What have you done to your car today?

[viperidae]

I looked at it parked outside the garage and thought about moving it inside

[dubbedup]

looked at it on jacks and went...tomorrows another day

[madmike]

Put My RS in the shed up on axle stands and Linda and i began removing gearbox and diff in preparation for V3RA DCCD box and diff conversion..

BTW.. Found a good way to not get smelly gearbox oil on your hands....

Just get Linda to remove the drain bung!!!!

I dropped the bung last time i removed it. and had to go fishing in the bucket...

Linda had hands of gold!!!!

Use the back bolt from the A/C - alternator bracket for the clutch slave (the one between the bracket and the intake manifold).

[Guest]

Got the sounds wired up.

Finally.

Used mans best friend the angle grinder on some piping for the cold air intake.

[Guest keltik]

I think i broke my input shaft bearings. After a spirited drive just off the limiter in 5th for ~10k's (on a closed private road) It makes a rattly whirring noise in neutral now. Goes away with the clutch in.

Also nearly put a gearbox through my rear window. Wasnt very secure after all EJ20T

The carputer also died after i hit a bump on the matata straights. Turned out the power cord fell out, and there i was panicking!

[sirwrx]

I been working on polishing up these 14 inch alloys to go on the RX coupe.

2 on the left have been done.

so thats the meaning of panic at the disco (in keltiks wagon)

[Scoobydoo]

Didn't do it today, but got my faux-carbon roof diffuser on now

[Guest boostin]

I really don't see the point of those, other than rice.

[kwikaus]

good point! would be keen to hear wether or not they have a areo use and weather or not it is noticedable in a road car, but they do look nice

[Scoobydoo]

You're probably right, but I got it cheap enough to warrant buying, and it goes well with my carbon wing, so it actually looks pretty good on the car.

[dubbedup]

Finally filled up the gearbox with fluid and fixed some other minor issues, took her for a cautious drive round the block testing that everything was alright, which it was so took her for a wee strop out in the woods, much happier as a 4wd.

sounds like you had your foot resting on the clutch for that 10k and cooked the thrust/release bearing

does it make that sound while driving? is more like a chattering noise?

Na.. Won't be that with Kelt. That boy can drive!...

If you only knew what that poor gearbox has been through.... LOL!!!

[Guest keltik]

I found an ingenious method of securing it and will pass on this knowledge when you come to pick it up!

Nope not a release bearing, I use my foot-rest for resting my foot and my clutch pedal for making the tires squeel.

[DRFVDR]

could be spigot bearing did u replace it when u did the conversion

Oh and I may know of a GTB box for sale will ask how much had new bearings and seals thrown at it,comes with a new clutch and flywheel
