So Corsakid and I took the the 2 silver Novas for a blat around Llandow on Saturday... With our mate Rich in his Evo 8.

Day started off very wet and grey!:mad: But as soon as we arrived it brightened up and was a belter of a day.

On the first session, mine decided that it was bored of the track and refused to select gears! :( I was only taking it easy too... but I easily mashed an Exo 6&7 and a few Caterhams! :)

Kris in his lasted 2 sessions, having snapped his driveshaft, after fitting some slicks... it seems that they didnt like the slick/plate diff combo and snapped on a tight left hander! :(

Here are some pics.... it turned out that mine had snapped 3 of the ARP flywheel bolts flush with the crank!! :eek: And the flywheel was just dancing around in the bell housing!!!!!

Managed to get ger all fixed today though PHEW!!!

Oh dear.... Glad its all fixable.

Would be good to see some EVO's being owned though.

Its a 45 minute drive and it cost £60, so it was a steal.

I managed to sell my track time too for £30 after my flywheel incident, so I was less annoyed!

Just glad I hadnt driven to Knockhill and it happened! lol

Blimey, that could have been uber nasty if the ole flywheel made a bid for freedom at maximum revvage! Glad its all fixed :)

Tell me about it... I stopped halfway around on one lap as it wouldnt go into geat properly... my mater just said.. 'sounds like the exhaust is blowing - must be clutch' so I nailed it back on track through the gears, with only 3 bolts holding the flywheel on! :eek:

Unlucky guys, nice to hear it's nothing serious!

Kris, get on to Dicky (rallyslag3 on here) for a pair of his unbreakable shafts!

Next one is only 6 weeks away, July 12th - booking is open now :)
