For all that, Martin hasn't broken his gearbag yet. That thing must be putting out a lot more torque than a 1.4. Driveshafts seem to be a different matter.

Technical More Gearbox Q's (C514 vs C510)
Just to resurect this (mainly as i've discoverd a GP 1.3MJ 90 being broken with a 6 speed box) and have LSD fitting in mind
what was the verdict in the end would the gearbag from a diesel be compatable and fit? (bolt for bolt would be good) i'm sure a turbo cinq has more than enough torque to cope with the taller gearing.

No idea, might look into this if I lose my 6 speed 'box. You'll want to check out the gear ratios & work out what the 5th & 6th gear rpms would be at sane speeds, some diesels have the boxes ratioed to give something like 1900 rpm at 70mph in top gear.
I use to have a GP MJ90 and 70 MPH in 6th was ~2.6K rpm so not much use unless i'm touring germany but it is in the torque curve so may work out as 80mph ~3k rpm (but with that gearing and my wheel size it would give a purely theoretical top speed of ~175 
)
)
aint our tyres only rated to 120? haha
i also don't think my balls are rated to much above 130mph in a cento
120mph that is only T rated if your tyres are anything like mine they will be V rated so good for 149mph
but i agree with ARC anything over 120 in a cinq and the old bronze eye starts to wink - Joined

Yep, I haven't had chance or ££ to look any further into this. Still very interested to see if it will fit easily though
i need to give this some thought, snychro on 3rd is going on my box. it is ~120k and 14 years old mind..
If my brain is working correctly - I have a C510 (although its about 15 years old now) sat in my shed as its mated with the 2.0 TC
Its very different to the C514. Different diff cups - yes. Thats all I know off hand.
If my brain's working incorrectly then its a Lancia 5M box (which would be awesome as theyre stronger than the C510)
