That's not because it's a DC2, it's because you bought a 10+ year old lemon :p Could you not source a second hand G/B that doesn't have a munched synchro?

:p

As I said at the meet, it was fine on the 3 test drives he took me on and I made him go through all the gears and it was fine. Crunch occurs above 40mph going into 5th and we were doing a lot more than that speed.

Just utter bad luck. You live and learn, but even if I come to sell I will just break her as a fully rebuilt gearbox should be worth a pretty penny. But that is a mad thought :D

Well I've edited my other post now, I removed the 4 odd minute video I first uploaded and I've put my second 10 minute one up, since i figured out how to shorten it and make it a more manageable size. Enjoy the V8 thunder! ...although I never really put my foot down, I don't really want to rev it much with exhaust gasses blowing right out the side of my engine/manifold.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_AMEldi3p-M ...some great sound under gentle acceleration at 5:58 :)

...believe me when I say you do not realise how loud it is on the recording, it just doesn't seem that loud when I watch it back, but it is, so loud it was vibrating the casing on my camera and my dash at certain points in the rev range.

Hahahaha.. Outstanding :D

You're blatantly loving it, giggling away like a schoolgirl... :D

Sounds fantastic :cool:

Is it down on power at all?


Ad, I'll get the image sent to you later :)
 
Can't believe that wasn't over 3,000 rpm. It sounds epic, you know you should keep it like that :D

Do you have access to a decibel meter or an iPhone? Could be interesting to measure it at full chat..

Please go above 3000 rpm wanna really hear what it sounds like :D
 
Well I can't get this sorted before Easter so it's going to be like this until some time next week, so I will see what I can do.

I can't leave it like that, it's too loud, as I said many times so far, the video doesn't really give you the proper impression of how loud it really is, also it'd fail it's MOT in a months time :p ...I have been looking into Magnaflow catback systems though, there happens to be a Magnaflow dealer quite close to wear I live, a lot of the US V8 crowd use them and they seem pretty damn good at reasonable prices.

twoblacklines: that exhaust valve setup looks pretty nifty indeed ...I think I'd save stuff like that until I get a 'proper' muscle car though really.

I ran out of cylinders when it pulled away. I should have done a Mitshi Evo style over take at the crossroads

It certainly takes some skill to nearly stall due to a "grabby" clutch and then pass some battered defender at the last minute in the wrong lane :o;)

Lol what happened? :p

We were stuck behind some slow tosspiece in a battered defender and reached a crossroads with two lanes - straight ahead/left turn and a right filter. Right filter lane was empty and I had a skin full of caffeine and zero patience by then.

Went to pull away sharply and cut in, but bogged down instead, luckily Land Rover driver was mincing about like a fart in a trance, so managed to pick up and cut back in.

Naughty boy.

P.S. Totally gutted that i forgot to ask for a passenger ride in the hairdresser-wagon Howard. Next time Hannibal, next time.

Was this at some traffic lights out side a pub?
