Cheers alex! Yeah family's doin good my little boys running around now terrorising everything!!! Suppose your little ones doin the same now too! hard work innit! I'll probably catch up with you at some of the shows this year as I'm working long hours during the week + got the boy at the weekends. Also a mate of mine opened his own company AD Autotecknik and there pretty close to where I live.The car looks great all stripped out. I still love those seats. Im glad its still going well. How is the family?
That apprentice (Curtis) doesnt work for us anymore. He actually builds the new Mclarren GT3 cars now! It would be great to see you and the car back up at the shop sometime.
I would say 12.5 but i know how you drive so maybe 12.4
Damn that's some damage, glad you got it sorted.
I always try to double check any work done by garages or mates just to be on the safe side. Has your mate said anything to you since this happened?
Sorted my NSF bush out yesterday so she's all fixed properly now!! But I'm now getting like a gearbox whine but it's doing it in neutral too it sounds like it's coming from the rear though I think it may be the new wheel bolts there 50mm cos my new 20mm spacers but when I screwed them into the hub after 8 turns there was still over a cm of thread still to go. So could the bolts be rubbing on the inside of the hub?
Easy to find out take a wheel off and have a look for any marks on the hub
cheers bill iv only done about 20 miles in it so far so I'll check them tomorrowyowza! all that from loose wheel bolts??
jeez.. unfortunate
Too long a bolt and it pushes onto the ABS reluctor ring, which in turn gets pushed into the ABs sensor, wiping off its end
nope internals on the cards for next summer had the kit on for over 2 years now and i drive her hard done 19 runs at pod on sunday then drove her home!Ha ha! that launch was nothing short of epic, nice work...
Is it still on standard internals? i could't see anything on you spec list about it
He was gutted and wanted to help pay for the damage when he can. Your right Dave It could have been alot worse if that last bolt had of sheared off !!!
I like your car a lot Don, I think it's awesome. Very jealous of your man turbo compared to my kids turbo on steriods
However, I can't help thinking there are several areas that could be VERY easily and cheapy improved, that would remove some pretty huge restrictions.
Do I have permission to say what these things are? if not tell me to shut up and I'll go away
none but we don't talk anymore and I have his snap on battery powered buzz gun !And how much of that has your mate paid for?
