okay my first event in car since it was built was a few weeks back. i was up against chris keogh and while waiting to go out he asked what gearbox i was using and i said std for now he laughed and said that wont last so i was telling him ive never broke a box and 2 min later coming out i broke 3rd gear.so much for boasting

so in with another to keep me going and damn short shifter up in bischopcourt kept going back to 1st rather than 3rd,the next day messing at home,another box bites the dust,
bought my TRUST 6 speed dog box and brakes that before i get to track so thats getting repaired with new internals.
friend of mine gave an os giken gear kit box at a price i couldnt refuse here my latest casualty and after 3 laps here ya go
