i bough the biggest cover i could find from a motor factor, put it on and went away for a month or so....
came back and the corners of my wing had ripped through and the cover had left scratches all over the car. bad times
never again

cheers jurgen, i saw the r35 too, looking mint as ever!

it goes in when it wants to, more often than not but theres always a crunch there. the only time it wont is at standstill with engine on or off??

lol naaa its not that bad jus hard getting 5th!
checked all the obvious points...oil,mounts etc all kushdee so looks like a syncro fault. GAY

i have a 98 fd
was driving earlier and as i went to put it into 5th gear (normal driving speed) it really didnt want to go in.
  carried on and when i got to my destination i tried at standstill with the engine running and engine off and it still wasnt going into 5th.
as i was driving back home then i tried again and it went in with a VERY LIGHT crunch. worked all the way home then.(wth a very light crunch every time)
  i tried again then when i got home and it wouldnt go in again.
  every other gear is fine which seems a bit odd.
can ayone shed any light on this or had anything similar
 
as far as the car is concerned its a 98spec fd with a few engine mods, standard gearbox with a twin plate clutch,
 
cheers in advance for any suggestions/info:3Confused

that rear strut brace is sexy! you should take it off and make copies of it and sell them!

i must admit it is an absolute work of art and the welds are perfection. i love it.:mmmm

cheers for the comments, glad you all like it!

really good read tis project is.
coming along really nicely and to have done it yourself must take some of the pain off the old engine going so soon!
