Hello sports fans! After breaking down on the way home with a suspect diff problem i thought i'd start this thread, mainly so that people can post pics/stories about the probems they had on the way to and from the show, or also while they were there. enjoy... This was my actual problem: Recon clutch with 60 miles on it, from my house to Santa Pod and most of the way back.

Must be too much power to rip the middle out of it like that Mine ran fine down and back so I was pleased with that after the work I had to do in getting it ready.

all went well for me! had a great time.
i was very concerned about the diff which is getting rather noisy and the over heating problem (being caused by my rad being half blocked!) but it made it. got abit hot on the way back and it now seems on two or 3 acaisons after a run it would cough and splutter abit when i restarted it for a few moments - fuel vapourisation i would say so need to look into that.
now reading about 350miles more than on saturday...
was a great show!!

Fine cruise to and from the Pod for me. Only bad thing was being possibly caught by two Truvelos when I got a bit lost. The future of my license hangs in the balance a bit, really. 40 limit dual carriageway is stupid.

it doesn't matter if it's a Morris Marina or a Toyota Celica - it's what you do with it that counts

My head gasket went on my primera daily driver, will find out tomorow when I remove the head if that is all that's wrong, I suspect its far worse as I began to lose power before I saw the vertical needle on the temperature guage

I'm not sure who did the recon, i got it from someone who gets them done. Glad to hear its not just my car that seems to have an overheating problem as well, although with the front rad now in and working its all good... nice and low temp That driveshaft looks a bit, er, well shafted ;D Was that from launching?

I had a slight driveshaft mishap on my first run down the quarter ;D -Ed Well if you will go building a car in a week! Sunny behaved perfectly, even during the massive traffic jam in sweltering heat during the jaunt to Dartford. I on the other hand broke, due to heat and dehydration. Right at the wrong time as well, had a dude from Banzai talking to me about the stand whilst I was laying down in the dark in my car and then had to go and make my little announcement.

Hey Ratdat! I brought you some beer, but I never saw you, so I brought the bloody stuff home again! Hey-ho! Didn't realise you were going to be there until Darren told me you were about. We'll have to catch up sometime when you're here next (or I make it over there!) In the mean time I insist you drink that beer on my behalf ;D -Ed
