braveheart Posted April 18, 2008 Share Posted April 18, 2008 As you may be aware i was selling my baby, due to garage space and only being able to drive the car 3 months a year...and a second child on the way.. Things changed dramaticly over the last month, I left the long haired Genral in charge of selling the car (The Wife) a certain Gentleman came all the way up from Norwich to view the car on intension of buying it. My wife and brother in law showed him around the car and showed him all documentation ect and then the test drive....once he returned to the house he said he i will take it he started counting out the cash as my wife was telling me this 'I felt a bit sick' sad i know.... 'Amie then said' i couldnt do it she told the man that she could not sell the car he said PARDON 'Amie said' I cant sell my husbands car im so sorry for the inconvience this has caused you and offered him his travell expences for him and his friend which he kindly accepted and gave him a 10 pound for a pint....to be honest with the way she spoke the lad understood which was a good feeling. I could not believe it i thought to my self ya beuty lol need to get her pregnant more often if this is how the Hormones are working.. On a long conversation with her on the fone i then convinced her on the next stage and granted my wishes,I Spoke to Andy F on the conversion and he put me in touch with a guy Steve Whitson i spoke to him on the next step up and the 2.5 conversion I know this lad was good and knew his onions as he put the PPG Straight cut box in my car. So finally after nearly selling my car i have now ended up with the final phase to be completed. So in the next couple of weeks the car will be off the road for the goodies to be installed and after that unleash hell lol Good things happen to those who waits. Chris Link to comment

braveheart Posted April 18, 2008 Author Share Posted April 18, 2008 Much did that cost you? PPG Steel fork kit PPG 1st to 4th straight cut Gasket Set 4th gear syncro and any other bits i have missed Up graded the read diff i beleive out an sti ver 5 and the other parts to go with it 4 grand that's without labour. Not too sure of exact price unless i check the receipts however the gear box is good for 700 bhp and sounds amazing..and fitted the exeddy twin plate clutch thats not included in the price. Hope that helps Link to comment
uRaBu5 Posted April 18, 2008 Share Posted April 18, 2008 Glad your keeping the car! Watched it getting built as mine was in at the same time. Glad it is all up and running as I know you had a few problems too. Sure the 2.5 is a huge step and i’m sure the guys at SW will get it well sorted as you only have to look at Higgy’s to see what they can do! Good luck Derek Link to comment
