Started off at half 8 this mornin wen i got up and went to go and change my oil and filter before the drive to tuning developments 90 miles away,

got halfway down the motor way and turned my music down and realised there was a slight transmission noise, didnt think it was owt major as i had meant to have just had the gearbox rebuilt - so i carried on.

anyway got down to td with no problems wot so ever and spent a bit of time chattin to the lads and lookin at the new weapon which is secret !! and i gave them the keys to my baby and waited for them to get back - which they did an hour later to recharge the laptop with 90 % of the mapping done.

we charged it up for a bit and then they went back out to finish it off

got a call ten minutes later to say that the gearbox had blown up !! bloody mint - at least it wasnt the engine,

it seems like it has stripped 3rd of all its teeth and you can hear them all in the bottom of the gearbox it sounds really lovely B)

anyway - i am leaving it with nick he is gunna put me a different box on and finish the mapping - so i can get mine repaired with the diff in it

all more cost again its starting to piss me off :mad: then i got a train home big thanks to nick and mike for all todays happenings propper good lads

at least i got to see a 425 bhp run on the dyno of a 3000gt B) B) B)

ahh and i met shorty aswell - sound as a pound - nice to meet you dude have look with the enine
