Shame to see you're selling, I would have loved to seen it at some meets.

GLWTS - make sure it goes to a good home!

No didn't see the flash, only noticed you last second. Looked nice from what i did see ðŸ‘

Saw a gunmetal HR waiting to go round the roundabout by the pier yesterday evening at about half 6

I went round down to madeira drive in my yellow GT4

Anyone on here?

Does the Pug 106 gti use the same box? I think the engines are the same.

They do indeed, but seem quite hard to come by.

All 106/saxo boxes will fit, it's just the ratio's that are different.

Since the saxo is supposed to be my daily I have decided to just risk a 2nd hand box from a VTR (despite the looooong ratio's) to get it back on the road and avoid using the zed in this crappy weather

So did anyone go?

How was it?

Unless they are Saxo specialists, then they'd probably recondition your box. Worth a call to find out? Have you tried Saxo forums... If such an ungodly place exists?

They do exist, and as you'd expect it's a bit Maxpower! The suggestions on there pretty much revolve around: "stick a 1.1 box on it m8, shorter ratio's for better 0-60 init"

Although there are some good guys and cars on there it has to be said, especially the track guys

I don't know much about reconditioning gearboxes, but if it has a hole in the side, then surely another box is required?

That's what I'm saying. I am just unsure on whether these reconditioned gearbox places provide you with another gearbox or do they take your existing one and recondition that? (Obviously in my case that is not possible )

Will try ringing a few up in my lunch break, just thought I would ask on here for any recommendations on decent companies

Thanks will try them, from what I have found it should cost ~£350 but not sure whether that's for a box or whether that's for them to recondition my existing box (in which case I don't think it's possible since it has a big hole in the side!) 2nd hand box may be my only choice

I see what you're saying but finding a box is proving to be harder than expected, I know I can fit one from any Saxo but want the correct ratio's for the VTS.

There's a couple about but going for ~£100 and I have had friends who have got 2nd hand boxes that lasted only a couple of months. So for the price of 2-3 2nd hand boxes a re-con seems to make a bit more sense

Hi guys my daily driver (Saxo VTS) decided that it no longer wants one of its cogs, chewed it up and spat it through the casing!

My question is can any of you recommended a decent place to get a reconditioned gearbox?

I have considered getting a used one but unless you see it on another car you don't really know what you're getting until you fit it

This will be the next thing i do to my GT4 too, looks great

I had no choice with the old man being obsessed with any Capri haha

I hope he does but it wouldn't surprise me if it never sees the road again, which is a shame

Last time it was out was about 2 years ago now

Would love a 280T, shame to here it got nicked

A friend of mine has an original Turbotechnics conversion just rusting away in his garage, been trying to persuade him to part with it for ages but he's having none of it

That Capri looks epic. I have been brought up around capri's, my old man has had about 12 over the years. We currently have a 2.8i we are restoring

Great pics!

Very nice car and great colour!

Not that I am biased or anything

Was thinking about it but doubt i'll get time. Need to fix the French tin and sort all my spare parts out

Here's a few I took...

Non Zeds...

Was good to finally meet some of the guys on here. Shame about the weather, surprised that so many people turned up for it. Didn't take many pics but will put a few up later

All dry here in Shoreham, although it has been raining in the night.

Up now so might as well see who else braves the weather. Will be there at 7:15

Weather forecast is looking crap, hope the rain holds off!

That's what I thought about location. I too will def be coming so the list is:

1. ap427

2. terry06

So who's actually going and up for meeting before? (At MacDonalds PO19 7WT)

Think we should create a list so we know who's meeting

Its the 8th

There's also modlive in November at brands hatch but not sure on the exact date
