Thanks! Still a work in progress, but I'm always happy with how far it has come!!!

Thank you. I've been looking at spoilers but cannot seem to find one I really like. The Grubb V3 looks pretty good, but I cannot find any info on it.

First issue has come up with the build. Transmission failure.

Going to work the car didn't want to connect power to the wheels. The rpm's continue to go up with throttle but no response with the transmission. It'll sit in park but doesn't want to pull in gear.

Brought it in and after a fluid change it seemed fine again. Not the case. Driving home and going to pass someone the rpm's bounced off the rev limit and it didn't want to catch again.

Insult to injury, when the first tow company took it in they chipped my front bumper. Bringing it back in today (different tow company) and will see what the issue is.

That sucks! All the work and all the waiting you put up with to get the transmission up to par then this happens
Any idea what went wrong?
G/L and hope you're back on track ASAP.

Looks like the clutch packs went. Still have to confirm but it makes sense as it is the only thing I didn't upgrade. Going to have the transmission overhauled by Level 10 to find the problem and correct it. Going to get the "Bulletproof" treatment like SharpbyCoop (hopefully I can break his records hahaha)

Transmission "bulletproofing" has begun! Hoping for a 3-5 day turnaround, ship back another ~3 days, then reinstall. Finger's crossed end of next week or next two weeks I'll be back in business.

Hoping to have sucess with this transmission.

couldn't imagine not being able to drive baby zilla for even a couple days

Yeah it sucks Choy. This past year the G has seen a lot of down time, but it is almost a finished build (almost, haha)

Thanks! It will always be somewhat of a project but I'm trying to make sure it is going to be unbreakable, haha.

I've been looking the OEM one looks good but I want something more aggressive.

Transmission has arrived and will be in soon along with a couple of other goodies... Quaife rear LSD and CSF race radiator. Should be up and running within a week or two.

Just wondering if you could point me I the direction to get the cf rad cover
Good looking car by the way !

I bought the CF Rad cover off another member on the forum, I ordered it through a vendor but they could not deliver. I know Carbon Fiber Element can hook up something for the radiator too.

So was it the clutch pack failure like you thought? What's the cost for the full bulletproof treatment if you don't mind me asking?
I'm sure you've been going crazy waiting for all this to come together, your patience will pay off in spades though. Looking forward to your impressions when you get it down the road

Lt8Che

Yeah, looks like the clutch packs went. Normal cost for the full bulletproof is around $3,500 as listed on Level 10s site, they hooked me up with a good discount being a previous customer. Thanks again Blnewt for throwing good vibes at the build. Cannot wait to have her putting power back down and hopefully will be beating up the 1/4 soon! Should be back to it after 6 Oct nursing the break in period.
