Dead, dead , dead.

You will always find a tiny bit of in and out movment on the turbine shaft but there should be no lateral side to side movment atall

I know :lol:

I knew it was on its last legs when i ran it at the Japshow at the pod a few weeks ago, thats why i trailered the car there. It had some in and out play & up and down, but after 3 runs up the strip it feels like you could nearly pull the shaft out the housing theres that much play in it :shock: I reckon theres 5mm of endfloat on the fooker :lol:

No wonder it wouldnt hit 1.5 bar going up the strip :lol:

The camera dosent even show the full extent of how f**ked it is either, you wont believe the amount of in/out movement on the shaft :lol: It feels like the thrust bearing has totally collapsed :shock: I'll whip it off tomorrow night for a better look :lol:
