Default cars broke again

Well the story thus far is as follows last week vec goes in for gearbox swop
fit new clutch & finaly fit litened fly wheel, Well 1 week later 3 gearbox's
later i get my car back with 12 months mot
original gearbox as others were KAPUTT, re fitted with flywheel & clutch
ready to go. I was warned that the box was ready to die But me
& smit had other ideas .......

firstly anyone with a v6 you have to get a lightened flywheel you
wont regret it PROMISE. Anyway as we were putting the vec through its paces Smit got in to do a lap he only got 10 yards the gearbox gave up the ghost with a massive whine & a bang !!!!!!

So a quick call to super B & L CUSTOMS bens sourced me a box & going to fit it for me, i'll take pics

I'll be keeping it if it doesn't sell for that.

Not going to be taken for a mug. Had several offers of £1500, and £1600. All I could do was LOL!

Anyway back on topic.. you wouldn't be thinking of a change of car would you mate? DON'T! You've spent too much, and just got yours looking sweet! Bare with it and get it sorted.. that's my opinion anyway
