I still have an engine stand, so I may be tempted to do one last engine build. Let me know what your idea is for spec and we can see what can be sorted.

You know what, I’m pretty sure we’ve had ‘that’ in at work before dropping a car off!

Bloody annoying!!!

So what you’re essentially saying is @Scrooge and his brother fixed it?

@Touring_Rob you're s**t mate 😂😂😂😂😂😂

I think the most important question that needs to be answered at this point are, did @Touring_Rob get it running? Or someone else?

That looks night and day better than it did after the collision mate! I was genuinely gutted to see the damage on the car as well, but the main thing is, it’s all fixable stuff. Has the rack moved slightly on its mounts?

Absolutely sue perb day up at Cadwell yesterday, and great company! I didn’t stop smiling all day! Massive shout out to the admin for pulling off an MSV track as well! With the venue being a bit more compact, from a paddock perspective, I think it kept everyone together more. I may be biased...

Personally, I think you’ll be fine. As I said yesterday mate, gut feel is some of the belt has gone behind the crank pulley and nicked the crank pulley seal.

If you get the box out and bring it to me, it’s a while you wait job - providing that clip hasn’t broken. If the clip has broken, ideally you want to be opening the box to retrieve it so it can’t do any damage internally.

You can do it from taking the end cap off, buts it’s an awkward fiddly pain in the f**king arse. Could be synchro, but it could be the metal spring clip that pushes the synchro down has failed. You need to know if the dog teeth on the gear and selector hub are ok too, otherwise they’ll need...

Yeah not me. I’m saving up extra cuntishness for Saturday.

Yeah happy to drive up together mate if you do end up going on Saturday 👍🏻

6am ish I reckon

Good job I only need 4-5hrs sleep to function 😂

If you were heading up Saturday morning, we could’ve met up and headed up together, as I’ll be heading up Saturday early doors.

Ah ok no worries 👍🏻

@Clart when you heading up to csf?

Told the service advisor at work who lost her husband to MND, that we would be raising money for MND in the CSF raffle. She had a little cry and asked me to say thank you 👍🏻

There’s a metal spring clip stopping the hub sliding down. You need to use a small flat blade screwdriver to flick it out at the 3 points - you’ll see what I mean. That will then allow the fork to go down properly.

Yeah they’re the ones that were developed my me and Tom.

It’s shorter, so it’s more like 4.5 gear.

Race spec settings vs fast road/trackday on a gripper diff make a huge amount of difference to how they drive on the road. Just a change of ramp angles changes the way a gripper works as well. That’s like saying you’ve got 1000n springs and the ride on the road is awful.

@Dannyafro @Renny 5 may be able to help

For me, Donington is the best track in the UK. It’s absolutely sublime when you get it right, and it’s fuckin fast as well. Craners is without doubt, THE best corners of any track too. In my mk2 it was flat at around 110. In the mk3 it was 115/120, then heavy on the brakes for the old hairpin. Lol

Unfortunately I don’t know the part numbers for the springs as they only come as part of the selector hub for 1st2nd gear. Your only hope is to find another box and strip It to plunder it for parts.

I’m fucked if I know 😂 , but I’m pretty sure I paid about £12 for the last one I bought lol

Ford cosworth Amal valve was by far the most reliable boost controller I used. Just different sized drillings for the insert into the valve needed. Bit trial and error at first, but never had one fail, and that was running 2bar+ boost lol

To answer your question, I can confirm that jb3 internals will not work on a jc5.

What’s the hot oil pressure at idle and under load? That’s the best way to answer if you’re better off upping the oil grade.
