    Hover conversion? Saves worrying about kerbs I guess - but where are you installing the flux capacitor?

    That is farking ghey as fark.

    I know sfa about boxes so can't help you there, but if you can't make it let me know man, I may be able to refund the monies to you. I'll try to get a reserve in to cover your spot.

    I have no idea about R154 internally but I just did a front housing swap on a nissan 5 speed (w71c). Gearbox problems aren't hard to diagnose once it's apart. I do recommend you upgrade to the marlin stuff posted in your R154 thread. Heard real good things about their stuff.

    ill still come on Sunday and race.. i can take off gently in 2nd gear.. just means my times will be ratshit.. but im not exactly trying to be competitive..

    After that, the gearbox will come off and ill rebuild it.. will definitely upgrade to the stuff posted.. and maybe more.. either way its a bucketload cheaper than a new r154..

    don't worry, we will push you off the line so you can just drop 2nd once it gets rolling.

    Just gave in... new tyres going on on Friday, no more budge, no more barely legal insides and no more ancient hard old crap!

    Trying out Bridgestones new RE002's, only $189 ea for 225/50/16 (yes, thats the widest I can really go on the rear! damn skinny wheels.)

    Interested to see how they go, I've been pretty happy with my Adrenalins.

    Weather forecast is now mostly sunny from friday through to tuesday - hopefully it stays that way!
