Went for the 33/37, will be interesting to see if I end up using it on track or if upping the limiter a little to 7750rpm and holding 4th will be quicker.

Gearbox is back in with new 5th, 3rd syncros , shorter 5th ratio and re built diff. Hope to get alignment done on Monday. I'm book on track on wed but if I get alignment done I will book Monday night aswell.

I was told to run a oil suited to the box rather than the diff , as a diff running on the wrong oil will last longer than a box on the wrong oil.

It's normally lady bank I use aswell. The box is now built hope to get it fitted on Friday , I'm booked on for the TS night on wed and might also book up for the mon night if I can get alignment done on sat/mon

Cheap and easy upgrade for the rubbers is standard ones filled with Sikaflex. Where did you get your alignment done Craig ?

Either can I its getting beyond a joke that's over 6 weeks , even giving the time waiting for the 5th gear and sourcing a new casing I think that's a joke. The part that's annoying me is they messaged me while I was in Malaysia asking for a serial number to order a casing and I explained that...

I wish it was Mark, wasn't planning on spending much on a helmet but seen this and though I want lol

Picked up a cheap spare centre console this week and had it painted yesterday so that is the interior now finished , unless i can pick up a cheap GT2/GT3 rear carpet.

To cheer myself up about still not having a working car I bought myself a new skid lid today , also got myself a alpine star suit.

Having a bit of a nightmare with the rebuild , the gearbox shop noticed a crack in my outer casing and had issues trying to source the correct casing. I'm hoping to have the box back soon , they didn't find anything obvious with the diff but have re plated it and checked preload.

I got my fiber glass tailgate fitted and painted today , only a small saving in weight over my gutted standard part but every little helps. With the passenger seat removed and my lighter wheels I would think the car should now weigh 900kg with fluids.

Im giving them until Wed to get something sorted then Im going to get the whole lot boxed up and sent to Agency Trans.

Tell me about it was meant to be at a track night tonight and racing on sunday, thats been over a month my box has been away and only found out about the crack last week.

Nope he said they weren't interchangeable :( The car the box came out of was a 2003 172 cup but don't know if that was the original box to that car or if its a bitza box.

I got them from ebay , just search clio graphics.

Ok just for future ref after talking to Agency transmission who i now wish I had used :( , there are a few different outer casing bearing configurations. 1 . Main shaft - taper bearing Layshaft - ball race held in with a cir clip 2. Main shaft -taper bearing Layshaft - taper...

Im having a nightmare with CTS and the rebuild of my cup gearbox. The outer casing is/got cracked and was picked up during the rebuild , this has been welded and cracked again so got some spare casings from Northloop :up: I have just had a msg from cts saying The casings that have been...

What was the result of your diff fault ? Did you end up having to strip your box last week ?

It's a fiber glass door they do flex open a little at speed on the A pillar ,but that looks like the passenger didn't shut the door properly.

Yip we got past and held for a few laps until he got warmed up , the astra races in time attack and goes well.

This was my old stickers

Have the ring lands went ? Know of a couple of supercharged engines that has happened to ? Did you get to the bottom of the diff issue ?

New gearbox casings are now on the way to CTS thanks to Northloop (Mark) . Today i received my last fg panel in a new tailgate from Chris at CMC, so now have his doors ,tailgate and roof scoop , so hope to get that dropped off for paint at the start of the week along with a centre console for...

Well casing was welded but cracked again during reassembley. Anyone near Hertfordshire have a some JC5 129 casings or a cheap box. CTS are going to get a price for new casings but expect ££££ for that. I don't even know what section of casing it is yet to so not sure if it has to be a 129 or if...

Will keep that in mind Mark thanks, still not heard back from CTS to see if they managed to weld mine :confused:

Sounds very similar to what recently happened to my gripper diff , car sat for a couple of months , I gave the box and oil change and on a quick test run it was really bad to the point the car was almost stopping. My box has been at CTS for the last 4 weeks getting rebuilt but they couldn't...

Home in a week and had the plan of getting the box back in the car, alignment,weight and power run done asap, to hopefully get a track day in before entering a SLS race but not sure if plans are going ot work out. After CTS having the box for 3.5 weeks, having it stripped for over 2.5 they were...

What about Stu or is he having a stand of his own for his fleet.

I would go with the 3k conversion and use the other 2K on a gearbox upgrade so you can use all the power.

The actual shift was brilliant , really smooth change was just the click noise I didn't like .
