[QUOTE=t5 pete;656085]Really bad news neil what actually happend to the box did it loose all drive?[/QUOTE] Yes mate just lost drive, just about to run pulled away and bang no forward motion, no oil or mess on floor and no visable signs of holes or cracks in box.
Aaah Jeez Neal - I am gutted for you. Having lost a few boxes with the quaiffe. I feel your pain. I can recommend a firm if you plan to rebuild it? I hope you are not going to give up. Won't be the same without you. I'll be back next year.
[QUOTE=LiamT4;656052]That really makes me laugh, everyone else is struggling to get under 14 seconds, and are breaking things while they try, and you do it constantly........while still using standard rods![/QUOTE] I managed a few runs under 14 sec's and didnt break anything and was only running 286bhp aswell ;) Looking forward to next year also, will be trying very hard to get into the 13's with my new t5 :) :)
so will the diff be ok? you'll use it for another box or is it the quaiffe thats broken?
Sorry to hear the bad news Neal... The last time I raced at Shakespeare my gearbox went too albeit slightly down the road on the way home. If you need a hand with anything give me a shout.
