I spent a few hours toying with different gearbox ideas.
First was something which hadnt been done much on the site, but the people who had weren't intrested in helping. a 1.7 puma box, 1.6 final drive and a s2 erst LSD.
Or an FRP item which would have been the same spec as above, but about 4 times the price. I was quoted £800 for a new one.
I decided to have a go at building the box myself, so i got a puma box and a s2 rst box and set about pulling them apart. I used my own 1.6 box to salvage the final drive.
Once the box was finished i gave it a shiny coat of black..
One shawspeed spec'd lump ready to go in its new home..
I had been speaking to interpro about supplying and fitting an omex 600 for me once the engine was back in. It was booked for a close, date so the rush began.

Now was time for testing. It ran very bad. Cutting out at every junction. But only a week until omex time!
