Nice site David

Hello David, the website looks very good. All th best ot your lad in the Seat Cupra championship this year. Didnt he drive the now Sandy Arbuthnott 6R4 at Rally day 2006?

Hi Nicky, Yes james did drive the 6r4 at the rally day but that was a one off. can,t afford the repair bills he,s worst than me :lol: But hopefully the seat will be a good championship for him as we don,t know which way rallying going at the moment :?: Will let you know how he gets on

:roll:

David If you get round to taking some pics of the studs I will advertise them for you

Now sorted.

Come on somebody tell me, i have got to ask. curiosity has got the better of me, What the hell is an international wheelstud ? And dont say its for holding your wheels on, I presume there are problems with "standard" studs and they are different ?

rogue the normal wheel studs break/crack in competition so do the new international wheelstud so we have to replace at regular intervals so the wheels dont fall off hope this helps

Thanks for info lee. I find that very bad, a wheel stud that cant last ? There is something wrong there then. Either the stud aint thick enough in the first place or they are just not made out of the right stuff. or something. Yes i know i havent got an original car, but ive been racing off road for 25yrs and we never have that problem, and surley our wheel studs get far more abuse, bigger wheels gives more leverage on the stud, heavier wheels, heavier cars, rougher terrain, more jumping and landing. You might think i am talking a lot of rubbish, but to me there is something wrong that should be able to cured. We used to break sector shafts and we cured it, then diffs, then half shafts, all sorted now, but a wheel stud ? there has to be more to this tale surley.

To be honest Rogue I dont think your talking rubbish. Makes sense to me although Im not that good mechanically lol

nothing wrong rogue, nature of the sport we are in they call it preventative maintainance so what car do you race off road...........the forces in tarmac rallying are often harder on transmission brakes etc than on loose surface were the body shell takes the hammering and less so on transmission brakes etc

Still cant get my head round the wheel stud thing. Shouldnt have to change studs on some sort of regular basis, but if thats what you have to do ? I now run a self built 6R4. (copy), Full space frame, all fibreglass body, 4 wheel drive, double wishbones all round, M3 engine. sequential box.
