TOMMYS Ke 11 Posted July 15, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 15, 2013 Hi there ! Thanks Jimi our identity has now been revealed :harhar: and yes it was a great morning :yes: especially having a good look at PEACHES in the metal as it is way better than the photos (great job :2thumbs: ). Thomas little rolla made the trip down and back with only one little hiccup we decided to have a look at the Gasoline Muscle car show and it ran up a bit hot in traffic :hmm:so we parked it for a while walked to the show (bloody great show) got back to his car and didn't miss a beat all the way home :hail: and the economy was even better than last trip :) .

Trip down to Melbourne and back Saturday :rolla: , Pulled cover plates of Sunday morning cleaned inside and out fitted back in car :) , then had to drive it down to Bendigo and drop of for Thomas not a bad way to spend the weekend :hmm:not like i had anything better to do for the weekend but as i said it was a 30+ year old gear box that was built to handle say 60+ rwhp :n: and is now having 110 rwhp :y: going through it so i suppose something has to give :oops: but anyway just wanted to say another BIG thank you to STU (thanks mate) and all is good again :2thumbs: .

rolla van man Posted August 6, 2013 Report Share Posted August 6, 2013 Can't believe you drove that far for a gearbox! Hahah very motivated! Haha good to hear she is back in one piece mate! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TOMMYS Ke 11 Posted August 8, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 8, 2013 Hi there Leighroy ! i don't know about being motivated or just plain crazy 8/ but sometimes you just do what you have to do :yes: . It now looks like we may have to find something a bit better in the clutch department as it is now slipping under load :down: we are already running the Exceedy sprorts tuff clutch which i thought would have been sufficient (Anyone have any suggestions ?) :hmm: . How did you get on with the brackets for your rear brakes? i hope they work out for you :2thumbs: . Cheers:- Stuart (Thomas dad) :wave: .

Taz_Rx Posted August 8, 2013 Report Share Posted August 8, 2013 Exedy also do a button clutch. That's what I have behind mine and has held over 120-130kw Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
