Cochyn Posted March 14, 2020 Author Share Posted March 14, 2020 Nurburgring trip was successful, but had to change a bearing on the front and the rear diff bearings finally started to whine after 30 years. I should have changed them when doing the Weir Performance MaxGrip upgrade 6 years ago, but I was being cheap and they were ok-ish then. Ah well Stopped off in Brugge for the last night away, knocking back some serious beer and chocolate 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cochyn Posted March 14, 2020 Author Share Posted March 14, 2020 Slight issue came up the last time the wheel bearings gave up the ghost at the Nurburgring. Excessive movement meant the calipers touched the inside of the wheels. With the wheel bearings sorted, I've shaved the calipers a touch so it won't happen the next time bearings fail. Just need to get a bit of paint on them and have the inside of the wheels re-coated now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cochyn Posted March 14, 2020 Author Share Posted March 14, 2020 Thanks to Toby (Caddyshack) for flagging this up. Practical Performance Car magazine done a nice little follow up review of the car following the 2016 feature. Cheers guys! :) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cochyn Posted March 24, 2020 Author Share Posted March 24, 2020 Being an NHS employee, I can't really mix with people before I go back to work on Tuesday. So passing some time doing odd jobs. Started with the dodgy air breather port. Before And after ??????? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cochyn Posted March 24, 2020 Author Share Posted March 24, 2020 Alternator heat shield mounting lugs damaged and a crack through the middle, so done the worst quick carbon skinning job I've ever done lol But not visible and is strong, it'll do. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cochyn Posted March 26, 2020 Author Share Posted March 26, 2020 Self isolating in the back garden to get some sun, so had to move the car out of the way. She looks good sitting in the sun :) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cochyn Posted April 24, 2020 Author Share Posted April 24, 2020 Few more jobs completed while it sits doing nothing for the rest of the year most likely 😞 Brake lines needed renewing a bit, so rear lines have new fittings and went for full new kit on the front. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do a work placement in 2 hospitals and a week before lockdown there was 3 confirmed and 5 suspected cases of covid19 patients in my ward.

Cochyn Posted August 23, 2020 Author Share Posted August 23, 2020 Not many updates recently, weather been hit and miss so limited opportunities to play. But booked in for the roof and a couple of other areas to be painted by Robbo in a week or so. Otherwise, sorted out some flaking issues on the rear spoiler. 1 good summer's day to paint in the garden, turned out mint after a flat and polish. ??????? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cochyn Posted September 4, 2020 Author Share Posted September 4, 2020 Some extensive damage was caused to my AP Racing rotor during the annual trip to the Nurburgring in 2018, when the wheel bearing collapsed causing the hub to slant and the brake pad retaining lug in the caliper scored the inner side of the rotor. So it's sat rusting in the spares bin, until I decided to make a clock out of it. Nice momento to display on the wall to remind of "fun" times lol Thanks Dave (Monster) for knocking up an epic 3D center piece. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
