Have you got any pictures of how you had it assembled?

Tbh, there's not really a lot of 'meat' around that part that's failed considering the load it has going through it. Obviously works though, but not designed for the twisting force that's been put through it.

You need to shorten the coolant pipe slightly and I also slotted the header tank mounting bolt holes to move it further across. Works! I'll send you a pic of that when I send the battery relocation stuff.

It's also important to remember your pissing in the wind if you don't have your car corner weighted once you fit coilovers. Same can be said for the roll centres. If they're miles out the damper and roll bars are immediately working significantly harder than they should be.

Is that Anthony Davidson driving your car MicKPM? Lol

Yes mate they're on car adjustable. Fronts are top adjustable and the rears have a collar at the bottom of the shaft. I can get the 2's at half right money as well.

£980 delivered for sportline 1's. I'm on sportline 2's

Track use only? Ast sportline 1 or 2's.

The pulsar plenum ain't actually that bad tbh Steven. I used one to fabricate my custom inlet plenum for my turbo vauxhall engine. Happily did 420hp @2 bar!

Was I pissed up when I agreed to this?! I can't remember agreeing!! Lol!

Re: 'Cub's Trackday Flamer - Cage etc' My sentiments exactly! Lol

Re: E36 Track Day Hack (v2) If your struggling to find someone to do the timeserts let me know and I'll point you in the right direction mate. They use the proper timeserts as well = far superior to w**k helicoils.

Re: 'Cub's Trackday Flamer - Cage etc' Or use an impact gun to tighten them mate. A squirt of loctite around the top of the nut once it's tight also works.

Yeah pretty much mate. It's either a manufacturing defect in the materials or a malfunction inside the gearbox causing it to lock up and snap the weak link. All imo of course tony.

Sorry mate, been a bit busy this week. I'll try and get some over the weekend.

@MG cup the 2nd video is private mate? Not no more!

Re: E36 Track Day Hack (v2) If you use timeserts and fit them properly you'll be fine mate. They won't come out at all. Worth the money mate especially for the weight saving of the ally block imo.

Yeah that's it mate. I've had one in bits tonight for synchros funnily enough! Lol! Yeah it's certainly looking that way isn't it.

No mate it's a torq headed bolt for the gear on one shaft and a 27mm nut on the other.

On the upshot of all your bad luck pete, I'm glad that you noticed the initial improvements that the r/c kit has to offer.

No worries mate Grant89. If you let me know what stuff your after I'll price it up for you as I used to get 45% discount at earls. Lol

You can make the hoses up yourself if you know what fittings to buy Grant89. It's just a case of searching through earls/goodridge catalogues and ordering the stuff up. Earls will sort you out with the right pipe if you give them a bell. All really helpful chaps.

Various positions mate. Look down the n/s/f in the wheel arch for a strap between the chassis and the gearbox. Bolts on to the end cover on the box

All the earth straps in place?

Clutch assembly incorrectly fitted stopping the engine turning over when all bolted up together. Long shot, but a possibility

There's a relay in the engine bay fuse box as well. Worth a try.

Was the gearbox/clutch assembly on at that point?

+1 need to know this mate. Put it in gear and rock it back and forth. You'll be able to see if the crank pulley has moved round at all.

Yeah me neither, just covering all the bases for if the frenchies decided the op's car was a 'f**k it, it's Friday' car! Lol

You'll need to do some port matching to get it to fit mate i'd imagine and iirc you'll have to drill another hole as the bolt pattern to mount it to the head is different. Only one hole different though, the others line up. It's obvious when you see them side by side.
