The lanes from bettws to nantymoel through all the s bends!

Had the car back today and f@ck me it changes gears like a motorbike but it's going to take some getting use to, it's as such close ratio's 2nd & 3rd gear are over in a blink of an eye!

Can't wait to get a trackday sorted next week, will get pics up over the week because it was too dark to take photos when I got home

Sweet! You done any clutchless shifts yet? Get a clip up

 

[Dave_R]

many but have learnt you can't do it when the box is cold or at low speeds..... when it misses you know about it, it's painful to hear!

Will get some videos up on my next trackday next week!

 

[Dave_R]

Really sorry about the photo's but I've been brusting to get photo's up of the shifter but the only ones I have is when I got the car home and they were taken in the dark on my iPhone

Will get better pics up when I finally take the car out of it's cover!

that looks at home in there,good to see that paint is so nice and clean,i take it that rod doesnt rub on the seat sport sticker looks rather close.

 

[Dave_R]

yea does look close in the photo's but it's not close enough to rub it

 

[cupra.al]

i look forward to the vids of it in action,ive always wanted to try one of them boxes out quite surprised the stick isnt longer though.

 

[Dave_R]

Yea I thought it will be higher but tbh I think the old oem cables, even if they were new wouldn't stand the test of time with the abusive gear changes with the dog box and the amount of play in the cables and the B&M shifter wouldn't be ideal for this type of box..... the standard 16v great but this dog box it needs this shifter I think!

There's still a bit of play due to the rub mounts used on the gearbox mount but Mark @ Saxon Motorpsort is gettings washer's, etc... made up for me to stifferen it all even more

awesome dave, clutchless shifts?

awesome dave, clutchless shifts?

mmmmmmmmmmmmm

 

[suj]

all you need now is some BBS E30 lightweight wheels, and you are onto a winner

 

[Dave_R]

Nah Speedline Challenge are next after I kill my tyres off!

 

[suj]

(not that much dish though lol)

 

[suj]

or some work wheels

 

[Dave_R]

(not that much dish though lol)

Like them but think they would look odd and out of place on mine!

or some work wheels

Okay but not to my taste would look more suited on Jap Crap

When you think Motorsport rims you think Compomotive (aka Flake-o-motives) and Speedlines...... which were actually used on the F2 rally car

 

[suj]

when I think motorsport I think BBS tbh

but I agree, but not a fan of them speedlines

a set of TH mono's or similar would look awesome, your car though haha
did ya get them wheels for the pissrat?

[Dave_R]

At the moment, yes! Mark's getting some metal mounts, pins & bearings made up for his VR6 soon and is getting 2 off of everything to send me some.
