17th Feb my 1st run was a real d'oh-fest!
Fitted Yeah-racing 501 cvd's, 501 shocks,3-racing towers, modified 501 steering brace, Ti screw set, belt 'tensioners', slipper set, one-way, D4 serrated wheel nuts...

heat one; massive oversteer; lost a rear cv shaft....
---replaced with stock dogbones, stiffened front susp/softened rear susp, replaced oneway with stock diff.

heat two; oversteer less of an issue; rear tie rod screw undid itself (same side).

heat three; finished 3 laps down....slipper felt loose but was tightened almost all the way.

A final: travelled 50m and had no drive to the wheels
Went home.

Found out looking at the slipper exploded diagram that I'd installed the slipper plates back-to-front...."D'oh!" the run had melted a small part of the centre of the spur...I had to rub back the face of one of the slipper plates to get rid of some scoring that occured on fine sandpaper ...I think it'll be ok. Gawd !
