the time of failure doesn't always mean that's when the damage was done. Tis unusual though, the hawk wrx box's are pretty strong, i ran over 400ftlb for a good 14 months no issues.

i was sat on the side of the mountain on the isle of mann when mine went hahaha, worse places to break down though,

depends on how bad the box had gone, mine locked up most of the gears and even with the clutch down still wouldn't free wheel and that was only when i stripped 3rd gear clean of all its teeth lol

0/450 not much extra milage this week so far, been using the volvo

pointless as well tbh. If its to warm it up you wanna start it and drive off steady for a few miles, sat with engine running doesn't allow the heat to circulate properly or heat up oil in other things like diff and gearbox

So first 500 done :D Oil change today and another 500 to go, done 30 so far lol Today swapped out the faded seats for some in much better nick. Last week when it fired up it kicked out some blue smoke so looks like the turbo is knackered so new one will go on, prob sc32 for silly spool or sc36. I have a new age top mount that's already converted to fit a classic that will go on it. Just need to do the next 500 and then get it booked in for mapping :D 0/470 :D

first oil change done :D

you wanna go see the doctor about that,,,,,,, o sorry slap, not clap,,,, hahahaha

unless your going to scandinavia and temps are going -30 then why bother?

im up there tomorrow for an oil change so if you wanna head up for a look see and a tour then no bother, no obligation to buy anything, although i highly recommend the pork pies hahaha

when a proper remap take 100+ pulls on the dyno how good do you think map will be with just a single one? get it looked at properly mate

Stay away from cobb, its a plug and flash thing, bad bad move. Get it up to clinic for a health check as a starting point then go form there. No point in spending money for stuff you dont need.

scoobyclinic are pretty close mate (chesterfield), be a much better bet. run it down to em and get em to run a health check on it

welcome

welcome :)

haha ok dude

are the revs spiking up? bit like this

even clinic arn't sure who lol

what tyres are on it?

Being a full rebuild unless they are only a few months old, cambelt, tensioners etc etc tbh sounds liek they are doing a cheap job, ask for your money back and walk away

that one? or this one?

which car? colour that is and i can prob tell you lol

sc36 ;)

ticked the counter over to 40miles to first oil change :D
