That's bad news regarding the car breaking down. At least it was at the end of the day not at the beginning. What are the symptoms?
So I ripped apart the block to replace the piston rings I fried last night and after a suspect crank sensor I found this...
Had a bit of a night yesterday....
Firstly started by getting the brakes off and well would be rude not to get a pic of them on
Then set about getting the box out to find this..
This is the damage in the bell housing..
This is where it's from..
And the hole it left in the box..
So now it sits like this..

When mine started crunching I started to stock pile and have a new clutch slave oil and the box i bought as a spare so I have all the stuff I need and was always planning to change it after Combe but didn't expect a free lift home.
And yeah the abuse it gets is part and parcel and this is the exact thing i wanted to happen and the reason why i have done so many trackdays this year imagine if this had happened coming out of the Karussell the cost involved would have been mega..
And after yesterday it still sits like this had a evening of just getting small bits done I have started sorting my subframe out best I can as it's a bit bad and got the clutch back in but the main thing I needed to do was tidy I couldn't even get to my tool box yesterday so this morning getting my bike out this was how it is.. 
Right eventful few nights Thursday night my pal came over and lent a hand and we got the box back in and all blead up.. 
And i managed to finish the top off..
Then yesterday I put the subframe back on and soeted out the brakes and wheels..
And got it running which was not problem it started first time and took it for a drive..
Everything worked ok bar esp light was on however took the sensor out and cleaned it and now it's all ok I'm just painting the rad support and waiting for it to dry so by tomorrow it will be all back together. Hopefully.
