Well the car is back from RM Performance
Firstly a huge shout to my main man Mr Rob and his good lady Cassie for getting up at stupid o’clock and driving to mine for 6am so Rob could come up to collect the car and drive the Q5 back. Really appreciate it you guys
Ok as you know the list for the gearbox refurbishment was quite extensive with all of 3rd and 4th gear needing replacing along with hubs, selector forks, and everything that comes with. I also had the Subaru upgraded 3x carbon Baulk rings fitted.
A few pics of the gearbox in bits etc below:
Whilst this was being done, the guys at RM Performance noticed the rear crankshaft oil seal was leaking so I had that replaced and also had an RCM Billet oil separator plate installed ready for future plans
Then came the Competition Clutch Stage 3 kit and lightened flywheel
This completed the gearbox work.
Whilst chatting with Tom at RM (who is an amazing chap and so knowledgable) we discussed my future plans and we decided that a catch can would be beneficial.
One day later I was the proud owner of an RCM Track Track Catch Can Kit with return to my RCM baffled sump and had Tom, Mick, and Rob install it before I collected the car today.
I can not recommend these chaps at RM Performance enough. They are very very knowledgable, experts in transmission overhauls, upgrades, and also anything to do with general modification and servicing. Located 10mins from Prodrive
They also specialise in engine rebuilds and upgrades and lets just say we have had many a long email over the last week or two (sorry and thanks Tom! Ha ha) and I feel these guys will be seeing my car and another Scoob quite a lot towards the end of this year and most of next
Be sure to check them out if anyone needs gearbox, diff, engine work or general Modifying and servicing
