Ay up mate,

Don't have anymore gray gearboxes mate, the black ones are supposed to be able to sustain higher temps and be a better material all round.

About the milled ones, I'm waiting for some news on them very quickly, I really want to get these out asap, but of course I'll need a sample first and to do some testing on it so it won't be immediate either.

Still waiting on a new batch of black cases, atm I have none left

Dufty....

The Black gearbox case you have is the NEW one, the grey one is the oldish one (hence the glue etc)

The car is real good and with some great results to prove that.
It is too planted for me though.
I raced it at 3 meetings only

Can you guys stop hijacking the thread? Do you see me hijacking other RB5 conversion threads to talk about my own? No! So please don't do it here

Right guys I want to let you all know that I am aware of the issues with the latest batch of gearboxes, and the fact that I can't get any spares, and that I am working on a permanent fix to this. I'm hoping to make an anouncement in the next couple of weeks about it, I just want it to be 100% sure first.

Where is the highjacking?
I can only assume you ment me and my comment? And I thought we were mates.
Explanation-
Lowie asked why Tonys conversion only was for sale and I speculated another????? Problem being?????? And the car in question is nothing to do with me it's my bro's little project.

Rebel, last I heard Tony was running another mid RB5 conversion but not the Vega.

Leave Fab alone in this thread, he worked, and is still doing so, damn hard on the MCS and nobody can say it's not performed well for those it suits. As he said, don't see us making comments on the Vega thread about the alternatives, hardly fair IMHO.

Grow up all of you!
As I have not highjacked this thread or had a pop at anyone!
I just speculated that he might be buying another conversion! Big deal ( toy car)
Fabs is a mate and know how hard he has worked but that's the same for everyone
Roger I think you are a bit hypocritical considering your sig
If both of your conversions are so good then why be so hyper -sensitive? You have nothing to worry about!
I even wished luck Roger
With new cars coming from nearly all 2wd major manufacturers that offer mid and rear in one car/ box/ price
They all need luck
Cheers
