What an amazing machine. Win a RallyCross Saturday, bolt some street tyres on it, win an autocross Sunday.

Wow that is so sick! Awesome to see how much success you are having in both rally cross and autocross! Cool to see how the car has transformed over the course of the thread.

Will definately stay tuned!

Also adjusted the valves on the right side of the engine, tried to adjust the clutch but I think we need a new helper spring. Adjusted the handbrake.

Well, it finally happened; the RallyCross 911 got beaten in a RallyCross! So now it's for sale. Nah, we're keeping it silly. It did get beaten though but we have an excuse as the clutch was slipping. At least that's Scott's excuse. My excuse was slipping talent. Here's a video of it launching with the slipping clutch. We thought it was tire spin but tires don't smell like that PU.

So do we need a new clutch? We're not sure. The clutch disc was changed last year even though the old one was only 50% gone, but the pedal has felt funny the last few weeks. We thought it was our inability to adjust it properly but upon closer inspection we discovered the helper spring, the horse hoe shaped one under the transmission was binding and possibly taking some pressure off the clutch plate. It also stopped the clutch pedal from coming back up all the way too. That's all freed up now and it seems to be working but we need to test it under race conditions to be sure. Fortunately there's an autocross own the street this Sunday that will be perfect for such an occasion.

Other than this hiccup we finished cleaning up and painting the driver's side floor which meant dealing with the ECU, handbrake and gear stick.

Just need to source a better pedal plate and passenger footrest. The wooden ones fell apart.

A bit of fixing, a bit of improving, then BAM! a whole lot of broken, probably.

We went to adjust the loose wheel bearing last week, the day before the autocross, only to find it was a worn tie rod end instead. Skipped the autocross and ordered up some Turbo tie rods from Pelican. These are what came out. What were you thinking Dr. Porsche?

and the new stuff. An "upgrade" to what every other car manufacturer uses.

Pretty easy to swap in. The hardest part is getting the spring to seat over the bellows but we found rotating the bellows also rotated the unseated portion of the spring.

We also ordered these Rennline foot plates to finish off the interior.

We then sent the car off to the 944FEST to be used for rally demo runs while we visited Niagara Falls with the family. By all accounts it was a big hit. We picked up the car from the venue on Tuesday and took advantage by doing some practice runs for a couple of hours. Unfortunately during this session the gearbox started acting up such that now it won't go into first gear and fifth is a bit stiff to get into as is reverse. SadSadSad We have yet to get into it but suspect broken syncros but hoping for something in the linkage.

Well done on the GRM feature! I was lucky enough to see you blast by me outside of Detroit a few weekends back. I was delivering a new car to a client of mine with BethanyGrace. Car sounded great! It was originally the same color combo as mine, too - ruby red over brown.

Hey, I need to apologize.

Apologize for not updating this thread for a while, I have an excuse: I broke the car. That's not really a good excuse. I could have posted about how I broke the car. Well, I was going to but I realized pretty quickly that I didn't need to race the rest of the year and so I didn't need to fix the car right away so I decided to fix my UR Quattro instead as it hasn't ran for ten months and THEN I forgot to update this thread. Forgive me now?

85 UR quattro - AudiForums.com



So what happened to the Porsche? Well, I think I broke the gearbox during a testing session. It will no longer go into first. There's no grinding or weird feelings. It just wont go in. I don't think I should force it. First was always a bit grindy and we did find some dog teeth on the drain plug last summer if you remember.

Image may have been reduced in size. Click image to view fullscreen.



During the test session I started using first on one particularly slow corner and it would grind sometimes. Then it grinded a little more then the next time I came round it wouldn't go in. All the other gears work though fifth was very stiff at one point and I couldn't get it out of reverse a couple of times. It's out now and fifth and reverse all work fine.

So what have I done and what's the way forward if you excuse the pun?

Consider yourself extremely fortunate that 1st gear synchro ring hasn't peeled away (releasing all the other associated pieces) and gone through the meat grinder. Those synchro teeth are what retains the synchro ring. Mind-blowing lucky, considering that you've raced it since finding those pieces.

No action on repairing the trans yet. Still working on the Quattro. However, we did move the car into our new showroom area, even though it's not really ready yet.

Gearbox came apart quite nicely. No horror stories so far. Just a broken synchro ring and stripped dog teeth. The great news is the main bearing races are not loose in the diff housing and no gears look chewed up. I think we will be rebuilding this one Smile

I made a closer inspection of the gear sets today. Looks like 1st on the main shaft is worn pretty bad. How do we fix that? The rest of them look OK, to me. Are they?

I also got the diff out. Looks like he only issue in there is a missing magnet pick for the speedo ring. Repairable?

Happy New Year everyone. Feels like I've been away from the car for a month yet it's less than a week. Strange.

Tonight I got to look more closely at first gear on the main shaft. I'm concerned this might be worn. What do you think? Doesn't photograph well though.

Then I got to disassemble the pinion shaft.

I gave everything a quick once over and found a few issues. Here's one obvious problem. I don't think that ring is supposed to be around the dog teeth like that and those bent bits used to be inside it!

I'll post more issues tomorrow if I get chance.
