Title: Gearbox suggestions???
Post by: Dom.kelltt on April 25, 2015, 08:30:33 PM: Right, I know people disagree with my theory of putting a Subaru engine in my bis, however, I've been offered one for a small fortune,

So, my question is, what gearbox does everyone think will be best????

Any suggestions?
