when you step on it, it really makes big steps 
how did the gearbox go? did not hear a big bang, later when you drove slower you could here things though.
Yes, didn't really go with a bang, but on a downshift , Darren heard it instantly and shut off the power, luckily on a steep section and managed to coast all the way back to the trailer ! how did the gearbox go? did not hear a big bang, later when you drove slower you could here things though.
ah, just seen some pictures of new 3 and 4th gears and the standard ones here>

but up to 400nm thats probably enough for up to 350 or so elise/exige's but 500 turbo hap's could still be asking for it ?
how much nm does this set up from that car has now?

The 3rd and 4th gears are the weak points of the standard 6 speed gearbox.
are you getting something like those? they look stronger, less teeth and the teeth are thicker.but up to 400nm thats probably enough for up to 350 or so elise/exige's but 500 turbo hap's could still be asking for it ?

ah, around 300 nm, I was expecting a higher number, but guess I 'forgot' its a 4cill although with around 500hp so that works different then say a V8 with around that turbo hp power.
otherwise probably such E153 swap could be perhaps useful too, like this>

what are they saying about the standard engine and gearbox (or was that only the engine) when you say supercharge it its good (it can hold) for around 300bhp? or can you stretch it to say 340<>360bhp
for road use and some track-days.
