Gearbox is all done, went round before to see how Disco was getting on.

Hopefully we'll see the mad man drifting at Silverstone tomorrow.

All done ready for tomorrow.

Simon,

i really like the cossies and i would not sell it just because i have had a few probs with it.

i can fix it all myself and its not my everyday car so i can afford to have it sat there,even if its broke.

will have to sort something out with the gearbox though,at least uprated internals and the rest etc...

oh well, see how long this one lasts.
