Yeah I should put my one back together so that we're not one Piazza short.

Hows the new box Rick?

The box is ok guy's, the ratios are a little shorter but it takes off harder. having some trouble tho with first. For some reason ill place it where first is suposed to be but it feels like there is nothing there and the car just revs like its in nuetral, so i select another gear then back to first and that seems to fix it up! i also noticed i dont need to place the shifter to far to the left or again it will miss the gear. No more gearbox leaks know i gotta stop the engine leaking, its not bad it only drops a little every couple of days but my mates old man is getting the shits coz its making a mess of his drive way every day but ill get round to it.

So you live pretty close Dave, where abouts?

ill be setting the date for the cruise next week, still looking at the calender to see when the best time will be, not sure about hot or cold wheather. Hot is better for the overnight side of things but cold is better for the Turbo side of things. What would you guy's preffer??

anyway the more cars we can get together the better so do what you gotta do to get them on the road as i want it to be huge being the first official/un official piazza cruise.

Damn Piazza shifters never work properly. I had problems with 1st too.. Think the pivot ball is stuffed.

Hey one other bit I need for my Piazza you might be able to help me with is one of those sheet metal guard things that goes under the car from the bumper to the crossmember. Have you got one of those off the parts Piazza I could buy off you?

As far as the Sydney cruise goes, I am going to be in California for almost the entire month of June so that rules me out if you decide to have the cruise then. After that I am available. Before I leave is also a possibility.

ok no worries
Could you save the bolts off it too?
There's one other little bit I can think of that I need. The rubber tube coming off the firewall drain hole on the passenger side, if it's not torn up like mine.
