The only issue you'll have is the speedo as non ABS cars use a sensor on the gearbox whereas ABS cars take it off one of the rear wheel speed sensors. So if your changing the gearbox make sure you have a sensor.
Although some non-ABS cars have a single Wheel speed sensor on the front for it.

Don't think you can use the speedo drive and sensor from a R65 to a IB5 as the speedo drives are most likely different. I can't remember if the IB5 even has a slot for a speedo drive tbh.

Yeah I'd be surprised if Ade didn't know the answer. The only reason I'm not sure is that all IB5s ive seen were fitted to cars with ABS.
