They're still available........I can get them done in smaller batches now! :wink:

What to see if he cuts through the bulkhead??? Lol!

I'm pretty sure it's a plug and play solution tbh mate.

You'll not notice much difference at all tbh. Might be slightly better on fuel at cruising speeds.

I can help with the first item on your requirement list. :wink:

Lol - quality picture! For anyone who's not had the joy of going for a drive in this car, I can confirm its a real weapon! It's deceptively quick too. We were into 3 figure in no time at all (30.3mph :wink:) and it just keeps pulling. Great car and a great conversion. Shame the owners a bell...

Yeah maybe next week. Lol!

Lol! Sorry mate

That's one of the reasons I've never bothered doing a trackday there tbh. Just doesn't have enough appeal. I even managed to get bored with oulton! And I've only been once! Lol

That's not a bad plan right up to the point that you encounter the splined 5th gear not playing ball and not coming off the shaft. Every single box I've stripped, the 5th gear has been a pita to remove. f**king things! Lol! I did consider doing it the very same way though, so original 5th for...

Made a start on the gearbox today. Waiting on 4th gear arriving ( on back order) so there's not really much else I can do other than knock a bearing race on to the pinion end of the mainshaft. The bearing collar for 4th gear on the top of the shaft has now been fitted properly too. Gave myself a...

That is the smallest laminova mocal do mate. It was originally used on my Astra Quaife straight cut gearbox. It used to have overheating issues from anything over 150-160mph and this cooler was boss of the job!! Box in bits is no drama tbh mate. It's been stripped down like that for well over 12...

Thanks. It's all just a bit of fun tbh. I like to do things differently too. If it was all out N/A performance I was after I'd have to choose itb's, but that's not the aim with this for me. Thanks! I try my best!

Flol!

Cheers Tim. I'm trying not to think about that! Lol! Sub 8:15 is still the target though, but in 2015 I'm not sure unfortunately.

The CM Composites ones will fit very well mate. He remade them after making them actually fit a 1*2 fog light opening, unlike the original cup racer ones. They were done with the ethos based on "looks mint from the grandstand". Lol

Lol! No worries mate - I know the feeling!!

Gear ratios? Standard mate jc5 129 mate. It's not all that clear in my reply looking back.

Thanks. Yeah 1st to 4th are the staying the same but I'm running a meg 5th gear. Final drive is staying standard as well.

Ok, so little bit of an update and a few pics! Here's the laminova that I'll be using to keep the oil cool. Really trick bits of kit tbh. Next up we have a jc5 in kit form!! Hope you lot know where everything goes, because I'm fucked if I do! Lol! Here's a shot of the freshly painted gearbox...
