Hi
Been out at Castle Combe today and had awesome fun slip sliding around in the snow in the Nova!
Anyways, the gearbox is on it's way out, 3rd gear synchro is pretty non existant and 4th gear is following on suit.
We ideally want a slightly longer final drive or 4th gear, as changing up into 5th 100m or so before Avon Rise was a waste of time, but keeping it pinned in 4th meant it hit limiter at 117 mph.
How would we go about getting a longer 4th? Is there a box out there that will fit straight on that has a longer final drive or anything? Would diesel boxed be any good? Sorry, I'm not up together on which boxes fit and which don't!
Cheers
Dan :)
P.S This is what happens when you let me lose in a redtop Nova on ice...
