[Hosky]

shit man, hope your okay! lovley looking car btw mate, gorgeous!

[Mr C]

Well, just when I though I was clear - this morning at 6 am on my way to work the b*stard thing decided to throw a wheel off!! Turns out one of the spacers only had 2 nuts on it underneath the wheel and the studs sheered off!!

Noo! Not a fan of the yellow but that's one nice looking S13, hope it's not too badly damaged.

[Matthew]

**** I'd say that was a shit the pants moment

[Philz0r]

holy crud @@"!!!!!

are you alright? how did it turn out?

[Micraplay]

Yeah fine, luckily it was low speed and just around the corner from my house. Minor scarring to the rear wheel arch but nothing to bad. Small pot hole completely sheered the two studs that were bolted up! Managed to get it jacked up and wheel back on. Off the road again now while I sort out replacing the studs. No biggy really thank god!!

[VIDAL BABBOON]

So that was the knocking then lol

[Philz0r]

4 years off the road, and then this :/ a lesson i think, check wheel nuts ect after a sorn :P

[Micraplay]

No that wasnt the knocking. That's deffo driveshaft

Mine spent two years sorned. Bought it standard, sorned it, and spent two years sorting the rust, swapping bits from my older S14 onto it and fitting new bits. Then one Friday morning a few weeks ago I lowered it down from the axle stands, washed it, and took it for an MOT. It passed, insurance certificate arrived Monday morning, then I went and taxed it, took it for some new tyres on the Tuesday (just MOT legal the back ones were) and set off on a 1200mile road trip to Le Mans as its first proper road trip. Brave... or stupid?

So do we have enough 200sx in the North West to stage a meetup some time now then?

[woods1]
