Went and checked tailshaft seems phasing is ok, it was done by tailshaft services in geelong, would be one helluva stuffup if they got that wrong due to the fact that's all they do, but i'm sure it has happened, so better to check everything. Yeah, the reason the front pinion ran out the first time was the fact that they had used the wrong I.D pinion bearing, you could drop it on the pinion from about 10 feet that's how loose it was on the shaft, so much for checking your initial assembly to make sure you have the right parts...Am appreciating all the input, it helps to make sure you have'nt done something stupid.. But it's certainly looking like a worn part has been missed on the second re-build...

Have the driveshafts out to the wheels been phased correctly when shortened....Just trying to eliminate other possibilities... I seen alot of funny things happen...also if the unijoints in these shafts haven't been replaced they are possibly worn... then when you put them in the cobra and work them at greater angles they can vibrate because the needles are trying to work through the worn spots on the cup and the uni

On my first track day outing I heard this horrible wailing noise. I looked around and saw it was Gav sitting in the passengers seat.
