How do the gearboxes cope with the added rear wheel drive traction?

I need to change the gearbox on my crx and that has 130k on it.

Further down the list, need the new rear frame/suspension first then I may consider them, Im sure I will get some air time with slicks right on the verge Now.

The gearbox so far has been good, I gave it a full inspect/replaced a couple of bearings when I first put it in the car, I reckon the box was near 90K when I got it and I have put 40K on it at least. It gets regular oil changes and I do show it some respect even on the strip with the nitrous, I am planning on building up my spare as I have all new bearings etc available for it when I get around to it.

Engine is rebuilt and is currently being run in this week. I will be at Avon park for the shootout and it will be at a high level of attack mode one step back from last year to get some shake down runs.

I bet my first wank came quicker than your first mini turbo


These new modern turbos with their quick spool up time, would make the competition harder.

Test and Tune Update 5th/9/10

In short things did not go smoothly.

New Ao48rs fitted so now fully road legal again

Run 1 Nasp 12.91 @ 104.97 up against a friend who has one of the fastest Front wheel drives in the UK
Car felt odd as it launched, and the engine bogged, the only way to describe the feeling was like driving over a speed bump with the front wheel only.

Run 2 Nasp 15.56 @99 mph Aborted launch was good but missed second,

Run 3 Nitrous 13.43 @ 75mph
Car launched well, got 2nd, got 3rd, got 4th, with bangs/flames coming from exhaust on each change I have been told, then engine died with a loud bang :!: I looked im mirrors and could see a good Grey haze behind me, then relised I could smell something and a light haze of smoke apearing in the car, pulled over to the side and looked over my shoulder out the rear window to see Flames coming out the Engine cover just behind my head :!:Made sure all Systems Off while coasting towards the exit road, pulled off and jumped out with my own fire extingusiher and put the fire out, Santa Pod fire marshall did not get to me until after I had already put it out. Opened engine cover to find the Air filter was complettly burned away and smoking nicely out the intake.

Washed down the rear of the car to remove as much of the dry powder as possible and inspected the car.

Replaced the over flow hose that got melted, inspected the wiring loom that was in the flame front, Dad reconstrcuted the airfilter with cotton mutton cloth, While other vitals were checked on the engine before firing up.

Run 4 Nasp 12.81 @ 105.4mph
Test run to check health of engine and nothing wrong there with that time.

Run 5 Nitrous 11.45 @ 125mph 60ft 1.56 :!:
Well the car launched very well, then I missed second then decided stuff it lets give it some beans, I selected second and nailed it. from the datalogs I was off the power for 1 whole second :!: the rest of the run was smooth.

Then time to pack up and head off.

What an eventfull test and tune, Also the odd feeling at launch was diagnosed as............Front wheel lift, I was picking up the front a good couple of inches and there is photographic proof to follow when I buy the picture. I did it on most of the runs!

There is some damage to the engine cover and rear body work from the fire, what is visable should hopefully get away with some extensive polishing, the lip under the engine cover has lost its gel coat, and the Grill over the vent needs repainting and the engine bay needs a little refurb in the airflter area due to fire damage.

For Nic time for donations! *happy*

Due to Full throttle shift behaviour at MITP, I tweaked a Setting and it solved the problem I was hoping but caused a Nitrous Burp, this is where the Nitrous/fuel ignites in the inlet manifold and spat flames out the airfilter setting it alight *surprised* and hence the brown trouser moment.

Fitted a new air filter last weekend and using her as the daily this week so much fun to drive. Might pop to Pod again this weeeknd I want my 10.99!

A 10 may have to do West. *hehe!* No 99's at Santa Pod anymore it would seem *frown*

If something is worth doing, it's worth doing half of.
