didnt see it but was wandering back for a passenger ride in it when it came over on the tannoy about an escos coming in with wheel missing and i had a feeling it was his (was at brands last year when beefy had sorted a ride out for me and his clutch went just before)

hopefully not too much damage

Hi all i had an awesome day and car was mental,but now need to find more grip...
Earlier in the day i lost a rear wheel stud and nut and just couldnt work out why but put the torque wrench on the other three and all was good or so i thought!!!
Seems the studs have come away from the back of the hubs and as iv been doing the stupid alloy nuts up they have just been striping them selves and ended up ripping them selves out!!!

Luckily it really hasnt caused any damage other than the obvious brake disc studs bumper so it will be fixed asap.....

All in all im still chuffed with it and its fucking flying....


cheers danny

Sad to see Danny

Sad I couldn't make it to this one, although when I see things like that it reminds me why I can't run my car at every track day I want to.

Sounds like for you guys it's an easy fix so that's good news.

See you on track somewhere soon
