2011 rebuild

[gem-s13]

no need to, it fits in without too much hassle

ye it fits ok but try change a box in a hurry track side between runs, it always nice to have more room!! and at this stage of a build its always worth thinking of that stuff

Whats the story with the heater box if ya tunnel it out more because the heater box is sitting in top the tunnel as it is...!

u should make the tunnel bigger for the box why u r at it handy if u are going rb box

no need to, it fits in without too much hassle

ye it fits ok but try change a box in a hurry track side between runs, it always nice to have more room!! and at this stage of a build its always worth thinking of that stuff

ah i wouldnt bother with that...the box fits fine as it is and that would be a lot of hassle
ya if i was planning on changing a box at an event it would be handy but i dont have a spare box and if i did blow a box it would be staying blown haha

Whats the story with the heater box if ya tunnel it out more because the heater box is sitting in top the tunnel as it is...!

am id say if you didnt change the height of the tunnel much you might squeeze it in alright...im not sure about it though
