As some of you may remember my box shat itself on the way home after a w/bank wednesday night.
I ran a 14.01 however, so I was pissed but happy.
Blokes pulled the box out and there is a big, dirty massive hole in the side of it.
I'm suprised it drove for the amount of time it did after I heard it go.
Either way box fitted is going to set me back $900ish and he's going to do a CV boot and take a look at my handbrake for me which doesnt actually engage. I'm sitting on about 3k atm.
Should drop down to about 1k after rego goes on etc. I have already bought parras. Car is already sitting pretty on rims, etc. I was thinking of putting a Diamante GDI grill and a TF front bar on her. Does anyone know at a general price on a front bar respray?

Will post pics when I get it back from the grease monkey.

why a TF front?
go TH, looks better, and you can add a VRX kit, if you want to later on

Well I will indeed go TH because I have just purchashed a GE lip.

You can get a decent paint place to spray a front bar for less than $400, that includes prep, prime and paint.

Cheers mate.

i just fitted a new TH front bar. all up it came to $370 (paint + new bar from mits) and fitted it myself

What is the gearbox auto or manual and $900 is that for a second hand one?

Auto, second hand unit fitted.

$900 seems pretty pricey for a second hand box! I'm assuming it's a reco one?

Fitted price sounds reasonable I guess.

Box was like $400.
I got quoted $300 from another joint however they didnt have any in stock.
Getting ****ed around at the moment.
Mechanic did a CV boot for me which I was fine with.
Went to fix the handbrake but they have not got him the part yet so I told him not to worry about it and I'll take a look at it this weekend myself since I want the car back today otherwise it has to sit at the wreckers until tuesday (public holiday and weekend). They better sort it out and get the car back today before 4.30 or I'm not going to be too happy.
