what there is of it as it rained most of the day
robbie sheered the os cv clean where it goes in the bearing
his run was at 10.00 mins where you see the car ver towards the barrier
hopefully he gets a sucessfully run today if its not raining there
well done scott 15.5 was good for your 1 only sucessful run:agree:
enjoy mick:agree:
Had to give it a miss as low on money.
Shame about robbies shaft breaking. Did he get a run in??
That blue r35 and the roller looked rapid, terminal speeds of 160 ish!
hey jon, philr5t and dave reed drove for 2hrs and sourced a spare rob was going to repair and try again but the heavens opened and they cancelled it, he was going to try again today weather dependant but he wasnt sure if the sourced shaft would fit, he will post shortly i expect boss:agree:Quote:

hello everyone
it was a no go again today as the driveshaft was not a match for the splines, I would like to thank everyone from rtoc that turned up at pod that helped me yesterday and scoff for great customer service sending new remaps by email so my car was able to go to pod and also andy aka logg who help me all week data logging high speed runs in my 5 as passenger:D maybe next time whats another year:cry:
picture of snapped added below:eek:
Cracking little day and good turn out of RTOC bods :agree: just a shame the weather and the cars didn't want to play ball. :cry:
I myself had issues. :cry: Mainly with the wonderful rainbow pattern spreading from under my car, which after thinking I'd trashed my new radiator turned out to be the fan switch needed nipping up. Then it started leaking oil from the oil banjo so nipping that up sorted that don't think I've ever gone near that in five years. :sad2: I took that as a sign from the gods of GTT's to no run. Plus I didn't want to drop any fluids on the track after the pod staff spend 5 hours prepping the track. Which seemed very grippy with very good times being posted by people with low terminal speeds.
Well done to Scott on his first time at the pod 15.5 is a good starting point. :agree:
Was cool to see a Renault 5 stock car and all the other mighty impressive machinery running some proper quick cars and go karts. :smokin:
for crash and those that didnt see previouslyQuote:

The other possibility is to switch to VW outers, which seem very strong. I need to find a VW drive flange to see if it can be turned down to press in to a Renault bearing.
Not to sure on this but could vw hubs be modified on the 5 subframe to accept the full vag driveshafts ??
Chris, are you and Robbie using the CV's that are 32 splines internally and 23 splines through the hub?
