________________________________________________
I have a `98/C5. The rubber that separates the harmonic balancer from the
flywheel has broken off. So I guess it needs the whole assembly. Is there
any altenative? I understand when a blower is put in there`s a way to lock
the two together. Can the rubber relaced? If indeed the whole balancer needs
replacement what should be a fair cost? Is this something I should take it
to a dealer for or use a trusted mechanic?
PS: does anyone have the repair instructions for this job?

All the best,

im sure u need a new balancer. the rubber cant be replaced as its a
factory assembly.
u will need a balancer remover and a balancer installer. im not sure of
your situation on a 98 but you should be able to do it yourself
i could be totally wrong but it sounds like a typical balancer on
millions of cars.

Title: Race the Runway event success
Date: Fri, 25 Sep 2009 08:53:16 +0000

 Although it was a closed event and not open to public access, the BBC reports that the Race the Runway event we highlighted recently was a success, with 48 participants each paying £250 for the opportunity to race their supercars along the secondary runway at Edinburgh Airport, with invited guests bringing in a further £50 a head. Cars such as Lamborghinis, Porsches, Ferraris, Aston Martins and others were brought to the event, during which the airport continued to operate as normal.
Proceeds from the day will go to St Columba’s Hospice in Edinburgh and the Prince and Princess of Wales Hospice in Glasgow.
Together with the runway activity, the day also provided an opportunity for the drivers to undertake a fire simulation exercise, and visit air traffic control.
It will certainly have made a change from the usual sort of track day that takes place on normal race tracks such as Knockhill, as I’m led to believe (since modern, active, commercial airport runways are one place I haven’t managed to get onto) that by comparison with such tracks, runways can be much smoother. One thing is certain, as anyone who’s been round Knockhill will vouch for, they’re certainly flatter!
