Meh. Get to use my nice smelling "tyre dressing" hehehe.Gearbox is feeling a tad nicer. Still copped a few massive shifts but not as many as yesterday. Funny thing is it felt really good when I gave it a bit of a flogging...it's light throttle that really produces the clunks. She just loves being driven hard I guess. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is, a Nizpro flex plate, ARP bolts and they machined the pistons to fit in extra clutch packs (plus fluid and filter change). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More chance I'll break something properly! I can always just find a happy dyno I think if the turbo were to die I'd chuck a gtx in. Probably 3576r for the mad spool.

Feels good to be driving again, except for the wicked bang into gear as mentioned. Here's the piccies! I think I can see the missing bolt he mentioned. Trust Ford to make eleventy billion changes mid production...meh.Sweet!Think the missing bolt is visible here, on the leftFrom the frontDriving it home I tried to change gears heaps, like in the constant 80 zone going from 4th to 5th to 4th every few seconds for example. That particular sequence I felt smooth up nicely. Shifts out of third are a bit hectic at the moment, reminds me of the feeling of Grug's tuned ZF a couple years ago but worse! Interesting Mr Turboboink that you say it will never be as smooth as stock, I'm still on factory ZF tune so fingers crossed it gets back to 95% or so. I'd be happy with 80% smoothness as it is 20% stronger now and that means burrrnnnnoutttssss hahaha. For warming up tyres at the plex.Fitted my cooler today. The kit is obviously based on FG as it doesnt fit exacly right. For starters FG and BF sumps are different. Doesnt matter I sorted it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm yet to get under there and have a proper look at the missing bolts but that seems like the go. So the FG sump is wider there and allows it to bolt right up it seems.Oh update on the trans, it's now shifting quite nicely in all except the 2 to 3 shift. That was the worst and is about 80% "recovered" from the memory of worn clutch packs though so no longer has a big bang into gear. Feels great giving it real stick! I swear the harder I drive it, the faster it gets used to the new bits. Have gone about 400km. Edited 27/10/13 12:49 AM by -SteveR- 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
