I've had a gearbox sent that way and a couple of other items..... I've had pretty good luck with them overall.

Sometimes their online calculators don't work perfectly, sometimes you have to phone them and they will force a different set of dimensions in to make it work.

I'm pretty sure each and every Parcel2Go has come in via Fed Ex..... so it's not like they are using some unknown company.


If you are interested in supplying me with a Quaife LSD for both the M32 and F28 as well as clutches I would be interested in seeing what you can do for me.

I think the best price I found for the F28 LSD was about 450GBP off of one of the guys from Migweb.

I lost contact with him for a while so I didn't end up buying the parts from him yet.

As for power and FWD, my personal opinion is that FWD is fine as long as you can match the traction to the torque.
I'm looking to run 315/30-18 race tires with loads of grip so I'm sure I can easily make use of well over 400BHP.

I guess I also need to get some parts to match my F28 to my Astra Mk2 ( Sold as a Passport Optima GSi here in Canada ) but I suppose I could just fabricate them if need be.

thats very cheap for the diff's i paid £500 for mine. the guy that sells on mig is the only guy i know that does such good prices.

For clutches i need to know what engine its for, and what the maximum torque is and at what rpm.

It was Steveboyslim and the price was 490 GBP not the 450

The engine is a 2.0L with a 6 bolt flat flywheel. ( should be the same as your standard flat 8V flywheel )

I'm looking for an 8000 RPM redline and torque handling up into the 450 lbft to 600 lbft torque range.

i doubt you can get a std fitment clutch to handle 600ftlb of torque, you would need a race clutch and it will be very expensive

I'm surprised to hear you say that.... there are quite a few cars around here running well over 400 lb ft with standard 4 or 6 puck "street/race clutches"

Here is an example of a 6 puck rated for 602 lb ft on an SRT4

The other common turbo car here is the Mitsubishi Eclipse ( 4G63)

Here is a 4 puck rated for 525 lb ft

If your responding to me.... that price is for two different cars... they don't make clutches for the F28/M32/F20 over here.

I do like to look at price, but I'm very well off so price is not as important as availability and quality.
