peteretep Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 You need to be prepared for these things when stroking the top of the podium eh? Team Retep Racing better be back on the road asap. Fully prepared fo sho Just got the car back today, stank like 5 day old wets clothes because of all the 5 day old wet clothes engine will come out on the weekend for geebox change Then it will be ready for the race car driver again Was entirely happy with how it went over the weekend reliability and handling wise, it starts better than it ever did before modifying it and is happy as travelling at 100kph all day whilst giving pretty reasonable economy. I think I now need more OS meets to go to all over the country, and im prettty keen to explore the south island at some point this year hopefully, although likely after the shitty winter months as low 2wd cars dont really llike heavy snow fall/ice.

Brock-Lee Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 We were laughing about the smell at pinkys last night. No transport damage to your super fast car? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peteretep Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 haha yeah it will need a few days to clear that up.

RUNAMUCK Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 Make sure you pull apart the broken gearbox, and post pictures of the broken parts in the "offerings to the god of speed" thread. I'd like to know why it was making that hidoues noise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peteretep Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 yeah man for sure, was certainly a funny noise Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peteretep Posted May 14, 2011 Share Posted May 14, 2011 I have taken the gearbox out, all but a couple of the teeth off 2nd gear have been removed, the rest of the gearbox looks ok. If you were really desperate you could remove all the bits then keep using it. lucky im not that desperate. ill post up some pics when I get it out of the gearbox as its too hard to get a pic now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RUNAMUCK Posted May 15, 2011 Share Posted May 15, 2011 ^this! At NZDatsun we have a "hardluck" trophy for our biggest annual meet. 1st year it went to a guy who parked it's car on it's roof being a muppet, and last year to a guy who blew his head gasket.
