Big Ads Posted February 21, 2007 Share Posted February 21, 2007 before 1200 pounds and not got a quote for this yet, I got a quote from sky insurance which is about 200 pounds cheaper then the current 1. Cheaper??? is that because of the extra NBC and year older? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let us know how you get on with the quotes Jay. Mine went from £600 (TT BPU) to £1300 (Single @ 550bhp)! That was with Sky too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gregsupra4 Posted February 22, 2007 Share Posted February 22, 2007 What clutch do you have in there? also very interested to hear on the mods to strengthen the 5 speed as have never heard of any The upgraded parts for the Toyota 5 speed box have been around for a few years now. You are right in the fact that they are not toyota parts and are after market custom built parts. The company in question has been upgrading standard box's and building race units for around 20 years and machine all the parts on site, yes it is not cheap but the end result will take the power that Jay's car is going to be running and still cheaper than he can buy a 6 speed for at the moment. Clutch wise we have used a Blue power enterprise HD unit again a re-made toyota part that has been upgraded using HD springs and composite clutch plate, again not cheap but very effective.
