hi ya dingy

the gear box was a glebe , i got to know nick cresswell through andy lloyd ,my box was perfect, it is a direct replacement for a standard t5 still using the same alcon 6 paddle clutch it was a t5 straight cut dog box ,changed gear really quick , the only problem i had and it was my fault because i dident give myself enough time to get used to it, and i hit first gear at about 90mph at donnington and it revved way passed 10,000 rpm and blew 8 exhaust valves ,my only advice to anybody having one of there boxes especially if its for a road going car ,is have it with the syncroes because the noise is deffening but i suppose the noise adds to the rs scene ,

great to hear it from the pits but when your in the car its a different story , on track its not to bad as the noise of the engine diff, you can hardley hear the box but on the road its deffening usually have tissues stuffed in my ears looks quite funny when driving round
