I have a spare 02M box if needed, great condition and low miles... I'd recommend only using the Renault NFJ oil as well in the JC5
I can't see why the standard box would if cheesed up so quickly either, yeah you have big power but it's not like you are dumping the clutch or being a tool with it...
Brakes and roll center kit on... Need to fit tyres and get the pissed geometry set up!!
Little bit annoyed that the pads don't contact the full disc surface, about half inch of unused disc on the inner part, anyone know of a bigger pad or is this not an option??
Just the edges of the hex key bolts need filing back, I used an air hand band sander, 2second job, doesn't compromise strength or anything to worry about..
Yeah you can see little marks where it hits inside the diff cup, after a while I'm sure something would give, casing, diff bearings, shaft bearings etc... Not good!!
So found out with help from @NorthloopCup that a shorter ph1 172 shaft is required to work with my diff, 182 n/s shaft is too long and Judders when cornering hard and going quick into roundabouts.... Just thought I'd post incase anyone is considering one.. Apparently gripper diffs had the same...
In that case I need to try some track day tyres... I have always thought AD08 were pretty amazing grip wise but may think differently after say some A048
Have had 2 sets already, had the original and the R version, I find them to be a very reliable and mega grippy when warm... I know they aren't a 'track' tyre but very at home on the ring and to be fair I don't think you can beat them as an all rounder!
Just paid £340 for 4 delivered in...
Hi mate, didn't see this... It was a case of very lightly shaving the smallest amount of the rough casting of the inside of the case with a die grinder, probably an area the size of a 1p
Mine didn't slip yet but was only a matter of days looking at it, the Sachs is a pleasure to drive so far, pulling away is sweet now... No noises, dragging and all the other shite that came with the helix. Happy!!
So box is back in, few odds and ends sorted too.. Found a melted wire behind the heat shield that explains why I have had a random flashing brake warning light coming on!! It was the level sensor cable, rewired that and relocated so happy I spotted it! Little water leak on the coolant hose on...
So just removed the clutch to replace with my new Sachs performance clutch and the old helix is in a bit of a state to be honest,
Down to the rivets already and it's only done 12k tops although there was a nürburgring ring trip on it too it's pretty crap IMO so not only has it been making...
