Porsche supplied Sequential competetition gearbox in the Tuthill cars. Probably the same box as the RSR race car but with a different set of drop gears and final drive in it

Marginal gains compared to a jenvey system is hasten to guess

Hmm this seems expensive to just lose the shaft, even the dbw conversion on a jenvey isn’t that spendy

Are they roller barrel to loose the shaft? They don’t look like it

What’s so special about them compared to a set of jenveys?

You can get LED light units that are much more compact but they look toss and I wanted to keep the 90s rally aesthetic, so I’m planning on finding some round LED units to mount in them

I wear a balaclava under my helmet every time, purely because otherwise it tries to rip my ears off when I take my lid off

I started trial fitting some bits of the wide arch kit today

Ha, this is mine in the car park behind my house

Just out of interest, what did you have done and how does this stack up against the conversations previously about leasing a new car with buy an older car and budget for maintenance?

Unfortunately no, still quite a lot of fabrication / resto work to do on other areas of the shell. although i am considering getting some outside assistance with that too.

Alfa sud not riddled with tin worm, rarer than a rare thing

which shorts are they?

Will have one piece polycarbonate windows with only cat flaps for openings eventually, might be a squeeze

My car is back from the rollcage fabricators, they’ve done a really great job.

I mocked a seat up in there today and all I can say is it will take some some practice to get in and out

Assuming it’s got some sort of torque converter, not much?

I think you’ve got it right, from what I can see the rest is non-essential.

The engine stuff needs the root cause solving first - you might change that rocker gasket and it’ll just leak again if another issue is to blame

Yeah I was just thinking that - considering it’s both at once is there a breather issue.

I’d get anything essential suspension and braking done this time and the rest as funds allow

£666 for the RMS.

I think that’s a sign

I put 2 tubes, levers and some emergency cash in mine, use it all the time.

It's an impreza underneath

Doesn't have a DPF and doesn't need regenerating then.

They're yanking your chain, so to speak

Yeah i did mean to add that the rest of what happened is a shocker and no real excuse, i just meant that that can be in some cases a way to regen a DPF.

It could also be a generic out of the box excuse they pull up in this scenario

What they say about the carbon cleaning process isn't far from wrong assuming your car is fitted with a DPF and a diesel, it is one way to force them into "regen"
