got this in a forwarded email not so long ago. Notice the QLD rego plates.
Here is a quick update on my Honda S600 with the ZX-12 power plant.
I thought I had some clutch issues after a big day out at Willowbank raceway for the Power cruise earlier in the year. A few weeks back my new billet clutch basket and clutch parts arrived from the States and was fitted with a new engine oil cooler as well to help keep the oil at a nice temp. unfortunately I didn't get to drive the little beast as it had a broken axle. Maybe MX-5 axles aren't that strong in a 700kg car. Snapped the spline off inside the CV joint closest to the LH wheel hub. That would explain why it wanted to drive but seemed as if the clutch was slipping. It was not the engine clutch but the LSD clutch pack slipping.
While it has been off the road it has also got the front end sorted with some new front control arms with a bit more adjustability in them to get some neg camber onto it. The suspension has also had a few tweaks to stiffen it up a bit as it was way too soft before. And lastly a bit more movement in the throttle to give a more progressive movement instead of the on or off switch it used to have. Now double the travel under the size 12
Now getting some flash billet axles made so I don't have a repeat of that again. I have now been told that the drive line is almost unbreakable. I would have to do something very very stupid to get a failure now. They won't give me 100% guarantee. Looking forward to the next time I get to drive it at Christmas and those 12,000 rpm clutchless shifts. If you see a blue flash from the lights on the Goldy or Brisvegas and sounds like a big bore bike, look twice as it may be me grinning like a dead fox and the wind in my……………………
