Yeah, I've thought about that. Realistically, I'd need both cars at the same time, not to mention the space to do it. I will own a white R34 GTR one day Marko. The whale needs a play mate .

Lol. I don't want two deadens on my books

*looks at his busted gearset* lolHave you done any?

How do you feel spending $17,000 of my own money. Jerk : P.

I honestly don't belt it through gates that hard.

I'll "turn it down" to its minimum. 420 on gate pressure with 98. . Might have to turn the controller on and soften the gain up. Haha

A stock one will be going in soon, that count?

It's a bit rough, but I Spose they're not going to have $200,000 worth of cash sitting there on shelves. That money could be earning money elsewhere. Either way, it is what it is. We will just have to suck it up

Ahh, what good valving is worth

How soft do they ride too! I went for a bit of a splat in Ash's car when he had them in his. Highly recommended.

I realise the banks don't care, they're only after one thing and it aint your well being. I realise the extra *whatever amount* is a drop in the ocean but then you're paying interest on that amount for the life of the loan. I don't know about you, but I don't want to be paying a gearbox off in 15 years time. lol. It's the banks money which you're paying back. Redrawing for stuff like extensions (when renting it out) or to purchase shares, yep totally, as that's tax deductible. To pull out for a gearbox, you'd have to have rocks in your head. Hurry up and screw some boost into yours will ya

But atleast you're throwing away your own money, not the banks. The car ain't going anywhere. It can sit under a cover in the garage for all I care - will not be sold.

I won't be borrowing anything from anyone. I consider that a no no, personally. Next thing there will be OS 3.15 litres and 4 inch titanium exhausts. Haha. I'll just sock a bit away each week.

That's the problem! It's not exactly $1,000. Those that are serious, maybe try and sort out a group buy and see what prices we can get? Pick your ratios and go. I myself, won't be ready for a little while, but by the looks of things, the other guys are in the same boat. I only wish I got some video's yesterday. I was trying to take it all in. Dammit!

How often would you change your final drive though man? You have a 3.0, you don't need a gearbox let alone final drive ratios. Haha

Rightio. I had the pleasure of going for a little squirt yesterday in the absolutely epic car. It wasn't a long drive, it was enough to get the feel for the OS88 in it. Absolutely sold. Definitely not as "agricultural" as what I would have imagined. The first thing that struck me was how quiet and tame it is while idling. No "grump grump, lots of overlap, big cam crap" going on, just a smooth as factory idle. The noise that was coming out of the exhaust wasn't that much louder than a factory car also. Pulls well from down low but you can tell its just screaming to be wound up. 15 psi, its not even trying. The level of detail is second to none, anyone that has looked over this car would attest to that. Thanks again for your time Bob, you didn't have to do that. You have just spent $16,000 or so of my money.

From what Bob was saying, the holinger doesn't like more than 800 HP (not saying I'm at 800 HP). It's also straight cut. Quaife - 750 hp Modena - not sure Albins - straight cut Being a "street" car, I don't want to wear ear plugs while driving the damn thing. That's not what it's about. It doesn't matter what way I/we go, none of the options are cheap. Even the cheapest option of the PPG 1-4 helical dog set will be the best bit of $7,000 by the time it's all done.

Bobcat has bought some aftermarket shifter but it's not completed yet. He just simply clutched in and pulled the lever, next gear and away we go! When Marcus got a quote for me, the guy that did my head suggested/recommended the OS88 straight away, $$$ being the problem. The issue is, as BigMicky said earlier, the standard casing only allows so much physical gear size, limiting strength. I know I'm repeating myself but the level of street ability and user friendliness surprised me. I thought it would have been as agricultural as a John Deer tractor.

Weren't in it long, Charlie. I didn't want to start inviting half of SAU when Bob went well and truly out of his way already. As I said, very very impressed. Slick, quick, effortless, quiet and no fuss. Bob even slowed down and stopped at a set of lights in 4th gear. He clutched in and pushed the lever up and selected 1st. No noise, nothing. Let the clutch out and away we went.

Haha!!!! You can't sell that, the head got sold!

Wtf?

Nah, got final house inspection.

Haha! Actually, no beers tonight. Gotta save them up for tomorrow
