@AlexW came down this weekend to help me sort out the recent issues. After speaking to Gripper (who actually phoned me back on a Saturday afternoon - very impressive customer service) we confirmed there was an issue with the diff. The metal sleeve and the splines had become detached. When the...

Looks nice. Sorry if I've missed it, but please bin that s**t filter of death and get a proper one.

Don't buy cheap or you risk them failing and your bonnet flipping up, buy the proper ones.

Oh nah, I wash them after I've finished and leave to dry on the draining board. Probably in my bucket for a few hours though, not just half an hour. They're proper ones, from CLC.

Hmm yeah I do leave it in the bucket whilst I continue on with my cleaning. Reckon that's it then!?

Had a good look around these two at the weekend! Stunning cars. So much carbon on show too!

What I'm finding is that the bristles/hairs on the brush, whatever they are. Start to fall out from the base. Then once it starts molting, it goes down hill very quickly.

Does anyone else find that Iron-X destroys the Valet Pro wheel brushes very quickly? I'm assuming it's the Iron-X as I don't really use it with anything else. Literally got through 3-4 of them in the last couple of months. Been using them to brush over the Iron-X to agitate the fallout.

Not good 😧 sorry to hear of the wasted race weekend. Do you have any idea why it happened? Rod bolt failure?

I may try and swing by if I can get off work early enough :)

I've got your keys with me today :smile: Love the cup. Feels very fast! Would be interesting to see what power it's actually making! Loving the ducts too, even though you butchered it to start off with, they still look properly done!

That is a very big rad. Good luck at Cadwell

That is seriously seriously awesome. Love it. Up there with one of my favourites. Obviously has Brembos. Are there any suspension modifications?

That's what I was thinking. Especially now it's yours and you know it's a good one.

Looks awesome!

Do we have to make the cut out for the light ourselves?

Me likey! Shall we paint you interior? You've got that black paint left over right...

Would you actually end up with a better one that what you have now though? If so how much better..

Front camber is negative. -2 would be good. I have -2.5 - -3, but I use mine on track only. Front toe, 10 minutes toe out would be 5 minutes each side yeah. That's what I have. You can't adjust caster, unless you have some fancy very expensive parts. Rears you can't adjust without shims.

I didn't say mod the car :P I said change the ceramics for OEM steel discs. And preserve the ceramics for resale time. Depending on how long you plan on keeping the car it might work out a lot cheaper in the long run. Steel discs now, which are more than sufficient for fast road and...

Beautiful :) Proper brakes too. Calipers are pure p**n. Thought about taking the ceramics off and storing them until resale time? And just using a similar sized steel equivalent in the mean time?

Now we all know that's a lie! Just look at you here, so happy to be involved :smile:

Yeah that's concerning.... Hmmm I'll have to try and test it on the road. Need to top up my box oil and sort that leak out too. Thanks for the offer mate, would have done. But I've been ordered to help the old man do a job of clearing out a house this weekend. Before the new people go in.

Thanks man :)

On that note, didn't you have the Gripper long before the RC kit though mate? And you didn't have problems with shafts before then?

Never had any issues like this before no mate.

I'm not going to try and understand that just yet. 😌 Does make sense. If it hadn't been such an expensive last 6 months for me I'd just think f**k it, buy the RC kit. Be done with the issues and have a good upgrade at the same time!

Cheers chaps. Hopefully this will be it then. Will strip it all down when I get a chance and go from there. Engine pushed over as far as possible, and a shorter shaft/ tweaked shaft if needed. As said, camber wasn't changed recently, just the tracking checked and tweaked.

Another thing to note, it was in Porkies 172 cup and on James' race car with no issues. Wouldn't James at least have been running the exact same shaft as me...

Hmm does sound like it could be similar to what you say. Could the fix be as simply as changing shaft for a shorter one then? Any potential drawbacks from this?
