Dw Sweet cheers mate ! Something else to do on the car whilst loveisland is on in the house !

Is this the stuff ???? Will be making some plastic door cards soon now we have half decent template ....

Yeah I do keep looking at it all and keep saying to my self next time lol ... I did read some where that someone from abroad used dry ice ? Did the all the car in about 20 mins !

Had a quick total up the other night of where I am at with costs ... just broke £1400 including buying the car . Still want to sort out cage ,seats,harness new exhaust (possible side exit something different ) and sort the engine out . Always planned on changing the engine if it went pop but...

Door cards

Will take some for you ... there nothing pretty but saves having to put long sleeve jumper on for track days !

Clean !

On track

Well quick update /late update on the progress of the car ! Finally made it to a track day and got to drive around the track ! Car was mega ! Managed to squeeze in a couple extra mods night before turning up to snetterton plus a trip to a/e....... ds2500 pads and a new wheel. Note to self in...

Yeah I had the one piece ... well 2 of them lol . Both come apart and shat them selfs ... I now finally have one identical to what came off in the first place . It seems fine ATM but will get on a ramp and have a look properly in the morning

What cover is missing ? As it stands the shaft is mirror image of what the original one was I removed over a week ago ?

I've just fitted the drive shaft .. it is close the block but not rubbing . There's no shakes or wobbles from anything . I'm taking it to a mates garage in the morning to get everything checked and tracking set up properly .

Not sure I did look aswell . I see they do some designed for motorsport etc . I'm not expert on them but it does look a lot better than the 2 I just gave back .

Well here it is .... finally a drive shaft which was the same as I had taken off to start with ! Still don't understand how the other driveshafts are meant to be fine ! This shaft was supposed to be double the price of the original one they gave me . Part no:re559a

Msv I think ... Thursdays 6th July . It's only an evening session

Sweet . One of the guys that works me and my brother also got 172s for track aswell . I haven't made it out in mine yet lol ! Been there 3 times now !

Just outside bury st Edmunds ...

Nah just got a phone call saying he spent all day tracking one down and has found an original genuine drive shaft . Said it's on special order and will take 2 days to get here ... when it turns up if it's correct I'll post it on here so at least we know they can get the correct parts !

Pictures before snetterton and picture of this evening !

All parts arrived just in time for snetterton last night .. 3 hours before the evening session started ! Car managed to make it to snetterton gate before he driver side shaft came out and mashed it's self up ..... great start ! Thankfully my sister picked up another shaft on her way up for this...

well if it's the correct one it should of been the first time ... not to fussed if it's wrong as I'm not paying for it .will let you know what turns up ... will most probably end up being a hub nut

Well euros have got a genuine one in on special order ... see what turns up I guess !

Cheers will have a look

Thanks mate ... well I've got a full refund from them ATM and there looking into it . Just pissed to lose all my money on the track day aswell . Only positive thing I can take from this is that they didn't give up on full chat on the road or track !

right I'm most probably going to be slated for going to eurocrap parts to begin with but I've just got new shafts from them .. first of all I say there different ( shaft I had taken off had the bearing housing shaft they gave me was solid ) . I then had manager etc come out and tell me they fit...

Heating all stripped out . Eventually will get round to doing an air con delete . Did wonder if it's possible to strip all the crap out of ac pump and fit a bearing or something ? Not to clued up with them sort of things . Coolant plumbed back in with bits lying around .... bit pikey but does...
