Here is a photo from spa francorchamps

The car behaves perfectly, is neutral and confidence inspiring on high-g turns (1.7g) as well as braking.
I started the day doing 2:57 in heavy traffic while discovering the track. Then when I started to attack... the gearbox broke down :-/

It wasted my day, and even more since i need 7 hours road to to there (and 7 hours to come back).
I have the money, but I do not have much time to lose. I can't just waste a weekend for those issues, so I have decided to focus on reliability.
I could tune down the horsepower, but I got addicted, so that not an option.
Hemce I've decided to get a forged engine from bluemoon performance and a sequential gearbox with straight cut gears, either samsonas, quaife or hollinger.

That's quite the extreme solution, I know, but if it is what it takes for not wasting weekends...
