I've got a JC5 130 without the speedo hole or worm drive, at home with pretty much every tool available is it possible to change casings for a knackered JC5 with the hole and also to fit the worm drive part?
Anything to look out for flying out when I open up the casing?
I wanna...
The oval hole on the bottom that goes to the breather, can this be blocked up when I don't run a carbon canister?
Is the hole purely for the carbon canister? It doesn't have a hole into the head does it?
Ideally I'd like to just chemical weld a piece of ali over the hole on the plenum...
Does a JC5 129 (172 cup) gearbox have the worm drive for a manual speedo cable?
What drives the 172 cup dials? is it a manual cable or a digital pickup from the "worm drive"?
Also JC5 130 (172 "I think") does this have a hole in the casing or is this like the 182 with the ABS pickups...
Can this be done DIY ? is it worth buying a sh*tter to drive round in for a bit and do a clio GTT conversion myself ?

I know the standard offset is 36 on the 16v but the tyres are 185, what would be the right offset for a set of 17s 205/40 ? Is 42 OK ? or shall i use some 5mm spacers to keep it to near standard ?
BTW its lowered 40mm ish front and a bit more back !!
My car and £500/600 to spend what would you buy ?
