    Well, I finally got some time to bed in the clutch & take the old banger for a spin.

    The old diesel 4spd ratios weren't half bad with the NA's 276TT cammed setup, but with the turbo.....

    diesel ratios are 1st & 2nd are close then a long jump to 3rd with a short jump into 4th


    So now it will light the tyres up just about where ever & when ever it feels in 2nd, whereas before it would still light them up, but would power on through to nearly 100. It was the power gear!

    Now with the shorter ratio, its all over & done with much early & you have to shift into a far away 3rd & bogs down for a split second & then away it goes again.

    Coming home it spun up in 3rd through a corner, so its still not tall enough that it can't break traction in 3rd pushing 100!


    Will have to deal with it until the next gearbox failure!

    Bordom has been kicking lately with this car so I thought I'd add something for stupidity & laughs.

    Behold.

    Garfield!

    My nephew & niece love it. Even though they don't actually know who Garfield is!




    Also removed the stock wheel chrome centre caps for a more conservative base model black cap. I like it, but its a bit more of a pain to clean.

    But much better than cleaning the old Ronal R8's & Porsche wheels






    Oh nearly 25K on the turbo setup & "still" going strong too! hahaha.

    Cheers dude.

    Yeah, I still get a laugh out of driving it.

    Most drivers don't even give it a 2nd glance. But I did take off from some lights to have a P-Plater almost snap his neck when he turned around looking for the car with the BOV! Then he nailed it to prove a point that his car was faster, which I got a laugh out of cause he nearly ran into the car in front of him! hahaha

    Although with winter coming up & more & more rain, its becoming more of a hazard than a enjoyment but being my daily, I have to put up with it. Suprised wheel spin at 100 in the wet really wakes you up!
