For sale in NL, nothing to do with me. Seller "van Oeteren" = Sweedspeed Racing. https://link.marktplaats.nl/m1598636937




I've sent them a message to find out more about the 5-speed gearbox conversion.

I actually don't mind the chop; usually I hate such modifications with a vengeance but that is mild and makes the V4 just look more like a 2 stroke.

I'm not a fan of it, perhaps because I don't like the shape of the two stroke models (nor do I like their stinky engines!).

Haven't heard back from the seller unfortunately.

I don't hate the roof chop either and usually not a fan.

I am a fan of the gearbox - I have thought about one day trying to fit one of these. It looks more comfortable in there than I imagined it would although I am guessing it protrudes into the cabin - possibly visible in one of the photos?

While we are looking at Dutch stuff https://www.drenth-gearboxes.com/products/dgt250-5-speed-gearbox/

With its straight cut gears that's not something you want to use on the road I suppose!

Gareth, do you know what type of Audi gearbox is in the grey 96? Nothing else visible than the pic I posted above, the photos aren't great anyway. I have no issues with standard V4 boxes, but I sure do like a technical challenge!

The chop might have ben planned around the use of the earlier shorter/smaller front screen. They aren't common but perhaps a better idea economically than having a custom one made. Whatever the Audi box is I'm sure that the 5th speed would be welcome.

It certainly is, like fine wine and Michelin star dining, something for connoisseurs – that's not me I'm afraid Roger.

Not that I'm interested, but does it say how much they want for it?

Overhauled gearbox now for sale separately for €650: https://www.marktplaats.nl/m1991775620 May be worth asking if they plan to come to the International in August? I won't have space in my car next time I'm going to NL, should anyone be asking.

I love the smell of Castrol ‘R’ in the morning.
