I thought they would....did they say anymore as to weither I was right about the flaw? or have you just got your money/new crank back and not asked?

I'd want to know in detail mate as it could possibly happen again.

mart

i told you it could have been pourus like Lee's half shafts

im glad they sorted you out, i might aswell have that crank of you

Bara's sorted me a new 9" plated diff , gone for the normal 3.62 ratio
instead of the 3.9

any space in the work shop so we can fit it or you still flat out with cars


see you tomorrow anyway

Evo a couple of weeks ago. Saph was a little quicker - aided by the 200 bhp power difference

Your Saph on track tomorrow? Be good to see it!

The last time i read about your car Martin it wasn't running full boost yet

Is it now?

Have you got any times yet?

So you still have the other replacement crank (DKE?) you brought earlier? I would still be pissed at Fardon as the results could of been MUCH worse.

With all that said, main thing is that you got it sorted now. Now get it running full boost and get the timing gear on!

Do you know when your car will be setting some times martin? I would love to know how it compares to your old car.
