the gearbox has always been a bit sick, changing 2nd to 3rd had a pretty bad delay, and i guess old age. done 220 000ish kms, i noticed it the past week it was a 'jerky sort of ride' and then in the storm the other nite driving home she started slipping pretty bad :(, found a 2nd hand box im getting it today 90 000km its done and its 300 bux :) just have to wait a few weeks to pay sum1 to fit it

that storm was crazy as hey dude...i was trying to study for an exam i had the next day and the power cut out..i had to read using candles for light, it was ****ed...

i think during next year, the next mod/project is, getting another motor, getting it rebuilt and then getting a supercharger :), itll probably take me all year but itll be worth it :)

did not get far in saving.. the motor died last nite, pulled up set of lights, it was running rough as, dropped a cylinder, and makes some weird metalic noises, gonna get a low km v6 motor, put my heads on it (if they are still ok) and then get a cam and chip package.. its gonna take some time coz im pretty much broke :S
