    This car has a leaking rear main seal. Out comes the gearbox again. =___=

    I'll probably replace the clutch while it's out as I don't think drier roads are going to be quite as forgiving on it. Need to do some work fine tuning all the cranking and cold temp settings as it's a bit temperamental to start and runs super rich when it does start, haha. Does mad second gear skids in the wet though. Had a cop roll past from behind about 10 seconds after said accidental skid and didn't even bat an eyelid. I love this car.

    Ok, so that video may be on hold for a few weeks. I'm thinking I might get the head rebuilt while all of this is out of the bay again, since the valve seals are a bit suspect and it's due for a timing belt in 10k anyway, so I'm erring towards just fixing it all for good and not having to bugger with it again. Bottom end is still alright though, so I'll just replace the crank seals and re-do the sump.

    Yeah, I've got everything pretty much sorted and accounted for, so all is good. I've seen the shop before and had a browse. Thanks anyway though.

    Hopefully I'll have the motor out and the head off by the end of tomorrow so I can take it in on Monday to get rebuilt and the flywheel machined and grab the seal for the gearbox at the same time. Clutch should be in early this coming week so with any luck it'll be all back together by the end of next week and I'll be ripping unintentional skids all over the place. Funtimes.

    Everything is out and ready to go off to the shop. Pulled the gearbox apart after getting oil everywhere and got the input shaft seal out, so I can pick up a new one on the way back from the engine shop and put the box back together and tidy it up a little.

    Looks like it gets a pretty fat air-stall down low, hopefully that free flowing exhaust you've got planned will fix her up.
