Ah the saga continues. Apparently shipping on the 17...of December. Inshallah

Maybe...I was told there would be no guarantee of delivery on or by the 17th even though that's the date they gave, so take their delivery dates with a grain of salt.

:D

Do you think thats enough...lol sigh

Ha! well no one can say you haven't been keeping good humour and patience about it all that's for sure..

yes!...and that word would be NO. From memory Andrew said they intended to ship on that date, so I'm not expecting anything for another few days *fingers crossed*

The saga continues. Still, TAS in 3 weeks and that will cheer me up no end...woowhoo cars then snow!!!

Not much snow around these parts mr Keets...been unusally warm and raining...dont believe the snow reports from Niseko as they are over hyped bullcrap..There is some decent snow forecast for next week but!

Much better off piste terrain at Hakuba, just watch the ski patrol..absolute nazis!

All good otherwise?? so much for them straight fit..

Cheers

NO IT WONT!

I have been corrected with how it happened.

Street tyres! Change from 1st in 4000rpm to 2nd which would be 3000rpm with not even 3 pound of boost very light driving to check diff change.

BANG! BANG! RATTLE RATTLE!

Carbon all over the road and a major piece being on the side of the road, under the car the bolting mounts for the standard diff have been bent it has tried to come through the floor pretty much.... Customer not happy jan! Seems as though the carbon weave has gone against the glass which means it was going to sheer itself no matter what... 5 months wait for this is a complete and utter joke!

Can you elaborate?

any way to tell if this is a flaw by looking at a non-broken one?

fark! Looking at the original set of pics it looked like the torque unwound it but these shots make it look like it just snapped. I wonder what the QA/AC for these things is?

    • Before all the EFR fan boys come in, have a look at: https://www.garrettmotion.com/racing-and-performance/performance-catalog/turbo/g-series-ii-g30-825-58mm/ It also comes in a T4 1.06 divided housing. I would dare say if you want response & also decent power, this thing would chop.   AND apologies, just re-read your post, you've already bought the turbo... whatever you do, make sure you stick with divided housing and proper twin scroll manifold.
    • People have got to stop doing that. ShatGPT is not a search engine. It is a hallucination factory.   I also would recommend the 1.05. The .83 will "work" for you , in that it will be more responsive, but I think you'll find that it won't be anywhere near as good running it out to 8000rpm as the big housing will be.
    • Decided for the first time ever I would tow my car TO the track day on the same working theory as bringing tools and spares "if I have it I wont need it, but if I leave it behind i will 100% need it" all setup and ready to go out and try these A050 for the first time First session showed I needed to stiffen up the dampers a touch but still managed a few 1:21's without much effort. things were looking good. Came in a dropped the tyres down  to 26/28 as they had gotten to 35/33C from 22C cold The first lap of session two I managed to drop into 1:20's. Then in the second lap into the second session. Coming into T3 and I suddenly lost brake pedal followed by some huge rear end vibrations and scraping sounds. Got it back into the pits after session ended and found this. in the attached video, all of the wobble is in the hub its self, wheel is mint, and bearing feels tight. lKXLqpd - Imgur.mp4   Deciding it was a bent spindle I tried to find bearing/hub assembly locally but was unsuccessful so it was loaded back onto the trailer i luckily brought it on to drag it back home  
    • 1.05 you’ve gotta let it breath 
    • You have to continuously fill it to avoid dry running. Personally the transmissions I've serviced have never been bad enough to justify doing this because it is definitely a pretty complicated and somewhat risky procedure compared to simply draining the pan, measuring what came out, then refilling with the exact same amount.
