started work on some fluid changes today....

Trying to see where we are getting more oil drips from..... car has been sat since Thurs eve, with no new oil drops round engine, but 1 drip round the transfer box / centre diff. :S The front turbo oil drain does look a bit wet with oil, but the whole block does too :/
rear
block
transferbox/diff
Will change the front and rear diffs tomorrow. Def the front as i'm not too sure I have enough LSD diff oil for the rear.

2nd in warm up, 5th in Practice and 6th in qualifying. I think she is better in the wet than others
Sadly it was just short of the cut off to make the finals. Cars in GrpA are just too damn quick

Yea...some of the cars out there were fookin quick! Tho most of them were broken every 5 or 6 laps.
Saw that RX7 go into the tyres at old hall too!...Was Cringing all the way! Dont like seeing those cars leave the tarmac tbh...not like the touring cars where the team just get a new car to patch it up with!...Seemed to come off ok tho, was back out in the next session!

new rear 1/4 GFX
slightly tidier interior
latest weigh in
latest update....
Engine is out... the car developed a bottom end knock at the last track session it was on.
Crank is getting reground, new bearings etc.... app turns out that a main bearing has been too tight and overheated, cracked and caused debris to go through the other bearings

Not heard glowing feedback on Autobahn88 pish, but feck paying 600 odd quid for the trust/Greddy/hks equiv
I'd rather modify my stadard 'twin turbo' pipe, so its really just the two air filter to turbo intake pipes I want, but I cant find them for sale alone.... in hard materials.
Get this and try to sell what I dont use?!
