Well yesterday I took the Glanza to Santa Pod for Jap Show, was unlimited runs on the Sunday, so thought I'd make the most of it and get plenty of runs in as I hadn't taken it down with the TD04 set up.

There wasn't a huge turn out on our stand, infact 4 cars.

Did a couple of runs before this happened, previous to this my best time was a 14.4 @ 104, could not get of the line, so softened my suspension up in hope to stop tyre hop but never got to find out as the CV joint sheared its self!

Sheered my CV Joint at the hub, not ideal!

So after hours of waiting, finally got recovered!

We got the car back to the unit at about quarter to10, so whilst I was there quickly whipped what was left of the CV joint out. Here's how it looked,

So the car is in its usual place, up on axle stands again!

All in all, good day out! lol

Fuck that tho!

Haha, never seen them before! They're tasty, but expensive...

Mmmmmm. Uprated shafts.....

Bad news Jamie. U gonna have any good luck soon?

I just laugh these days, you've got to lol! All part of tuned cars and using them I suppose!

Not bad 798 quid

Slightly tooo expensive for me, unless I break a shaft/cv joint evey time I go to pod, then I might think about it :p

Was gutted to see this like this yesterday dude, glad you got it back okay though :)

Looked like you was struggling putting the power down on the runs i seen :(

Yeah, me too, was a late one! They nearly wouldn't recover us, after 4 hours being on the phone to RAC they gave in!

Yeah, was struggling big time man, 32psi in the tyres and suspension as hard as they go didn't help!

So yesterday I put the new CV joint on, along with new boot which all came as one kit!

Thought I'd take it for a steady drive to see how it hold up, here's the pics ;)

Max 1.42bar and 7475rpm. The CV joint held up, just have to wait and see if it goes again at Santa Pod in a few weeks!
