The new engine was the cause of the problem, too much torque i think!Oh no! Not your new engine I hope
Mine went simply through normal day to day driving, so I wouldnt be so sure.....i say you would be fine ben,ive had 2 high power gtirs as daily cars and never had a gearbox go yet

maybe your car does'nt have as much power as you think, marks has stripped from power, like 450bhp and 400+lbft of torque from a 2.4 litre engine.i say you would be fine ben,ive had 2 high power gtirs as daily cars and never had a gearbox go yet

Thanks Phil, the car was performing better than i could have imagined before the box went so with an uprated box it should be very competitive 8)Thats a bumer so sorry to read this, hope all is fixed soon.

Just from the power and torque. I had a feeling it would go sometime this year, just didn't think it would be so soon :lol:So did it go because of abuse or do the gearboxes go from the pure power going through it
Yes I thought I'd better leave you to the scrutineer. You were helpful thanks and I'll try not to be put-off by your experience. There were many people who experiences issues unfortunately - engine, gearbox, suspension, wheel failure etc. The event was run by my Motor Club so it was good to help. Startline radio was a busy place!Hopefully some of what i said was of use to you Andrew, the scrutineer turned up just at the wrong time really!
Didn't realise you were helping out with the event, hope you didn't get sunburnt out there on the start line all day. If you need to know anything else you can usually find the answer on here by searching or asking. Hope you haven't been put off by seeing my car break, they don't always do that!
Thanks Andrew. I'll be back out racing as soon as I can afford an uprated gearbox, it'll take more than something like this to make me give up!Hope you get everything fixed-up and are back out soon. Andrew
