    Didn't get chance to re-do the stickers along the sides so the rear quarter panel is still a little too high. But other than that, really happy!

    Finally had the car out on a trackday a couple of weekends back. Car handled amazingly in the wet, was so happpy with it. As I was driving in the rear of the car dropped slightly with a worrying bang. I thought it was a flat tyre, drove gingerly back and as I pulled up I found myself looking worryingly towards the sky. With a puzzled face I got out the car to find the rear wheel had just fallen off. Face down on the floor. 1 more lap and that wouldve been a very messy 120+ mph crash over Avon Rise.

    Well anyway, stub axle snapped in half. I think the grease cap fell off on track allowing all of the wheel bearing grease to come out. The wheel bearing then got so hot it seized and bang game over. Close call that I don't wish to re live.

    Putting the car back together this weekend ready for llandow on 16th

    Not good mate this happened to me at 70 with 5 people in the car and inside lane of motorway wheel ended up on inside lane of opposite side with the oncoming traffic

    the culprit was me over tightening the rear bearing to much earlyer as a fitted new shoes you were lucky there
