steve.m Posted March 22, 2016 Author Share Posted March 22, 2016 (edited) So... its been a while since this thread was updated. The car hasn't really been used for a while and has done about a thousand miles since this time last year, mainly due to baby number two coming along and I've also been relocating my business but that's it now... no more kids! Now the car suffered a little issue whist on DBv2 in September, it decided it didn't like going into fourth gear at high rpm anymore. It has since just been sat in the garage feeling sorry for itself and I had the usual winter blues thinking about selling again! The car needed to be MOT'd in February and once I had it back out I got the bug again and started looking at my options of V160 rebuilds etc. The only people I wanted to rebuild the gearbox was Jacks Transmissions in the US but after numerous conversations with them it was soon evident that if I went down this avenue the car would be out of action most of the summer and I really wanted to avoid that. So I started looking at second hand boxes and If going this route I wanted a V161 due to updated synchros etc. but the prices of these were skyrocketing. Although good working boxes could be found, they were still 20 odd years old and I could see myself ending up in the same boat. So... Things escalated further and I started looking at brand new gearboxes but absolutely nobody could any longer source a new V161! The only new boxes available were V160's at Titan in the US but by the time I had spoken to them they were all out! After a huge amount of searching I somehow managed to come across a brand new V161 lurking in Switzerland, naturally I snapped it up and It is now here waiting to go in. Before anybody asks... it was expensive!! but only the best for the Wangan... The car will also be getting a new HKS LA clutch when the box is swapped over so I will soon have an RPS Tripe carbon clutch for sale if anyone is interested. Hoping to get plenty of use out the car this year! Edited March 22, 2016 by steve.m (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Supes Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 Oh gawd, excuse me while I go off for a frap... Epic update. Definitely only the best for the Wangan! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
