All is good once again :) gearbox is sorted, replaced it with the shorter ratio 4efe box.

The old one has leaked all its oil sumwere :S and thats wat caused it to break.

On a plus note, raced my cousin in his 1.3 4efe Corolla last night, and before the engine transplant he always had the edge over me, and well lets just say he was in my rear quarter all the way :(

Just had a read through this build thread, love it :D My friend used to have the same decals on his Celica.

cheers ryan, yeh its good :( like i said, went up against my cousin in his corolla with a 4e, and i was infront all the way and was slowly pulling away :D which made me smile because wen i had the 4e it was the other way round

Looking good! I really want a set of those shocks now! What springs are you using, and did you replace the top mounts? I had an advisory for my top mounts last MOT but I can only seem to find them quite expensive online :(

@Amjad, not sure what springs they are tbh, they were on the car when i got it and all the paint has come off them now, all i know is they are lowereing springs, not sure what make. and no i didnt replace the top mounts as they seemed in good condition. and as you say new ones are quite expensive and after forking out for the shocks i couldnt afford them too.

@starletsportif, the 5e makes suchs a difference. it feels much more responsive and picks up that bit quicker, as for top end, there isnt much difference as im running a 4e gearbox which i believe has shorter ratios than the 5e box.
