Was just asking the question,would ideally like a powerful,reliable motor,wondering if I should be changing from a T34 to get the reliability,not so much a change to a GT35,just more so asking for advice on the matter.
Will change/upgrade the drive when it does go bang

No,no track days,dont even really give it the beans all that much,feels really nice to drive and well happy with it,just when I read this thread it got me thinking,should I be changing my set up.
Im kinduva ready and waiting for the box to go,I'd imagine the torque alone would kill it,but I'll cross that bridge when I come to it,its my first cossie and I'm just looking at ways to maybe improve it a bit from when I got it
