Now let the fun begin!!!

[quote="gingertoss"]Glad you have her back, will be interested to hear your thoughts on the box once run in.

Hell yeah

[Mr V10]

Daveperc has given the lowdown on the box already. It'll drive the same as before it broke, don't expect DSG shifts all of a sudden, and there wasn't any less measureable drivetrain losses from what I recall and you'll never know it was money well spent until you're 200k miles/20 years down the line. The 517 trans is for people who really love their C5 and naturally expect to keep it for the rest of their lives. Pandas' thoughts will be a wink, an ass flash and something cryptic, so don't hold your breath.

Bloody hell, I'm a miserable sod.

Yeah, C6 ownership has taken the joy out of your life.

Everything you said there was spot on, BUT - 517 trans is for the owners who want big figures. Can't really see a 517 being needed for a standard car.
I would say that an uprated verter is helpful to stage1 mapped cars, then 517 for anyone going stage2 +.
We will never know the outcome of this build, bits will be missing and never explained.

Great stuff, good to see she's back on the road

Now get those running in miles done

[ahoooga]

She's probably done the 1000 miles by now, within 24 hours

Nice one Miss Ano, must be fantastic to get the beast back , bet you don't want to turn her off!

Spare a thought for those of us who'll be without over the festive period......
