The 037's arch rival.

Sorry Chris,

Sorry, no irony intended, I was just looking at the best value/reliable box to do the job.
Gearbox source is less identifiable than an engine so we might just get away with it, I think? We wouldn't want Enzo to get barred from any Italian car meets on the source of his gearbox now would we!

As long as you didn't own up?!
It would be a good gearbox, I'm sure.

Yes Peter, as Enzo has reminded us, but I'd not forgotten. Even though it's white, V6, and group 4 now.

The 037 rep that Enzo has posted a photo of is interesting.
The originals did have twin rear shock absorbers per corner, but non of them were coilovers. Just a single spring in the middle, independent of the dampers.

Wasn't there an Abarth version of the 037 with a V6?? I think they only made two of them.
