This broke about 3 months ago and I never got round to fixing it, made the exhaust knock, engine hit things, and almost impossible to get 2nd and 5th gear. So fixed that, and now its sooooo much better.
So tore this terrible mess of a thing out.
Made this.
Welded this in, will repaint my floor soon. And bolted in a Corsa C gear selector, the selector rod is now completely straight. Its soooooooooo much better. The gearstick falls right to hand sitting around 6 inches further back than before, its alot tighter and more accurate. Wish i'd done this 6 months ago. I've often gone from 4th to 3rd instead of 5th and put massive revs on the engine, so now I can't get over how good it is!! The rose joints I put in the linkage earlier are now showing their use.
I highly recommend vauxhall conversions to use the later low mileage gear selector and rose joints.
Also made a new exhaust mount for the new beam, so that doesn't rattle like it used to.
It's had two new tyres on it and i fitted some longer studs to the rear hubs, so now I'm alot more confident throwing it around, and everything is just better!!!!
I've got to adjust my seats tomorrow as they're currently upright and not very comfortable. Might even fit my carpet set and front section of my rollcage tomorrow. All ready for its first trackday on saturday.
Still blue.
