hacky

I should be up - probably not in the Type R thought because I have a flat spot on one of my tyres and driving 3 hours on it would be a pain in the ass! lol New yoko didnt arrive in time! So I will be there depending on if I can talk my mate into driving.

Been desperate to see Colin's car for ages! Braveheart, do you have a project / "my car" thread anywhere? Been digging through to find one. Found one or two pics and it looks awesome

Think I will pop up for this one. Just to spectate and see some of these cars hitting the strip! Can't afford to brake anything at the moment! lol

I'm not really clued up on where and when these events happen, is there a website with all the details, events, etc?

Excellent, I love reading the updates on this thread. Would love to come and spectate but they are just too far to go for the day.

So jealous! There is one guy that it only shows very brief clips of and its just sheer terror on his face!

Sorry I never replied earlier just back from holiday today. If you drop the diff off to Kenny first thing in the morning it will be ready that day. As for diffs, try a wanted post on here - JohnS and Archie seem to have a fair stock of differentials! Failing that could always try ebay - I seen quite a few on there.

As above, Kenny is who everyone will recommend. I had to rebuild my rear diff just over a week ago, and kenny got me to source parts for the diff and he simply build me one using the parts from my broken diff and the other I supplied. Charged £130 to build one from the two of them. Plus it cost me £100 for a second diff which I managed to get on here, which was quite lucky. Don't think rebuilding it is something you can do yourself. Yes there are only 3 main parts to a diff but setting them up isn't the easiest. There are adjustment shims inside and you need to set these just right to get the correct backlash, AFAIK. EDIT to say that the 130 doesnt include removing and fitting the diff. But that you should manage yourself no bother.

Thanks mate, I'll update the post with my progress when it comes to fitting it, since there isn't an awful lot out there about them.

I'll be back for this one and I really dont care where we go! lol Im down for route 2 and I dont even know what it is!

I have acquired a mocal oil cooler from one of my mates. However, I need a sandwich plate. I have found genuine mocal adapters both thermostat operated and non on ebay. Would the thermo operated one be the best to go for, considering our climate? Can imagine it taking a fair while to warm up in Winter! Mocal Thermo Mocal Non-Thermo When fitting one of these I take it the oil pressure can cope ok with the additional capacity? Anyone heard any problems with the mocal sandwich adaptors leaking? I think it was user called gc8r or similar had a greddy adapter and it looked good quality however couldnt seem to find one online.

Another update! Drilled the flange on Sunday there and it didnt quite take me 20 minutes but I did get it done! Took a while longer but Im putting that down to my rubbish drill bits (reminder to buy new ones!). First time in a good while I have been able to enjoy driving the car. So again big thanks to all those in the thread especially Archie. Top bloke - even offered to come down on his day off to give me a hand. Again, cheers guys.

Looks like a "lucky" find. Probably a wee eye opener for a lot of people on here, me included.

Having spoken with Archie on the phone I will just drill the flange. It beats trying to bum someone elses car to go up to Hillington to pick up the other one. Think I will just do it in situe as opposed to marking them up and removing the diff to do it, less chance of cocking it up! I knew it would simply be a case of getting the other companion flange from my old diff from Kenny or just drilling it. Looking at it I just assumed I wouldn't manage to drill it with a hand drill but if both of you (John, Archie) and Andy F have managed it, so will I!! Cheers for the call Archie, much appreciated, as is your reply John I'll let you know how I get on tomorrow.
