I think i'm gonna buy garys gearbox and diff, he wants 300 quid for them both but i think i'll need to rebuild the box. But for that price i dont mind. Its a quaife diff mating to a 6 speed quaife dog box, not sure which final drive it is but i think i'll need to replace that anyway.

6 speed box wont fit unless its a 6 speed gearset inside a 5 speed (O2J) box as the std 6 speed box is hugeeeeee!

 

[acidstrato]

dave i want you to have my babies

 

[PhilW]

I know that dave. Its a 02J box with a 5 speed gearset with an extra lump added to the end of the box. lol.

I love all this talk of boxes.

Some of the best nightlife in Cancun mate. As good as anywhere.
Alot of the yank students go about this time on there summer break because the drinking age there is 18.
And Carribean style beaches and seas as it's. Can't beat it!

Yeah I drove. sheesh not feeling good here mind. Need sleep

 

[acidstrato]

ahhh sounds sweet never ever thought of doing it before

i was fairly fuelled last night but had to be up early this morning to start gutting the bathroom! its been fun so far and i've only removed half the tiles! might leave the rest on until new suite arrives

bought a fancy chrome towel rail style radiator too, so gonna have to trim the bathroom in all bling!

 

[nogutsnoglory]

any of you going to inters?
a mate of mine has got a couple special passes so we're going to head up there on the sat for a few hours

 

[PhilW]

I'm tempted to go up on saturday, i think me and dave_cymru are thinkin about it.

Whats the special passes about?

 

[nogutsnoglory]

well a mate of his works for the news crew or something and got him a couple of tickets free, bonus
mind you im driving from london to ipswich to pick up my mate and then up to leicester so its not exactly just up the road but sharing the petrol so it'd be rude not to

 

[PhilW]

Have you said about being on the SCN stand? I quite fancy that rather than parking in the car park. lol.

 

[Daz_gibbo]

Sweet, my rents got that chrone rad your on about Carl. very pimp!

 

[nogutsnoglory]

no havent really thought about it, be my first time there so wasnt that bothered as was going to going in a diesel a4 to begin with but now taking my cupra, i dont really know the score with it like whether you need to be there first thing and stay all day, i kinda want to be a bit flexible to come and go as and when, still come over and say hello though

 

[acidstrato]

last year the SCN stand on the saturday was shocking...was like 4 of us of which the 3 others joined another stand and i went out on the strip all day. the sunday was meant to be much better, however i came home and never bothered with the sunday which was abit annoying as i bought a weekend ticket. but tbh besides the strip and a sun tan i werent much bothered with anything else

the funny thing was, even though the strip was only a 1/4mile race, cos its part of the circuit i was hitting 140-150mph at some parts lol mind you i only finished first once, got absolutely dicked over in the rest. werent cheap neither
