Had some great fun yesterday in the very nice Welsh sunshine.
http://youtu.be/E1LDEf6TGyoCar was going very well....right up to the point the gearbox gave up. Mission now is to get the gearbox fixed before next weekend (Crystal Palace and Goodwood!).

...but I thought your set-up was "kind to transmissions" ?
Sorry, couldn't resist and you did mock my "little engine" last week.

It is kind to transmissions....the BGH E8 is marginal on this much torque....and I think I may have run low on oil in the gearbox as well...

I do not believe that any type 9 box modified or not not will take over 270bhp for long. Once you get to this point you need at least a dog box.
