Hello all,
I am a car tuner and our ‘courtesy’ panda is really taking shape, handling is all sorted with Koni/H&R suspension, some poly bushes and 16” rims with Uniroyal Rainsports, I bought the hubs/brakes/discs/pads of the alfa mito/500’s to go for the bigger vented discs but stumbled across driveshaft issues as the diff is far too small for the vented cars driveshafts, custom shafts cost a small fortune so I put the conversion on hold....
However the gearbox just went clang and it’s died, so I’ll fit another box, I’ve read about the 6 speed boxes being gash for ratios and I’ve had turning circle issues with other makes and models, so I’m wondering what boxes will fit and what is needed for the swap?
It’s just a remapped 2004 1.1 just now but will be getting a fully forged rebuild and a supercharger so I need a strong box?
Any help would be greatly appreciated, I was thinking about buying a wrecked 4x4 and doing the swap but right now I just need it back on the road preferably with the bigger brakes?
Thanks in advance!
Scott GTR.
