Best to go for a little drive with a passenger and determine where it\'s coming from. Get under the car and examine, it should show itself quickly if its in ba state.

What sort of propshaft is it? Could it just be objecting to the larger amounts of power you\'re throwing at it?

It should be fine - only running at 0.7bar at the moment...

Quick update.

I took it for a spin on Saturday just gone, took it gently no driving above 3k rpm etc - no vibration.

Increased to 4k rpm a bit later on the journey home, no vibration.

Got tailgated by an M5 on the way home - gave it the maximum beans... no vibration.

So no idea what my dad experienced when he took it out... something to keep an eye on though I guess.

The Montrose will be in the March edition of Practical Performance Car :Giggle

To quote the internet:

"He got pwned"

:Giggle

And yes, it was totally worth it

Hehe - cool

It\'s mentioned in the "Next Month" section of this months PPC... under the phrase "A Mazda What?" :Giggle

Will66 · February 01, 2013, 08:00:54 AM

I\'ll be getting that month\'s PPC then! I used to live near the bloke in that mag with the Rolls Royce Meteor Engined Rover SD1.

I\'ve yet to see that in the flesh - bet its a monster

Will66 · February 01, 2013, 11:53:45 AM

I saw and heard it on the road once, it\'s mental.

Brett · February 01, 2013, 05:40:01 PM

That\'s a proper car

The way he built it is a story in itself, he\'s a very capable engineer and builds most of his stuff himself, he\'s built himself and engine dyno out of an old bus retarder and some oil drums.

Brett · February 02, 2013, 12:53:14 AM

Yeah, I saw that :Giggle
