bloomin car, gave the engine a freshen up... new gaskets etc and de-coce... blah blah blah.

and 60 miles after putting it all back together i snap the shaft thru the turbo (turbo having done no more than 600 miles!!!!)

anyhow, turbo gets returned and the offer of a T38 gets pushed my direction, after a bit of thought i go for the T38 and head back for it all to be set up... 3 miles home and i shatter the front diff and i feel like crying

thank you to my guardian angel in the name of steve scott who turns up 15 mins after i broke it 3 miles from his house and gives me the keys to his sprinter van and trailer to get the car back to his house and lends me his wifes car overnight!!!

next morn im borrowing his workshop and fitting a new front diff which takes me a small eternity and then head home late yasterday eve with 32psi peak and 30psi held on a T38... big grins all the way home and the biggest of thanks given to steve scott at A1 Rally Sport.

Thank You

and roll on brands hatch on wednesday

 

good man steve!

 

top man steve
whats the new bhp of the car kelcos

 

I would say ... dont feel so unlucky!!... Unlucky would be smashing the front diff and taking the sump with it

 

Big up to steve scott.

 

Damo... it gets far worse... 3 days after fitting the new diff, i snapped the mainshaft in the gearbox.

the night before the PF trackday and im at steves again having my transfer box swapped over onto a a new gearbox and its all finished being fitted at about midnight... just enough time for a bit of sleep and hitting brands track around lunchtime

but since then ive had a turbo failure just miles from santa pod on sunday and the car is currently sat up at steves yet again... hopefully back on the road again soon

 

Mainshaft???



How much torque this car poduces?!??!

 

Azrael, ive no idea as not had chance to have it rolling roaded as yet.

Steve basically said he'd never seen a road car brake a box in that way!

 

I've heard they NEVER ever brake.

 

Blimey!!! i should have kept it as a souvenier.

ill pick it up next time im at steves and get a few pics etc!

 

kelcos do that



You're probably animal with drivetrain

 

Kelvin,

Were you up at the pod, sure it was your who drove past us all caged up & without the rear wing.

 

$hit luck M8

Hopefully you get your Turbo sorted soon and get some decent use out of the thing

 

Franco, it could well have been mate... was there a small cloud of smoke following me along?

 

Looked sweet as from where i was standing, hope you get it sorted soon!

 

Cheers mate

everythings on hold at the moment, cars sat at steves so will continue fixing it when he gets back from racing in france!
