[QUOTE="madmatt, post: 7591, member: 93"] There was a good article in FPC a while back about trying to road legalise a Racing Cup Clio by getting a full SVA test. It needed new switchgear, a new chassis plate, a ratchet handbrake (not enough for it to just have a hydraulic handbrake) then in the end it failed on emissions because of the Magnetti Marelli ECU they didn't have the software to remap it. The Twingo R2 is COMPLETELY road legal as used in the Jim Clark rally last year, all cars must be taxed and road legal as the stages may be on closed roads, transit to and from stages are on standard Road Traffic Laws :D As Orbital has very correctly stated, the SADEV Straightcut sequential box is road legal, but, given the engagement torques of the clutch and the nature of the gearbox, not something I'd like to have for a daily commute..try parking in your nearest multistory or happily moving off with a sequential box and paddle clutch...you might find the wear rates and noise somewhat....frustrating.
