Not much to update one since last week, I'm afraid.

The transmission is now with the outfit on the Silverstone business park, awaiting a teardown to uncover what's wrong. I have to admit, I thought we'd be further along by now; in my mind this was last Tuesday/Wednesdays job, then to assess and get parts on order. Hoping to hear by the end of play today what the prognosis is.

In parallel with this, however, I decided to go all-out and invest in a Guard Transmission "Club" level LSD, along with a billet differential cover. Which I do appreciate, is OTT for a road-only car, but to me it's a nice thing to have for any future owner in case they decide to do standing starts, or put slicks on there. Or both. And it'll serve as a great reminder of what's contained within, every time I jack the car up!

I'm hoping that Mr Monson will be able to get that shipped today, so that we can build it into the transmission in a few days time. Can't wait to see it; when checking back through my emails to Matt (Monson), it was back in 2010 that I first reached out to him. This pre-dated me actually buying this car, and reading back through my diatribe, I think it must've coincided with another white 964T I had gone to look at (which the owner dicked me about on)...so...yes, nice to actually get around to buying a toy that I've had my eye on for almost a decade.

I've cancelled the dyno day on the 25th - there's no way we can make that. Hoping we can still get to Northampton Motorsport on Friday 1st March though, for an afternoon (and evening?!) session.

Will update when I know more......
