Cheers for that link Chris, it seems to be able to explode quite easily? Hmmm.
Theo is sorting me out with an output shaft once he's recovered from illness, so that should see the prop progress carrying on.
A few more additions to the car, got a new QR boss. (Expensive, but stiff as you like, didn't want it snapping off in my hands mid-drift!)
Which spaces the wheel a bit closer now, and meant I could fit the Nardi horn push
Got a new air filter, lower so should clear a strut brace with ease, and not rusty (it is however BRIGHT YELLOW, so it won't be staying. It was a choice of red, blue, green or yellow, I figured I'd go for the one that matches the rocker cover for now!)
Gave the strut brace mounts a coat of black (tidying up of the strut towers to commence very soon!)
and I plumbed in a swirl pot and secondary pump (another job is to re-spray the rear end, as a can of rockstar exploded during an "enthusiastic round-a-bout maneuver", and won't come off.
I've also just come back from Anglesey for a drift day, which was bloody wet but very good fun! Got some good tips of a guy who helped run the day, had the hairpin dialled.
May have over compensated with the amount of tyres needed though . . .
The drive there was ok but the drive back was a little sketchy. Bad rain, spray, fog and snow through the long 5 hour slog through the night. I also had battery problems, which I put down to (for now) the fans being on all day cooling the engine, and sapping power. Alternator was enough to run the car but not top up the battery. After a good few hours on the motorway everything is now fine.
Snow at the last fill up.
A screen grab from one of the vids. Theres a lot to sift through so I'll do some editing and pop some up when I'm done. My mates got a fair few photos as well, so I'll sling those up too.
Apart from the electrical issues he did bloody well! No other problems at all. I might put thicker oil in it next drift day, as the oil pressure was quite low after a good few hours of none stop drifting!
