3rd Sunday of the month, Akeman Inn Kingwood. I assume it's on in October but some of these things don't do the colder months. If you follow BoostedUK on FB or Insta they do regular updates

What a beast! Nice work.

Can I ask which gearbox you replaced yours with?? I am a bit paranoid about mine and was wondering if there's a particular code that's more desirable?

Just a bit lol. I've only frozen it once it's behaving pretty nicely now and easy to fix. Love my 7 wheel too much

Cheers mate, I actually don't know. As far as I know there isn't a particular code that's better than others. Just try and find as new/ clean/ and few miles as possible really. I believe all ratios are the same and dont think they did any major strengthening updates. They're very good from stock generally

Talking about you changing your box
I think mine may need changing
Crunching in 4th and whining.

So
Any body reckon its easy to swop over the lsd from ones box to another

So been a while. Not really doing much modding and still just enjoying her along with being busy.

Decided that all the black plastics were a bit faded and needed a refresh so I painted them matt black.

Also decided to clean and coat the brakes and wheels. While I was under there had a clean up and a good check over + lubricated for winter.

So that was all done last weekend and I spent today prepping for the paintwork, glass and interior which I will update later and over the next couple of days
