    What's up with normal spilt pins?

    We all know that Mr House, as a dedicated member of Team Shonky, just loves to get his hands dirty and change the odd hub or driveshaft/CV on their track day outings. This little tweek save oh seconds, also it looks cool....

    As for the new shell, it is going to be interesting to see just how much corrosion is hiding under the underseal, anyone running a sweepstake on just how bad it will be
    I love a good build thread, so heaven knows why I'm here...

    Nothing at all, just another thing to forget to put in the track-day box!! Plus the SS pins are actually lighter!!

    You know me Mr Tall, every millisecond counts!! When you spend aslong as we do in the pits, anything you can do to reduce that time helps!!

    As for the new shell, to be fair, we poked, prodded and peeled a fair bit of underseal at Craig's unit and uncovered most of the worst of it.

    As for the sweepstake, I'll put £10 in that it costs me 3 more days work!!!

    Err sneaking this one in under the radar, go on then just which one of the Tilton units are you going for, quite fancy the underfoot cylinder version myself...

    Remember the coversation about dry sumping that was had ten pages or so back? Might be time to reconsider that one before the shell prep gets going full steam, might be a good idea to notch out the off side chassis rail to make room for it, afterall it won't cost too much more than the Tilton pedal box (complete with all its the ancillary schizzle)...

    As for having a contingency of three days pay for the shell prep, just how much are you earning...

    The 600 series as Craig has, with stubby cylinders, I looked at the reverse pedal box but we're concerned it'll add too much height, we might look again, see how it all looks.

    I remember said convo!! I need to have a think, engine wont be going in for a while, so I've still got time, chassis rail cut out is doable.

    As for my daily earinings...................

    I'll bring a sticker but you need a mechanical failure to earn it!

    I'm a little concerned about drive by noise testing at bedford. Hopefully we'll be ok.

    I'm sure if today is anything to go by the mechanical failure will not be a problem ,my exhaust will be fine ,I'm hoping my airbox will keep the induction down ,does anybody know where the meters are 😀
