got the box in, made up a gearbox crossmember from 150x6mm plate and some 40x8mm plate, its well strong, got a sheet of thick insertion rubber between the box and bracket to add insulation.

also filled it up with oil and ran it through the gears. see video

testing and comp done and dusted, took some getting used to driving with a sequential as when you enter a corner fast and go to downchange to say 2nd the natural reaction is to move the gearstick across and back down,.. well of course this does nothing in a sequential haha. once i overcame that and got my head around it.. was f**king awesome... oh and the sound... sounds like a nest full of angry wasps on crack.

heres some vids for you all.

its actually far from perfect or easy to drive.. the car has so much rear grip that with even shitty china tyres it just wants to grip up all the time.. changing a few things atm along with alignment to help out. Also ditched the BC ER coils for some locally made SHOCKWORKS coilovers to be able to set it up the way i want, then it should be a dream to drive!

Decided I wanted to develop the handling of the car a lot more because I'm planning on doing some grip events also. I wanted coilovers that I could get with local support and built to my specs. Shockworks came to the party and offered everything I was after. I said goodbye to the faithful bc coils and got these today! Can't wait to put them in and see how they go

    • This piece is obscenely discontinued. I honestly hate the frameless window design because the rubber gets stressed and the guides as well every time you open and close the door.
    • I wouldn't be concerned at all, other than to suggest having them flow tested when you receive them to confirm they are reasonably similar, and then put the highest to lowest flowing ones in cylinder 6,1,5,2,4,3
    • I’m only posting this cause I thought I had seen a bad review on these somewhere before. Any feedback? Would you guys recommend that if I do buy these I send em to RC to have em checked before installing. Or any other suggestions?   https://www.ebay.com/itm/114009965865?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=JDl-15yLQ8C&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=QTzlFXB1S-S&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY
    • They see me rollin' they hatin'....... Took me most of the day to make the necessary mods to the mounts to make them fit the car.  Fortunately I was able to just use the mounts that came with the rotisserie. The rear ones are really secure, the front I feel i might reinforce a bit more as it doesn't seem like enough attachment to the vehicle. I'm sure it's fine but better to be safe than (extremely...) sorry.  I drilled and tapped thread into additional M12 holes to each car mount where it attaches to the rotisserie as an extra fail-safe. Without them the side to side movement is just restricted by the allen head pinch bolts, nothing actually goes though the beam. Does now! I still need to adjust the rotisserie to get the car centred in terms of centre of gravity. If it's too high or too low relative to the rotational centre line of the car, it will be like a turtle and roll onto its back or as it currently sits, I dont think I'd be able to rotate it as it sits as it needs to lift the whole car up as it rotates. Ain't happening... I'm going to be nervous as hell the first time I go to spin it on its side...
