    grinding gear box

    This has been niggling away at me since I've had the car- I have no idea why it does it and more importantly what causes it. When you start the car from cold and select either first gear or reverse (in fact probably any gear as I've tried it in second slipping the clutch) then lift the clutch...

So far I have fitted top and bottom rad pipes, cam cover front breather and breather pipe from intercooler pipe work to throttle body (the one that goes over the fan shroud) but I...

    As in the title, 3 inch down pipe and elbow- stainless obviously. I bought toyo sport ones and the downpipe is tight against the passenger footwell so eventually something will crack :( lesson learnt but cheap but twice :(
