Lauren 2259 Report post Posted March 8, 2015 My old friend Toni get's her new Gialla GT86 next week. In order to celebrate and ingratiate her into the fold, I thought we'd have a social meet down in St Albans on Saturday 21st March at 2pm. I'm going to say 2pm at the pub for a meet as I've got a three hour drive down from Manchester. I guess we can go for a drive out then come back and have some food, something like that anyway! Or we could have lunch then go for a drive to somewhere else. Up to you guys, but it'll be fairly straightforward I hope. If you'd like to join us, please add your name to the list. Here's a link to the pub which is dog friendly so expect Indy in attendance! http://www.wheathampstead.net/cross-keys/ 1. Lauren, Mark and Indy 2. Toni and Simon 3. Speedy 4. Gremlin 5. Chris 6.

Lauren 2259 Report post Posted March 14, 2015 Just a thought. If we are getting there for 2pm, do we want to stop for a quick drink and chat, then go for a drive out and return for dinner? Does that work for people? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GT86Jay 202 Report post Posted March 15, 2015 I can't make this now. Driveshaft Inner CV problems. Don't want to risk the distance until I get it changed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lauren 2259 Report post Posted March 16, 2015 Sorry to hear that Jay. Is that potentially a result of lending your driveshaft to a certain person? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GT86Jay 202 Report post Posted March 16, 2015 No, this is the other side. Looking around its a result of lowering the car and adding power over time, due to the geometry of the driveshaft / diff in relation to the inner CV joint. Seems common in the US. Starts with a clicking from the rear then turns into a conplete break. Ive got it booked in at toyota on thursday, ill make another thread with all the findings. If it turns out to just be a lose bolt / trim. I'll still make it to the meet. 1 GREMLIN reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Special K 442 Report post Posted March 17, 2015 That's unfortunate for you, Jay - but very interesting and possibly significant.. Was it the inner CV joint which gave up on Adrian's car? Spec K Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GT86Jay 202 Report post Posted March 17, 2015 That's unfortunate for you, Jay - but very interesting and possibly significant.. Was it the inner CV joint which gave up on Adrian's car? Spec K Keith - Have a read of this thread, http://www.gt86.org.uk/forums/topic/2505-driveshaft-inner-cv-problems-on-lowered-gt86s/#entry38463 It was the same problem Adrian's Car had. Inner CV. Mine was the opposite side though. Lets keep driveshaft chat to the other thread to keep this one clean about the meet. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
