Looking rather sexual Si

Not you...

The box

 

Very Very Nice indeed!

 

Looks sweet buddy,just hope it can handle the torque them new blowers are gonna push out,looking forward to the map tests/results matey.

 

More power - dont break box - more power - dont break box. Vicious circle

Hope to just break the circle

 

Ive forgotten already.... What box (or internals) is it?

 

Modena dog box, 6speed sequential

 

Wow!

Torque capacity rating? I'm guessing in excess of a 1000lb ft?

 

nope

 

lol

Errrr....Less?

 

There is really one other than 3cars havent broken one to my knowledge running similar to I hope to be

Its the same gearset in the gobstopper, banana, andy.f's car etc.

They do get broken I believe in rally cars but I dont intend doing any jumps.

Simon

 

If you aint flying you aint trying

 

hehe

If you can't find 'em, grind 'em [the gears, that is]

Not that you'll have that issue with a sequential

 

If weight on wheels < 1000kg
Cut power
Else
Full power captain
End

Sorted

 

End IF

 

its my own psuedo code and I make the language rules!

 

Jeez bet that cost a bit . When you next out si? Text you to mate regarding toucan and LC prob

 

Looking now. Speedo fixed?

 

Hope you dont break it Simon
Fingers crossed you break the circle

Havent sat in your greeny one yet...only went out in the peperminty one

 

Might be able to sort that lol

 

And im STILL waiting to lick it.....that will set some tongues wagging.

 

break the circle waiting to lick it? wagging tongues Is this some kind of secret JGM appreciation ******* club ?

 

I have been manic with work so not had chance to do anything on the car myself.

In the mean time Stew and Ian have done a fair bit. The clutch hub for the carnetic clutch I use I bought a replacement to match the new larger input shaft on the new box. Unfortunatly because the input shaft is machined to mount to an impreza flywheel but isnt an impreza diameter we have a minor issue with the clutch hub.
Have a solution but only 80% happy with it. Talking with carbonetic about them possibly making a one off for it, either that or I have to change to a different make of clutch but the current one has been very good and so when something works I try not to change. This is delaying box fitment.

In the meantime another gearbox has been fitted to ensure the engine is in the correct position and Stew has cracked on with making the new manifolds for the new turbos

Looks like the Martian's head from war of the worlds!

 

Or an elephant trunk!!
