    Hi I am fitting a 1.8 Black Top from a Ginetta G20 into a Mazda rx8. What clutch should I use?

    FREE CABLE CLUTCH CONVERSION ANYONE?
    I have just been sent this by a customer. Someone has finally sorted the cable clutch issue.

    Can anyone tell me the correct propshaft length when filling the RX8 box in a mk2 Escort with English axle. I've modified Ford circlip type slip yoke and mated it to the Mazda slip yoke.Click image for larger version Name:	IMG_0616.JPG Views:	166 Size:	125.3 KB ID:	84015Click image for larger version Name:	IMG_0614.JPG Views:	165 Size:	107.0 KB ID:	84016

    Hi.
    I like to convert my ford Capri Mk2 with Pinto engine to RX8 gearbox.
    What can I do to connect my original Speedometer ?
    as I am intended to use car on the road. So I need it MOT compliant.
    Thanks in advance.

    Think you'll need to test fit and adjust to get it right Mate. That's what I'm going to do. There doesn't seem to be a standard as there are a lot of variables.
