    Update time, well as most probably already know i blew 5th in the old girl yesterday. Was driving out of town to a performance shop to talk to the guy about an intercooler & performance extras for the ride & while passing a truck on the highway slipped her into 5th & nothing there [except for a horrible noise]. Bugger !
    Well done some priceing today & i can get a rebuilt & strengthened replacement box from rocky for a couple of grand so i've got to remove mine & install the new one. Will have to wait a while as funds are a bit tight at the mo but at least i can easily source another.

    Also as the funds become more available we're looking at fitting an intercooler, new custom exhaust, different dump pipe, dyno tune & pump mod.
    Also considering a deisel gas system. The mechanic is predicting 250-300 rwhp so really looking foward to the outcome of this work.
    So keep posted for some further updates.

    Can't wait to see how it comes along mate, should make a powerful package when completed.
    Just a shame about the gearbox crapping itself right as your trying to organise that
