My mate didn't hear it go when it did during a launch (R-tyres, anti-lag, broke one on both ends) :eek:

A sort of knocking sound normally during cornering.

So it doesn't stop you driving? Or is it best to not drive?

I've heard Bob R's went once on a test launch with his fav test road but that dug into the ground.:(

Its ok to drive for a while, just keep an eye on any noise increase, vibration etc. I am trying to find out where to get a replacement for mine cos its started to knock slightly.

mine went , snapped clean in half , couldn't have sawn it any cleaner :D

only 200 miles from home :(


doing a launch at a drag event , 6500 rpm, drop clutch and bang , followed by whiring . limped back to the pits , luckily Bob Rawle was with me who diagnosed the problem and did his best to sort it, but we just didn't have enough tools etc


so, got towed home :(
then towed to my sponsors garage , found a 99 uk being scrapped on e-bay so bought all 4 shafts for 100 quid :D

fitted f.o.c ;)

always carry the other 3 with me now, the rears are sided, the fronts aren't, so i have a spare for each corner now.
