Hi peeps

good to meet everyone again yesterday

well done to everyone I really enjoyed the day some top motors out there shame about the shitty weather

sorry to see Steve car and Ades which had engine probs


Anyway on the way home joining the M1 @ jct 20 the rear wheel decided to leave the car "yes" the long studs just SHEARED OFF without any warning , i was accellerating to join the motorway and all i felt was the N/S back end drop and the rear wheel passed me as i was slowing down " i was doing 70+mph when this happened I thought WTF is going on

Fair play to all the lads that stoped and help me jc/tib/kenny/danny/and loads more they took 2 long studs out of the front and then fitted them to the rear just to get the car ready for the AA truck , i got home about 9.20pm

if theres one good thing atleast the wheel never came off when i was doing a bit of testing or something like that i defo would be dead or the car would be in a very bad state .

Thats one thing about the Rs owners club everyone will help each when things happen when your at a venue

I can't thank you enough cheers for all the help lads

Cheers Marco

 

fucking hell marco.. thats shit! what studs did you have? why did they just shear off i wonder ????

glad theres no real bad damage though!






oh yeah


Pics or STFU!

 

Much damage marco??????

Top guys for helping out

 

you couldnt help it could ya Dave

 

Glad you got home marco,

You were very lucky indeed, i'd go put the lottery on pal as you may be having a lucky streak??


Lee

 

Well done to everyone that helped!

 

Well done to whose that stopped



Just Glad you and the car are ok Lenny

 

you were very lucky Marco.

One of my studs had snapped off after my first track day at silverstone. Didnt even notice tilli was on the way home and there was a funny noise coming out the wheel.

Got home and checked it and found I had snapped 1 stud clean off and the others were very loose.

 

lucky

 

glad you're still in one piece yourself mate, hopefully no further damage to the car itself.

 

Close shave, bet that made your hair curl

 

Dave

yes mate that true they just sheard off with out any warning

they are rallydesign longer studs , but i all honesty i don't think the studs are to blame , i use these spacers without any PCD fittment (universal spacers) because the wheel is resting on the studs and not on the hub and the jerking of the car acellerating i think the move about causing the wheel to move slightly

i was totaly shocked when it happend

but the car didn't feel too bad when it happend because i have the 330mmx32 discs on the back and so is that was basically a wheel I think the lsd helped aswell i might be wrong tho

marco

 

cheers lads i

I don't think theres any damage to the car well i haven't look properly

i know the disc is slighly marked but i think i was a bit lucky to be honest

fooking shed

 

I don't know about that but i did shit myself ,my undies were a bit full

 

Happened to me in a Rover, weird to see wheel coming past & disappearing over a Hedge. I got away with minor damage i hope you are as lucky mate.
Rod

 

ran

thats it you normaly get a clue but i never heard or felt nothing

marco






Tiff

it was dark i don't think anyone took any pics we could just about see our hands

 

thanks Lee for your help mate top man

 

thank fuck for that.. i've just bought a load of longest studs i could from raldes!!

glad to hear you're all unhurt and you've (eventually) got home ok!

 

Rod


i couldn't fooking belive it

 

Rudey

the wheel is ok but we couldn't fit this wheel back on the car because of the spacer .....we went looking for it but couldn't find it

so i got the spare out of the boot which clears the calipers and disc

the onlt damge i think it has done to the car that it has pulled the kit off thats about it

Marco

 

glad you ok m8 could have been alot worse

well done to all that stopped and helped

 

Marco -

Lesson learned I hope - go back to hubcentric spacers and proper Gp A studs .

Glad everythings okay fella

 

GUTTED for you mate..I know how much you want it back on the rd FULL HAMMER!!!!

I hope you get it all sorted asap mate....

If theres anyhing i can do to help,just let me know..

Pete...

 

Glad u were ok pal could have been nasty.

 

Glad you are OK Marco. It doesn't bare thinking about what could have happened if it took place elsewhere.

 

that happened to me on my pajero.. tho the wheel came flying off on teh autobahn and went flying over the central reservation and landed the other side of the road, luckily missing all the other cars...

feel for u its very scary glad ur ok!

katie x

 

happy to help marko
pitty you dident put the timming gear on the loose wheel it may have took rods top speed record down the m1
had a realy good day got home 12.30 pm
nice to meet some new people amd see some cars in action
o and thanks to tibs driven mine was the quickest rearwheel drive quarter
mile timed on the day
thanks jc

 

foooooooook! glad youre alright Marco! Ill be getting some proper spacers on mine before it happens to me too!!!!!

Is it a case of having them made or are they available does anyone know?

 

Blimey Marco, glad your ok matey, and theres a lesson to be learnt there pal

 

Hi Peeps lesson learnt

I have got some of these hubcentric spacers which Tony made for me but they dont fit Tony

I mean they fit but they dont fit flush to the hub face , i'll have to take them and get the centers machined in a bit so they fit flush on my hub then the wheel can sit on the hub bit

Cheers marco

 

Tony (nuts)is the man to make the proper ones (hubcentric spacers)

 

Fookin ell Marco!!! Lucky its didnt happen doing silly speeds!


Godo news you and the car are ok And i know what you mean about the club of owners. When ever i had problem with the saff the boys have always been there to help

 

Its not the wheel studs its them shonky Racelines...what time shall i pick them up

At least your ok mate & it didnt happen on a top speed run. Hope you get blue thunder fixed soon

 

pete


I am pining to get the car back to full power the way it was

I can't get it back to full power untill i get the part throttle sorted out this is what stoping me , the car from 1700rpm to 2.500rpm on part throttle is jerking like a bitch .......

I don't know what causing the problem as Martin has tryed all the sensors ,map/ air temp/crank /water temp /tps /every sensor has be changed still no joy he is going to try a loom is the next step if that still doesn't work then it can only be the Ecu what else could it be

this doesnot happen when i acelarte at all only part throttle

marco

 

glad ur ok geezer

 

Ryhs

true, i would be brown bread mate

 

Paul

ha ha ha ,

yes it would have been all over mate

 

Lucky nothing worse happened Marco.

easy to fix it though.
