That's a pity Kev. Did you miss the qualifying round (which I think the cossies had ?)
Have you got your new box in and running ?

i went to qualifying andy and did this to my prop



which in turn transferred most of the drive thru the front
diff and stripped the pinion as you can see



i,v got a rallycross prop coming for it this week and i should
have the diff back but i,m just fed up travelling down south
so i,v pulled out
got the 7speed box in it, its an awesome bit of kit...well pleased with it
cheers kev

Coool !! Jammy sod !

Where did you find it ? I was after one when the box went on me old cossie, but ended up just getting it rebuilt.

I guess it'll take a bit getting used to...as far as i can remember, they're not easy when going slow, but i guess slow aint an option for yours..lol.

Should be slick though once used to it.

Winners of TOTB2:

1/4 mile: Skyline
Top speed: Skyline
Track: Evo

Is this a fair assumption? I'm just pi55ed because I don't think I can go!

andy, it was at bruntigthorpe...got 3 180mph+ top speed runs to do a bit of mapping/ det check it then first launch and that happened
that was when i decided its not going down south for a while..with knockhill and crail being so close theres no point..other than top speed runs but thats a bit boring.
so i,m going to start doing a few top marques nights up knockhill with it

johnny, i managed to find a source for them .... its a bit of handful having 7 gears till you get used to it.... especially in the town LOL

It's at Elvington, York.

I think this is the website.

1/4 Mile - Could be either Cossie/Skyline/Evo

Top Speed - Skyline although The Reyland Cossie is doing 194mph at the moment

Track - Evo

Cheers,
Grant

I'll be down spectating

If the GTR lot get their Jap drag Skyline past the regs then it will walk the 1/4 mile (sub 8 sec car, but what it will make of street tyres is anyones guess).
Last I heard Ronnie was up around 215mph which will take the top speed run.
Track is anyones guess, depends on the finaly layout as a few clubs have cars that could do well.

Cant wait to see the box in action nex t time you're up at KH or Crail. Coool!

If you can hold off till tomorrow, I'll let you know then ??
