2 of mine had a little clutch slip, but the 3rd was fine
and i always heard stories of gearbox's
i never had an issue with these make sure the perf fan works, else you have a bitch starting and puff's of black smoke starting
new fans only about 40quid, and you can get them from RTOC

Seeing this has made me want one again now 
Heres a couple pics of the one i had about 6 years ago, it was on a T25 hybrid running 22 psi and must be one of the most fun cars i've ever owned Just noticed my old valver in the pic too, should never have sold that either
I think i was one of the first people that started using cosworth intercoolers as a front mount on them, i used to run 2 intercoolers on mine

awsome little cars , can make them go very very quickly for a sensbile outlay Same as cossies really, people give them a bad rep for reliability after they have fucked about and bodged them , do them properly and look after them and they are good as gold.
Closest I ever got to owning one was when I found a bargin in the local free ads in swindon, went round to the guys house, test drove it (it flew!!) , and said I will be back on friday with the rest of the cash to collect it. Friday comes, mates driven all the way down from brum to drive my other car back for me, so I ring the guy to tell him i'm on the way, only to be told he had stacked it that morning under a truck on his last blast before he sold it
He was a lucky lucky fucker, the HGV bumper had missed his head by millimetres, car was a right mess, and the poor fucker had to give me my Ł100 deposit back as well not sure who was more pissed off, him, me or my mate who had wasted his day off

Mate had one, and my 1st GTT had a Raider interior in it for some reason (ie black carpets rather than red, and blue flecks on the seats rather than red).
Old guy near me still has one, must be in his 70s, pimps around with his OAP bitches in the car.

fair play to ya!!!
great to see guys like you putting the effort into restoring cars like these.
i am sure it will be very well finished when you are done with it.
but sure then it will be sold off before you get the chance to drive it....
best of luck!!!

My bro had one when he was 18, but due to insurance, he never run it on the road! it was a right beast, with just a few tasteful mods. The Wheels are OZ Super T's
The Twin Dump Valves sounded wicked!
He still has 8 Standard wheels in good condition if anyone wants them. I think there are some other little bits around too, could have a look.
