Anyone wanting to put a rotor in there mini check this out. There was one floating around in a laser a few weeks back, this one is in a civic. Not sure what gearbox is used though :(

gearbox is on the wrong side to be a honda box.... I'd love to know what it is... I tried registering on that site and asking the guy what box it is but they make you put money in an account as part of the registration process! monkeys

it could be honda, just turned around?? It has a cable clutch, plus the starter motor looks to be in a funny position for a normal box.

Could be anything i spose, maybe mitsubishi?

nahhh, it looks completely different to my 'box - but anyway, if it was turned around the other way the diff would be at the front of the motor :?

I really want to know what kinda box it is... seems like the bell housing a perfect match for the rotary

Dellow automotive may have had something to do with that. Best company i've ever dealt with for gearbox/bellhousing mods. Made fitting the T5 to my monaro a piece of cake, using the standard clutch mechanism. Instantly went from breaking gearboxes to diff's once I changed.

If you read down on the page there are questions and it says he used a corona gearbox and was rebuilt by avenue autoport wherever that is.
