Check that out.

I guessed your tyre size change as you will. Thats the difference between the two boxes.

Seems like a very marginal increase. Are you building the box yourself?

Thanks for the link Lee,
Have you tried the gearbox change to your GL? I have a spare gearbox from 16i code L3
I would do the box mod myself, with a little guidence from the forum. Tyres will be 15" 6.5 all round.

I certainly have and still am trying to complete it.

Personally i have had alot of problems due to lack of research and i am now on my fourth gearbox. But have learnt alot!

I am trying to put build a box with a 4.25 final drive and the gears from a L3 16v box. As the GL's have a nice short final drive and the 16v have nice short gears.

If you have the time have a read through my build thread as its full of the gearbox trials and tribulations.

Hey Fudgey7!

Sorry I haven't spoken in a while, lots going on with work!

The car looks great! Glad to see everything is being taken care of (didn't have the time or money :( )
Do miss the car though, the ek4 is great but there was something about that GL :(
I guess it handles great on the suspension know :)

Thanks for the update, i'll bookmark it and come back again!

Ryan
P.S, I'm from Plymouth :D

Keep up with it buddy :D

Not sure, maybe black hammerite would suit.
