Ok so I fixed a couple of oil leaks today.... Followed that up with a quick test drive, downshifted coming into a roundabout then the dreaded clunk shing shing shing...

I lol'd.

Then frowned. What diff were you running?

1.6 LSD. True to what I had been warned of (thanks Dann) I did notice a strange noise from the driveline on overrun, and thought hmmm that's odd... 5 mins later it let go. Sounds like pinion bearing failed.
I wanted to upgrade anyhow, now there's just more urgency

over run?

Told you mate!

Sorry during light engine braking, ever since the warning I have been pretty gentle with it.

First time I've been excited to break something.... It's upgrade time!

1.8 incoming?

Smokinscotty · Postby **Smokinscotty** » Sun Jul 08, 2012 11:03 pm

But of course! Thinking a Torsten should do... For now.

we all knew your diff would eventually go, time for the upgrade

you should come down to wakefield for the club day mate.

Yeah been tossing up between the club day and the bozzo day...

The confidence was shared by all(self included) that it was going to go, I'm just stoked it happened up the hill from my house so I didn't need a tow/trailer

I'll start trying to take it out tonight.

do the club days and the SOTS that ive thrown up on the forum also

looking forward to 2 track days later in the month

Tbh, the SOTS day really appealed to me, after going out with the gang at Marulan, I had a real blast in that free flowing kind of day. Might not have improved much, but had a heap of fun.
See how the budget holds up

Ok so I got to drive my car for the first time since the bang bang bang incident!
So much joy right now!!!

Went with a 3.9 Torsen, and it has made the car alot nicer to drive, and easier to drive sedately :wink:

I am quite impressed as to how much nicer the car behaves, cant wait to see what it does through the natio tomorrow morning! :twisted:
