Yep thats the only other thing to consider is the amount of K's its done. I grabbed it off a dude who has been racing EVO's in the tarmac for the last 10yrs he said the gearbox has been sitting in his woolshed since the early 90's so unsure on km's. Would prob be wise to get checked over before I sold it? Luke Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bravo 35 Report post Posted April 2, 2009 That sounds about where I'd start looking if I were buying one. They are getting harder to find. Used to be they were worth more than the 240's until the race series came along. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Boost Junky 1 Report post Posted April 2, 2009 Probably-specially if you dont want the buyer to come knocking on your door Yea haha, I just had a look at it.. you can tell its been sitting for a looooooong time lol. Gonna clean it up this weekend, still deciding if I will keep it in case my ZF manual box skrews out with the new turbo setup when its running... That sounds about where I'd start looking if I were buying one. They are getting harder to find. Used to be they were worth more than the 240's until the race series came along. Oh real so they are not worth more than the 240's anymore now that the race series is here? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bravo 35 Report post Posted April 2, 2009 Not based on my experience. Others may disagree. I paid $600 for a full 240 conversion a few years back, and $750 for a 260 conversion. Since then I've seen 260 conversions for as little as $600, and 240 boxes on there own for that much and more, but that is two ends of the scale though. Willing vendor willing buyer sets the market.... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BM WORLD 1283 Report post Posted April 3, 2009 PS PM Silverfox - he recently bought a box of an e24 - he may tell you what he paid for it.yea , but that one was the very rare and sort after getrag 265 box ,close ratio dog leg unit (excellent unit for racing) .have a look on ebay.de they sell for over 1500euro's Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Silver Fox 43 Report post Posted April 4, 2009 (edited) Mmmmm... I paid $1500 for it, because I wanted it. I've got a full f/l 318 conversion for sale, $700, and a box on it's own, for $380, if anyone's interested? I think they're good prices. 320 boxes are worth about the same, more if they've been serviced etc. Edited April 4, 2009 by Silver Fox Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Creaver 55 Report post Posted April 7, 2009 Bit of a noob question. Getrag 260 - is this an m30 or m20 box? If both, what is the difference apart from bellhousing? Which one are you selling Boost Junky? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Silver Fox 43 Report post Posted April 7, 2009 M20 Ian. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Creaver 55 Report post Posted April 7, 2009 (edited) What is the m30 box David? *edit* - looks to be 265? if it is, how much do these go for and are they compatible with all m30's - eg. 2.5/2.8/3.5 etc? Edited April 7, 2009 by Creaver Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Silver Fox 43 Report post Posted April 7, 2009 You have to be careful Ian, the getrag 240 fits the 318 and 320, but are different boxes with the same number, same with the 260, there is a version for the m30 and the m20, but they are different.

Creaver 55 Report post Posted April 7, 2009 (edited) Ok thanks David, looks like i'm coming into contact with an m30 2.5/2.8l manual gearbox from an e28, and will be looking to sell it off in the near future. Any info as to what this would be? Edited April 7, 2009 by Creaver Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
