from the bearing down though right. As in the donut thing doesnt move at all?

I didnt measure exactly but i would say i had approx 6mm gap between the top hat and turret. Yup put the donut on then spacer inside the donut then small brass nut on top. Didnt think of that, good idea greasing up the donut, but im pretty sure that shouldnt move at all if im right? as its the...

Cant remember tbh, i think around 15mm, needed to be around 10. Yup assembled, spring, spring platform, bearing round the right way, rubber donut thing, spacer, brass nut. Then put on the car and top hat bolted down

put it all back together, luckily i only removed 1 side and only had 1 spacer. Had an issue where the spacer was too big and wasnt sitting flush, as plan to get new ones i just chopped it down and all went back together fine. Will order some new spacers up tomorrow

So i think i have it sorted, will use the small nuyt and spacer for the time being and order new ones off adam for delivery asap. Will report back as will probably have issues

yeah thats what im missing the tube nut. so before the new style what was used? a spacer then a nut? as i have what looks like a spacer in the box of suspension bits

so the tubed nut goes after the bearing and the spacers sits within the rubber donut so to speak? i have a bag of bits from when i removed the normal springs, would i have anything like that in there?

Yeah the car needs to be used tomorrow so kind of needs to go back together today. The old shocks and springs and all apart in a box with a bag of nuts/etc. As their apart i cant use them as a quide for my coilovers but have got the 2 brass nuts i need. I think i know there they bolt on but dont...

Yeah dug out the old shocks and found the 2 brass nuts. Woops been running without them for a while :confused: Question is, im assuming they go after the rubber donut and bolt onto the bearing but doesnt this damage the bearing itself if your tightening a nut straight onto it? if that make sense

is that after the bearing? is there a washer between the two or is it straight ater it? just thinking wouldnt it damage the bearing if tightening the bolt onto it?

So had a look at a few pics and looks like im missing a nut after the rubber donut. Does it bolt on stright after the bearing or is there a washer before?

Im pretty sure im missing a nut somewhere :S 20150222_123955 by felixta22, on Flickr

ahh ok, no worries. So unlike sports, the non sports dont have a nut to hold the coilover together, it uses the top hat to hold it? @AlexW steve said you might be able to help?

Cheers for clearing it up. Yup definatley got everything in the wrong order. This top hat spacer, i dont remember seeing one when i disassembled it, along with the nut. You dont by any chamce have a pic or anything of one?

Yeah 172 rep on turinis with 205 tyres. My coilies (FK) has the inbuilt adjustment for camber which when i removed the coilover today i ensured it was straight/levell when refiting which i havent done before, this could be the issue if before there has always been a small amount of negative...

Sorry, that should help - 1.2 Is the above order the same for coilovers? i plan to remove the strut again tomorrow and have another look. I have however realised the source of the creaking is actually the tyre of the arch from where i assume the adjuster has wound down when i removed it. I...

So i loosened it right off and it still makes the creeking noise when i turn right

Ok so changed the top mounts today. One side was collpased before so bought new. All fitted and as far as im aware i havent done anything differently. Couldnt find anything on what order they go when having coilovers so made an educated guess at it. Found on a thread somehwere that the top mount...

Ahh ok, i've had immobiliser issues before but it was turning over so could be a different issue. Might be worth trying what i did to see if it works before you have to spend some money. 1. Turn key to ignition on position, count to 30, turn it off but dont take the key out, then turn straight...

I really like this mate! Like how your not following the crowd with the wheels and spoiler. Not a fan of the bumper wrap or tow bar, but hey its not my car so go right ahead!

By wont start, do you mean when you turn the key theres nothing or its turning over but not firing?

Looks good mate, cant wait to get a 182. Link for fattys induction kit - http://www.cliosport.net/threads/the-fattys-ktec-alternative-induction-setup-that-works-just-as-well-costs-less-than-%C2%A340.761531/

Couple of pics from this morning after a quick clean yesterday 20150209_103443 by felixta22, on Flickr 20150209_103510 by felixta22, on Flickr 20150209_103539 by felixta22, on Flickr To do list now is: re-refurb headlights as wasnt pleased with the last outcome give it a good clean along with...

Thanks mate! haha yeah i guess it has, cant even remember how it looked when i first got it with all the changes its had aha True mate, will do until i can afford something quicker. haha gonna be very believable to the untrained eye with those bullets :/ at least not as bad as some things you...

Ahh nice one! wish i went for a dci now instead of a 1.2, cheaper on insurance for me as well. I had the issue with the rear, raised it due to rubbing and now wish it was lower again, ever ending haha. I think a charcoal anthracite would look awesome, or you could just sell them to me? ;)

Looks good mate! what engine is it? as its a rep and all that, tbh i thought it was a 172 till i saw it said rep so fooled me. Spacers makes a huge difference, just rears next then? haha. What happened to the 2118's tho?

Thanks mate! :) I know what you mean, I did have it off for a few months a while back but i wasnt too keen on the holes and the badge was cheap to start off with so was a good way to cover em up. I was debating as it isnt a sport it shouldt be on there but thought considering all the other sport...

Finally managed to get a weekend where nothing was planned, so got to work on my brakes. Picked up a set of Brembo discs and pads along with some fluid about a month ago but only got round to fitting today. Bleed nipples were a bit of a pain but all in all wasnt too bad. Fuild was pretty bad...

I was just about to post this haha. Looks..Um unique 😊
