They don't use cheap parts. They might have done, once upon a time but not any more.

but if replaced regularly then i see no problem.
a spitfire or nitron one could break after x amount of miles etc just because you have fitted 'uprated' parts doesnt mean they guarantee they will never break

Also that driving is fairly shocking. What's with all the wheel movement? I'm not suprised something broke. Looks like a demented person trying to play on one of those old sega rally slot machine things.

OK, so mahoosive thanks to Chris_UK who drove from Leeds, stayed over two nights and worked solid to get to where we are.
Two solid days work and I do believe (aside from a few little bits) that we are done.
Big thanks to Lee who took time out from rebuilding his staircase to drive over and drop off the splitter he made for me.
Loads of people have helped get this car to where it is now and I could not have done it without you all.
