I should still be fine. Just need to get that pulley sorted :|
-
I hope the crank is ok. I was doing about 30/40 when it happened, it took a second to realise what the noise was as I was decelerating, and it came out and the belt started making a noise as I was coming to a halt. Fingers crossed. Everything else looks ok...

Coming off a roundabout tonight and onto the joining road and hear a clunk and a bit of cluttering around and then the belt starts squealing. The clunking stopped as the offending item flew out from under the car. I stopped and turned off quickly (hadn't been driving hard at all so was still pretty cool temp) and went back to see what it was. Returned with the item and opened the bonnet to match up. It was the crank pulley (or at least its outer ring) that completely dislodged and came out by ripping through the undertray. Great! Got off quite lucky to be honest as it'll be sorted easy enough I hope! Just such an inconvenience!

I don't know my way around Perth very well so wouldn't know where best to suggest? We need to organise this soon though so a majority can accomodate!

Might just be my train of thought, but I see a pecking order when I think of groups of Japanese cars. Supras, Skylines, Evos, Imprezas. There are 4 very known Japanese cars. To me - keep with me here I'm speaking in a roughly general way, not down to a T with my comparisons - the Evo and Impreza are about on a par. They are the rally cars for the road, very quick, reasonably square/boxy looks and are good fun. Following that you have the Supras and Skylines. They are the big grand tourers. They have more presence, nicer lines, more luxuries and the ability to spank those "lesser" cars with relative ease and lack of effort in doing so. To be above the Impreza and Evo, they need to be quick. An NA Supra is not enough to do so. I know it's a silly way of thinking about it, but I do feel that in terms of a "pecking order" that the Supra and Skyline are right at the top and to command that position they need that power aswell. The NAs are great cars by all means, but, personally, when I think of a Supra, I think FAST. To me, the NA isn't that anymore. Depends what you're being relative to of course, but when EK9 Civics, DC2 Integras, VXR Astras etc. etc. will all go by them, that's not enough. Obviously aswell it depends what you want from the car and what you see it as. This is my view - and may be mine only - and it makes me so happy that I chose to have a TT (well, NA-TT). I'd sooner have gotten bored of a facelift 6spd SZ-R (NA) than the 5spd non facelift SZ-TT

To think I was going to go up there for a front badge. They'll probably have some excuse for me...

"Wayhay", "Woohoo" or other such derivatives

Kieran I need to come round and watch this
-
I still think it's ridiculous how out of pocket you've had to be for non clutch issues at no fault of your own. Spoke to Kieran earlier, we can meet tonight and sort the clutch?
-
Only wheel bearing I've ever had to help with was on a Civic and it required a complete hub assembly. Same with Audi A4s as a mate is needing one too. Sorry Rick
-
Nice work I'm sure you'll love it
-
Is it really possible to wear out the clutch in 5 months of only - tame - weekend driving? I'd have thought, given that criteria, that it would surely be fitted wrong to go so quick? :\ Totally gutted for you and these occurances Marc. Knowing how much you adore the thing it's a joke how many issues have happened of late. Never mind the cutting out all the time for 400 miles!

Yeah top speed isn't what I'd be worrying about. 30-70 time is quick though
-
