mini update had a little photoshoot with my mate Kat in her mx5, cars wernt clean but we were bored and it was a good day.
cars floating on water haha
I had a problem with my hub and driving 400miles with 3 studs and nuts problem free, i had a new hub ready to go on but as i was getting some spacers machined down i was waiting for them to come back before fitting it. After the ace cafe i hit a dip in the road at 70mph and 2 of the nuts came loose, i tightened them up and the didn't drive it again until i went to get the hub replaced. went a mile down the road and stopped off for breakfast before going to get the hub replaced and it was loose again, tightened them up as hard as i could and from one end of the car park to the other they loosened yet again. i decided to take the risk of tightening them up again and lipping it to the nearest garage 1/4 down the road. About 25meters from the garage i pulled over and found this.....
yet another stud missing and one barely held in :/ i popped to the garage over the road and they couldn't fit me in and as i had a show the next day i desisted to pay to get recovered and taken to a garage (which my mate organised for £100 for recovery and repair minus parts)
While changing the hub the new wheel baring went in and collapsed so had to fork out for yet another one (they tested it and gave me money back) but while they were putting the hub back on with a snap on gun and a spanner they accidentally dropped the spanner onto my wheel which was below the car and chipped it in a few places they are fixing it but still. Should be collecting it monday, fingers crossed its a good job as i said if you paint it they have one attempted otherwise im taking it to my own place for £80
heres a good shot from modified nationals
heres a shot from a cruise in stevenage
And heres my new gear nob had it for months but finally got round to fitting it which fitted surprisingly easy
Also emptied the air tank with any build up of water, mate though there would be loads in but only about a shot full of crap
