I picked the magnesium info up in one of the SSPs.Really? I didn't know that
Early 911 gearboxes (and engine cases) were magnesium, later ones aluminium. A friend bought a 72 911 S in bits from a shady dealer. He was used to later cars and had shifted quite a few ally boxes. I mentioned his early gearbox was had a mag case for lightness. He was really impressed and kept saying he couldn't believe the difference in weight when he moved it about. 'Wow, you can really feel the difference' he said.
Years later it got to the point of sending the box off for rebuild as the rest of the car was ready for its mechanics. Turned out it was half empty! It's become our standing joke. Dealer had long gone of course.
Would love a dsg conversion! My wife would even drive one then.

That sounds so right it must work ...A Jelly-Rusty-Timmus collaboration? A JRT-DSG?

If you manage a good engine swap and DSG gearbox, I’ll buy a project car and commission you guys to fit it. ? I suspect however after one install you’d not want to attempt a second!A Jelly-Rusty-Timmus collaboration? A JRT-DSG?

My car is insured with Adrian Flux. They're not perfect, but they offer modified car policies that allow you to play with your car.I rang up my insurers, RAC, enquiring about swapping from 17" 205/40s to a more comfortable standard size 15". An extra £35 plus an £25 admin fee. I asked whether this would be a one-off cost to register both wheel sets as I may want to use Winter tyres and switch back next spring. I was amazed when they said each swap would cost the same.
Are their other insurers which don't have such limited policies? I just want more comfort sand not to be fleeced at the same time.
