well i have done you all proud, did so many donuts that i compleaty spat out and chewed a driveshaft in the process LOL

will have to ring AS performance 2moro morning to see if they have any second hand units

its the same shaft i have had problems with before, it has popped out the cv joint 2 times previously, theres no chance of it going back in now as theres no splines left on it PMSL

theres a big wide flat carpark down the links road near whitley bay, it was dead and untouched

so i abused it

some old bloke came over and told me to "never come back here again or i will report you to the police for disturbing the residents"

i told him to **** off

and then found that i couldnt get out the car park as one of the drive shafts was spinning PMSL

nursed it home and dumped it one the drive

nice primera taxi took me into work

last year just for ritchie

http://www.sticky-micky.com/micky/donuts1.wmv

yeah i know i messed the spelling up, on the plus side of my woes
yesterday i pulled up at sum lights and there was smokey stuff coming from the bonnet vent

diagnosed that today while sorting the shaft, the rad cap on the header tank, the part that actualy joins with the header tank that the car screws onto, has a tiny little hole, will order a forge polished bling one or sumthing 2moro, and when i took my alloy of this morning i found a screw through the tyre, which was nice

i can see today being slightly dead @ work, theres only me, a laptop, broadband and a ps2 for company lol, best get the kettle on

Must all that extra weight you've saved and cooler temps from the slam panel.
Also not forgetting at least 50bhp from the bling factor

Damn right, unfortunately I went from a healthy 1200kg up to 1400kg with less power

Anyway hope the car is back on the road shortly and is not too expensive to fix,
I'm off for a sausage sandwich late breakfast is calling

Well me and the boys took advantage of my whole massive work car park all to ourselves, had a nice 3 hour play session. I've got the tight little doughnuts sorted now, and was doing the big drifting type around my mates cars. Came close to kissing bumpers a few times, and nearly splatted my mates M3 BMW. All in all a good lesson in learned..... if in doubt, bray 2nd gear with full lock left steer!!! My mate Jim is sick though, we had to push his car off the car park and its now sitting there looking sorry for itself outside my office and he is off arranging it to get towed him.... well I told him its all about the AWD but he wouldn't listen. We took about 20 mins off good video, if there's anything good I'll try and get it off Jim to stick some screen captures on here.

Afternoon all,
Been out for a blast this morning as you do in the snow. Heard a clonking noise coming from the drivers side front suspension. After a bit of investigating it seems the front strut is $hagged.
Question: How much to replace, and from where can i source one.
MY 94 WRX (import)
