of them for a plate or a box.

I did joke that I bet this guy dresses up in his glad rags with his gun to play with his  malisha buddies of a weekend ! :))

Steve has offered kindly to wiz one up for me / Thank gawd he has, thankfully  :bravo_2:.

Steve,  milling machine at the ready  :thank-you:

Power is nothing without control. Weight is enemy of performance, handling and braking.

Just been looking at the clutches ones they do, they're rated in horsepower and alps car weight, so I can see things breaking if your exceeding those limits

Real nice that the Classic Touring Car Racing Club has made a "news" announcement.  (how about that a Rotary being made welcome ;D)

Clive Haynsford confirms that he will be back in 2021 in Thundersaloons !
