Looks like there's a bracket coming off the back of the gearbox that's then attached to the steady?

Those alloy bits round the middle of the steady are spacers man. Take them off if you like :(

I know, they're on there, so I know where they are. Thinking of making something different for the gearbox and slapping the titanium one in the top.



Updates are slow because i've moved back to uni and not got internet access at my new house yet.
I log on with my phone to have a nose around occasionaly but thats about it.


Nothings realy happened with the car apart from buying a metro turbo crank. Vini sorted me out with some oil cooler pipes for it so i can fit my 1275gt cooler.

It's also booked into a trackday on the 23rd, so will go home at some point to do some work to it, change gearbox etc.

My airfilter is held together with tape at the moment aswell.



Student loan comes in soon, i think i might be purchasing some megajolt type things.



Oh and 998s are still slow.

Got nearly everything to turbo it now. Just some intercooler pipes and fuel pipe to buy.

So will build up a strong engine to take the boost and finaly bolt it together.


My student loan went straight away paying off some money i owed and paying for new house etc.


So skint at the moment. So not much progress with it.

This is the only thing i've got to make it lighter for the moment:
