Good to know thanks. Do you know if the steering arm is further away from the hub centreline? Or is it the same as 182 hubs?

I’ll bare that in mind thanks. I originally fit the pms kit some years ago but there wasn’t enough articulation with the joint and it fouled. As the hubs had already been drilled out I fit a Nissan s15 bump steer kit. I’m thinking another s15 kit because I prefer the black over zinc plated 😂...

I bought the cup inserts from optimiz, hopefully they are correct. If I dont use them I have the bump steer kit from pms as well.

I thought theyd be funny about it being from another country. Ill get on to my bank about it. Thanks for the link! Saves any custom stuff or dishing out ££££

Uh oh.. thanks for letting me know mate, my hubs haven’t arrived yet (across the channel jobbie) but mine look exactly the same as the wrong ones anyway. Would they offer a refund? Annoying as I paid import tax and fedex wanted an extra fee too! Where did you get the correct ones?

If the heat does transfer a lot then that explains it.

You would probably heat just the red circle area. Surely the whole casing wouldnt expand as the outer part is not getting hot at all. So the the inner point to the outer point (black arrow) is getting smaller.

Picture on left which is what happens when you heat it right? You are 'gaining' size in the outer and 'losing' size in the inner part. Because what I dont get is you heat the part and you are not heating the whole casing just where the bearing seats, 'it gets bigger' for the bearing, but the...

So when you heat it, it goes outward both ways and not inward. When you cool it, it goes inward both ways. But its both increasing in size and shrinking at the same time right?

Will be a tall tyre the 205/50/16 for standard gearing

Yellow and red is too mcdonalds for my liking.

Yup hes worked for it! I just have to switch off when I watch his videos so I dont get into a sulk.

Seeing all that space he has just annoys me. Ive spent months looking for a unit, found one thats 500 sqft, have done the paperwork but I wont be getting it until the start of July as some refurbishment has been delayed. ONE of his buildings is 25000 sqft! 😩

What happens if you cool the casing?

When heating up a casing for a bearing, why doesnt the metal expand inward, decreasing space?

When I logged in to the site the prices went down for everything so just bought everything from there :unsure:

Was that optimiz or a shop over here that had the wrong ones? Also on your rcc hubs, does the uniball slot into the bracket with ease or is it a very light press fit? Reason I ask is I was looking at a uniball weld cup from a site and they said this isnt suited for rally or circuit only oval racing.

Just about to order the laguna hub pins from optimiz access, they also do the uniballs for 40 euro each. Its a 16x38x15-21 uniball. Anyone know if you can get them from here? Would help save on extra import tax.

Refresh aircon parts and seals?

Glad it worked out!

The brake master cylinder, its a crap job with the engine in place, if you were thinking of keeping the car for a long time then its a consideration. Its still a crap job regardless though especially with abs.

If you are willing to put a bit of money into it, while the engines out then a new mc, rack bushes, arb bushes, engine and gearbox mounts.. Basically the whole front end refreshed.

Ah well, there isnt much space there with the jc5 to move the rack anyway.

Must be another brand. This is the autoglym kit 100ml Headlight Restoration Compound 1 x Drill bit backing plate 6 x P800 sanding abrasive disc 4 x P1500 sanding abrasive disc 1 x P2000 sanding foam disc 1 x P3000 sanding foam disc 1 x White compounding pad 1 x Microfibre cloth

With the autoglym kit that comes with polish, after a couple months they were going bad on mine.

Wiped with no polish or protection after?

Wouldn't it trap the hot air leaving the rad
