Here’s his f31/81 m3 touring creation

I know who the owner and builder was/is of this car - he most definitely isn’t the typical stereotype! Lol

Yes mate, certainly did! I agree - the yellow isn’t to my taste either. I’ve told them that I’ll only buy it if that’s removed. Meanwhile, back in the real world! ?

You see that Ferrari in the reflection? We had one of those in the other day! Lol!

Yeah that was a 100% exercise in outright performance with zero f***s given on refinement! I spent a good 25 minutes just looking over it, and I was on the clock. Lol!

@Jeff simply from what I’ve been told, the F40’s tend to go down to London if they need any major work. The newer dealers only see them for the routine stuff apparently.

We do all the mot’s for Ferrari mate as they’re on the same site, and also part of the same group I work for. It arrived on a trailer and left on a trailer. Lol! We get to see some earlier classic rarri’s as well.

Thought I’d share some pics I got of a F40 that we had in the workshop this week. Was only in for an mot, but had a good nosey around it! For me, this is the automotive equivalent of the holy grail. All £1.1m quids worth!

I try my best to help anyone mate if I can.

They have already been worded up on the issue, so I don’t see it being an issue - all assuming it is what I’m saying it is of course. ?? I made the call on Friday afternoon. ?

I don’t think it’s fair to just limit him to diffs! Just ‘The Destroyer’ covers a multitude of sins! Lol

I don’t think you’ll have any issues unless you let @Rystar aka the destroyer drive it. ?

Once in a race car and the 2nd just now.

I’ve seen that failure once before, and heard of others.

@Rystar if it’s the Quaife, warranty *should cover it. The loss of drive would point at the drive cup.

Nah you’ve killed something mate. The video could be the Quaife that’s let go. The gear on the drive cup has potentially broken free!!

100% out of them mate! Lol! They all think they’re reinventing the wheel! ?

Same thing cavemen were doing mate just before they started working at cape canaveral mate.

Good call! I’d forgotten about that sleeve

Lol yeah but not this quick!! I’m going with one of the following items as a potential failure: 1) clutch 2) driveshaft 3) stripped teeth off a gear/gears.

I made the enquiry when @Rystar sent me the box and they were no longer available from Renault. I’m as interested to see what’s happened with this gearbox as everyone else as this is the only one I’ve had fail.

Synchro rings on 3rd and 4th gear. I’ve found some replacement synchros that are better than the original Renault items.

‘Popped the hood’ - love it!

The smaller gear is the one that needs the low profile pulled on it mate, and is the one that you can chip the teeth off. Lol! It’s quite tight on the shaft. The other gear with the synchro ring on is the easier of the 2, so looks can be deceiving. Regards the wear on teeth etc, if it’s...

Upload them direct off your phone mate. That’s all I do and they appear to look ok to me! Lol

You can get the gear off, but I’d imagine you’ll chip the teeth on 5th. Got one in currently that’s had the same treatment!! Definitely options for changing 5th gear, but I’d need to look at ratios.

All depends on the crank you’re using. If it’s the standard ph2 172 item, I wouldn’t waste your money. They’re s**t and flex far too much. Only cranks worth bothering with are the ph1 crank and the 197 crank. Anything else is better off being used as a door stop.

If you get your box out and up to me, I’ll rebuild it for you mate.
