Greek AE86 restoration/modification (pics)

[Dorito86]

I went to the Megara circuit yesterday afternoon. My aim was to attempt time attacks for a change (I always try to drift there). The first lap was a dream the car felt good and I was getting excited. But then...

I regret to announce that 4000kms after my full gearbox rebuild, the gearbox might need to be replaced. Reasons (after 1 lap at 70%):
1. 4th gear refuses to stay engaged. Pops out as soon as I step on the gas.
2. Excesive clutch slip in second and third. I had this before and I'm almost certain its gearbox oil leaking onto the clutch plate.
3. Gerbox oil leaks on the ground.

As a result I have come to the following conclusions:
1. Gearbox was badly rebuilt or/and badly fitted or/and excesivelly worn by T3 short-shift.
2. I have 300 Euro in the bank, so I can either park the car and wait, or sell the damn thing and get on with life. If I keep it, I will have to choose between rebuilding the current box (cost me 500 euro last time) or buy a used box (costs between 250 and 300 euros).

I must say that having spent nearly 8.000 Euro on the car so far (incl. purchase), without enjoying it and naturally I feel very dissapointed. Actually, I am shure the next mechanic will do an even worse job on the car.
