Think we're going down to the drags for a look, I won't be racing unless money starts to grow on trees and i can fix my car up within a few weeks. Doubt my gearbox will ready by then either. not sure when the black beast will be ready but i don't think that soon, its coming together quicker now though. Until i get my new car I'm staying out of racing for a bit.

ouch that suck you haven't though about contacting jms at all willo?

I've been keeping an eye on their site but haven't seen any pull type clutches go through. I would assume they can find whatever I want but a lot of other places probably can as well. At this stage I'm thinking about waiting and getting something new, a lot less hassle.

Autobarn. They have a pile of them in the cabinet. I was a pretty technical proceedure but I'll outline the basics for all those wishing to purchase said product.

1) Go into Autobarn.

2) Speak to closest Autobarn employee and say "High Octane 4"

3) Take DVD back to counter.

4) Pay for DVD (or not but I didn't feel like running and I'd like to go back there)

5) Leave.

Any Questions?

She does what she's told. :/

Here's a photo I took from three weeks ago.

Correct me if I'm wrong (which I probably am) but don't Daikin make some awesome clutches? Although I think they're european.

THere was plenty of High Octane 4 DVD's in Autobarn today about 20 minutes after Squizz was in there too.

Oh and the dude thats been canning Dev's old 33 is in fact Briscoe's sun he's been driving it home every after noon of late. and gods it's sad when he pulls up preparing to drive up his driveway only to sit there chrunching and searching for gears for a few minutes.

I think I saw Fro pulled over last night. Did he get of alright? Or was it major defect time? I hope not. See everyone around.

    • Sorry no - The sandtrap adventure ended the day, happened at the end of the last session. At that time I wasn't hearing any weird noises nor were the brakes shuddering anymore. It was only when watching the videos that I remembered I had these sounds early on!
    • Did the noise appear after your sand trap adventure? Could be something got dislodged and is playing rub rub. Even a rock wedged somewhere.
    • Is there a shroud around the tailshaft spline into the back of the box? They can rub and make a horrible noise if they are not on straight/damaged. The heat might have caused it to grow too much in one direction and rub.
    • Strangely I noticed it either disappear later in the day, or not be present. I definitely noticed when I was crawling around that open wheel thingy entering the pits (that part was audible in car). Driving home and commuting around town for example, I didn't hear it. It's plausible that it was a brake disc or something still slightly in contact. The brakes absolutely felt BAD for the first couple of sessions, huge amounts of shudder and grinding as they got up to temp - And then I actually just forgot about it as the day went on/didn't notice it. The videos were from the morning when this was more present than the afternoon/drive home when it wasn't. I've asked around and got a variety of responses including handbrake shoe contacting hub, CV joints, CB tailshaft bearing as above, and clutch input bearing. I didn't test if it disappeared when clutch was in. I haven't noticed it in any of the other videos nor did I notice it when driving to that extent. More or less hoping the microphone at the rear license plate giving some kind of clue of 'something' but it looks like "spin stuff and see if you can notice it" is the way forward here. I could be smart and use the gopro mic and re-mount it to that location to see if the sound is still present at low speed actually. Sounds like a decent test whenver I have the CBF'ness to drive the car again. Given it's almost 40C for the day of the track day and the next 3 days after, the CBF is high. All I've done since getting home is unpack the car, remove the remnants of the lip and undertray and left it there. I was surprised how well the PMU Club Racers actually worked. The brake performance on the track was absolutely fantastic, best I've ever personally used, no fade whatsoever and the bitiness was almost too good, I was scrubbing more speed off than I needed to, but I also ended up infield when I started trying to scrape off ... less speed.... so...
