Yup Harold is who I used to get it from. Royal purple engine oil back then too. Probably ~ 6 orders total.

Cheers man

I will be ordering Redline stuff first thing tomorrow. Going to be a bit different and go with 2 litres of lightweight shockproof and 1 litre of superlight so that I get best of both worlds. Hopefully it fixes the issue.

Also.....not the clearest of photographs but the car has come a long way

Looks nice and clean, the wide guards realy add to it.

My potent mix has rocked up. Massive thank you to Harold at PerformanceLub for his time, advice and prompt service. Highly recommended.

Flashback Tuesday.......

[jez NF]

So finally got around to doing the second gearbox oil change two days ago.....

Did it through the shifter hole this time as I now know exactly how much goes in.

RESULTS

First start up and drive around - This was immediately after putting the oil in. Shifted into reverse and first beautifully. Second was still hard to put into and notchy. Got nice and smooth when warm as usual.

Second day of driving - This was on the way back from work this evening. Went into second with a tiny bit of grinding for the first three four shifts. Then felt really good with slight stiffness but no grinding or obstruction.

It seems to be getting better but I refuse to be happy till it gets really good - so I will keep monitoring for a week......thanks to everyone who recommended Redline as you are right so far - it would be easy to say "should have gone with Redline" but then again hindsight is a wonderful thing.

Only one small grind this arvo.....shes getting there boys

[Borci88]

If it's grinding then it's grinding, Redline does not FIX synchro problems it only HIDES synchro problems. You're synchros are stuffed and unfortunately Redline is only a bandaid fix. I run Redline in mine and it did help the problem, but 10 months later and it's gotten worse so the next step is a rebuild or replacement.

[jez NF]

Yeah I know.....I am hoping for and if it gets me past xmas I will be a very happie chappie....house deposit time around then so I dont want any big expenses at the moment. Just happy its not prominent anymore to be honest

[jez NF]

Okay I am now a Redline fanboy. Has started to really work well and gear changes are a lot smoother than before. Would seriously recommend it to anyone starting to experience gearbox woes.

In other news......had a play with the editing software on my phone

What ever happened with that big fark-off wing you had made?

[10 4]

I told you so... sigh

and yeah, where's the wing? It needs to be on the car.

Along with a rear diffuser..

Wing ---> rear diffuser ---> then racetrack

No racetrack K-Dawg.......passenger on board !!

Have nothing new to report really......I have been slacking off on the car build for now as I am in saving mode but I am still very motivated so there is no need to panic.

Been building random "jap stuff" for myself in the meantime.......all for the big ass garage at the new place !!

Picked up this bit of whiteboard from Bunnings the other day

Got out my paint pens and put my artistic skills (or lack of them - lol) to good use....

Few nails later....ta da....a cool personalized tool storage thingo for my basic tools; which will be mounted on the garage wall !!

Looks like a two year old was let loose but ah well....I am proud of it...hahaaa
