Correct me if i am wrong. But there was two batches of the first gen Giken, The first batch has not had failures, but the second batch, well i think you may have had the last working one from the second batch. And then the second generation has held up nicely?
Me, and colin, and collett still have working first gens.
Agree on the keeping stock clutch, this experiment has been a great big fail

Colin's broke before Nats last year, IIRC.

Really wish the clutch didn't break so I could try the car WITHOUT trailbraking...
Fun as always Robert!

Thanks. My backup stock diff is going in the car tomorrow but this really makes me wonder whether prosolos are worth it. I launched at 8k and the car just bogged, the rear hopped and that killed the diff (what actually broke ill find out tomorrow). I'm going to do the Nj pro on my stock diff but I think I may not launch.
This is what it looks like when that happens:

Yeah, SP seems like a strange purgatory in the world of solo.
