White van must of thought....WTF!lol
^^ i thought the same lol
Sounds epic. Goes well
As said, you should totally upload that to pornhub lol
It would be good to get this out on track with mine at some point see how they compare. I doubt there would be much in it.
That’s a cracking test, you must get a support bra though due to excessive man boob wobble lol
I disagree, your pedalling skills will be evidentQuote:

Well it certainly hasn't been built for comfort! Lol
Love that sequencal box. Needs a 2nd seat so you can scare the shit out of everyone doing passenger laps.
Need to update my project now... lol

Took the car to Sywell for the VBOA show.
There was a little test strip of runway for hooning about, had a few runs on Saturday and then early Sunday morning.
Too much lock and right foot led to a blown inner CV on the end of the equal shaft setup.
I think it had been knocking from brand new so may have been knackered out the box. I'm investigating plunge tomorrow and will check it all adds up ok.

Sounds epic. shame about the mechanical failure, but I guess it's just teething problems.
Yeah to be expected.Quote:

We manufactured to some 10mm spacers today and I've added them.

All set and ready for tomorrow.
Where's the bonnet?
Removed cos I had to que for each run and it was 'king hot!!!Quote:

I know ATB's aren't as good, but I can't be dealing with diff problems, removing engine and box each time if the plates wear or the ramp angles aren't right or whatever.
I'm not going to worry about the 1 second a lap slower that I'll be, I just want the car to work every time I take it out.
Changed my mind, ordered a gripper, will be with me Saturday, box and diff off to a Quaife approved specialist to be installed and back to me hopefully in time to go in the car for me to make it to Brands 23rd July
Do you not find the thing dangling from where the rear view mirror would be rather distracting?!Quote:

Take it its a tran x your removing from the box then?
Good to have a poke round the car at the weekend and speak to you in regards to it, looking forward to seeing it get some abuse over the next few months!
Thanks mate, John at Gripper advises for a strong track setup for the diff, not the harshest they do as I still want occasional road use but next one down.Quote:

Taking it to Quaife in the morning, hoping they can explain!!
Oh that doesn't look healthy
For the record the yellow man is ridiculous and I didn't even get out of the pits before removing it.
That looks like teeth edges or dog ring edges.... be interested to see inside..... :(Quote:

I've told them I want photo evidence of where those bits are from!! They can't just tell me "oh it's this....." I want to see!!
It's done 1 trackday so whatever it is it's at their cost!!!
Where is the magnet located?
I've seen Xtrac and quaife dog edges be like this on lower magnets from the sump...
Yes if superfinished should be mirror almost....
Photos will be very interesting and i would be surprised if they do... but id be pushing hard for it....
Totally agree... but Quaife have a way of putting it down to something they would deem beyond there control like oil type or something small and silly.... keep trying though and should get there... i know various people they have tried to fob off with things like this going wrong early in the products life...
Directly under the crown wheel and diff.Quote:

If they claim oil type then I fail to see how an oil could cause the edges of teeth or dogs to break off.......we'll see I guess!!

What ramp angles did you go for?? I’ve just got a gripper for my 1400 tarmac nova rally car and went for 45/90 & heavy preload. But untested yet!Quote:

Have Quaife given you any estimation as to when they will respond to you with their cause?
are there any independent gearbox places you could take it to in case it ends up going down a legal route?
I guess there are independent places to take it. I'm not ready to go there just yet.Quote:

If, however it needs a specific part manufactured then I guess it could be 10-12 weeks for that!!!
I don't see how they can say it's anything other than their problem, by their own admission this is a "motorsport" product that's done 20 trackday laps of Mallory park..........so if the box is screwed then that tells me it's certainly not fit for motorsport purpose!!
We know of 2 separate Hondas running this sequential box (albeit in a different casing), drag racing with nearly 700 horses without issue. I'm leaning towards it being completely diff related, hence the gripper diff purchase.
The issue I might have is it's 12 months old now, but I can easily show the progress of the car has meant that the box has only been "active" for 3-4 weeks but they don't offer warranty anyway so.....
Let's wait and see what they come back with before I get too bent out of shape.
