StanceWorks E30 Project Update: Test Drive Plans & Inspection of Blown-Up Transmission

In this latest installment from StanceWorks, the team updates us on the progress of their beloved E30 project car. It seems that the end is in sight, with the car almost complete and running smoothly. But hold your horses, folks, because they've got something exciting planned for the next episode - a full-on test drive that promises to be an adrenaline-fueled, tire-burning extravaganza. They can't wait to put those fresh Falcon Tires to the ultimate test. However, before they can embark on this automotive adventure, there's a little detour they need to take.

You see, during their recent escapades in Australia, their qua sequential transmission suffered a catastrophic failure. And now, the time has come to investigate the extent of the damage. With a mix of curiosity and trepidation, they tear into the transmission, eager to uncover the secrets lurking within. The team is no stranger to setbacks, but this one has them scratching their heads. They suspect that some dog ring teeth may have been blown up, but they won't know for sure until they delve deeper into the gearbox.

As they meticulously disassemble the transmission, they are met with a sight that leaves them dumbfounded. Second gear, dear viewers, is in a sorry state. It's completely stripped, devoid of any teeth. This revelation is both shocking and perplexing. How could such a catastrophic failure occur in a transmission with only a few hours of use? The team, though not transmission experts, can't help but question the cause of this unexpected disaster. They ponder whether it's a result of user error or if there's something more sinister at play.

Undeterred by this setback, they decide to seek the expertise of professionals to thoroughly inspect the transmission and determine the necessary repairs. They want to ensure that they don't repeat the same mistake and end up with another broken gearbox. In the meantime, they tease us with a new shirt design that features the blown-up second gear, a clever way to raise funds for the replacement transmission. So, buckle up, folks, because the journey of the E30 project car continues, filled with twists, turns, and unexpected challenges.
