Re: 1.8 zetec Bonus Dirtbox Sleeper - New gearbox & Bits 20/2
New gearbox is all fitted, ib5 with lsd, handling and power delivery is much improved! Also discovered osf balljoint has a perished rubber already so going to try and blag a replacement. Also fitted one other mod, quite possibly the best mod you can do to a car, I wonder if anyone can spot it
