	Good thing about cav turbos is on a long journey, and you really need a piss, you can just damp down in the footwell, as it will just empty itself through the various rusted holes in the floorpan. :\|

	Yes. I remember :) iirc 2 wheel drive conversion kit for the F28 is about £95 from MTEC :)

	i was gonna buy a cav turbo that had been 2 wd converted remember?
LukeGSi	posted on 27th Mar 05 at 14:51
	ppppffffftttt most F28s are already 2 wheel converted as the 4x4 is often shagged :lol:

	Yeah, that's personal preference mate, I understand that, and it makes sense, I just couldn't get my head round what this Dan lad had been told by these people he's been listening to :lol:

	quote: Originally posted by Kerry also the fact that f28 are 6 speed therefore costs more to fit Yep, mind you, I was reading a thread in Help n Mods not long back and a certain someone wanted to charge an extra £150 for modifying the bulk head wear the box sits, and to enlighten people on what a con it is, all that is needed is about 4sq inch to be cut away and it takes about 10minutes :! Anal rapage.

It's just your usual internet forum guesswork which people believe qualifies them into being a high knowledgable technician, bollocks. I agree. But F28 would be preferable if I was to have a LET :) [Edited on 27-03-2005 by LukeGSi]

	F18's are used in vectra's, can be coupled up with hydraulic clutches. F20's not being appropriate with c20lets? Bullshit! It's just your usual internet forum guesswork which people believe qualifies them into being a high knowledgable technician, bollocks.

	Either will fit the engine and there's no guarantee that the box hasn't been changed prior to removal. The F value is 1/10th of the torque rating, so F20 is 200lb/ft, F16 is 160lb/ft etc. Standard LET is about that, hence why F20 is really the minimum and F28 is wiser. Having said that, F20/F16 are cheap and F28s are not.

	wouldnt that be an f20 then?
dirtydan	posted on 27th Mar 05 at 14:13
