Another "novice" question I'm afraid... :mad:
Currently have a 318iS fitted with 2.7 and std 325 box being used for track days but finding the gap between 2nd and 3rd is a bit too long on some circuits.
Just about to chanae the clutch so thought this would be an ideal time to swap the box for a sport one with closer ratios.
Would any 325 sport box be a simple box swap or could there be issues with sensors, bellhousing fittings, propshafts, levers etc...
Any advice most welcome, as always :D
White 318iS, 2.7 conversion, LSD, H&R cup kit, ARBs, F&R strut braces, full cage, kevlar buckets, wilwood 4 pot brakes, braided hoses, 6pt harnesses, f/glass bonnet, Toyo 888's, scorpion, polybushed, carbon cards and boot lid.
