Any updates? It feels like a lifetime since the last video. Are you at Snetterton this weekend?

What was the problem in the end Nick ?
@nospeedlimits777710 күн бұрын
Hi, I've been following your monster A3 for long time.. you own big pot garrett g turbo.. 700 tons of hp.. so why are you using little synchro 02M gearbox than big synchro 02A? More 4th gear and holed shafts issue with 02M. Lots of parts to beef to make it reliable. What I see once they put less pitch bigger gears inside 02A they can move mountains. But you went your way. Why?

I've had a look through the comments but can't see an answer! Is this on 99 or E85?

Hey Nick I've just started watching your series on the A3 as I'm preepping my S3 for track days. So I figured I better start watching yours
@PaulOffordRacingАй бұрын
I don't think the order matters much, Nick. The only thing I find frustrating is if we get a video showing part one and the second part doesn't come out for months. Regular is good in whatever order.
@alexfox337Ай бұрын
out of curiosity, did you weld the 34mil tube to the inner skin + the sill? or did you somehow get enough room to weld it directly to the chassis where you pushed it through the hole. Just wondering, starting to dive deep into tracking my golf 4 and my sills are shot
@Chilled_MackersАй бұрын
Glad you are still on track for Brands, we'll see ya there! Playlists, never underestimate the use of playlists. As for results, BARC exists along with other outlets for results - so I wouldn't worry about 'spoilers' (unless its attached to your car) 😆

Main shaft bearings 100% in the grarbox
@forrestetiАй бұрын
Is the crank pulley moving when you press the clutch. If it is it could be crank thrust washers.

It does sound like a thrust bearing.

Try Transgear in Southampton nick. I know people that have used him before and said he has done a good job. Fairly common box so may be able to sort you out if you take the box in. Its worth a shout

Flywheel gone
@danielbrydon3869Ай бұрын
I’d imagine it’s the input shaft where you’d normally shim it, under the cap. Could the dog box be putting excess pressure on that bearing? I believe there’s a limit on how much preload you can add with the shims, 3 shims IIRC so it’ll probably need that bearing replaced if the gap is too much

It's bearing or possibly play in your flywheel?

sounds like a bearing cant help any more than that nick drop box an hope its fixable before brands .
@nordicbeastАй бұрын
Throwout bearing is usually opposite. Push the clutch in, and it gets louder. Gotta be inside the box. Maybe contact mike hood. He does tons of transmissions for the b5 platform. Scott @ advanced automotion as well. Is a huge transmission guru for audi/vw

You must but your family first, it’s all ways good to see you back on KZbin anytime. You have done a lot of work on your car so taking a step back in the long term it will pay off. I hope to see in September 😊 keep up the good work.
