Exactly, 13.5k for a damaged 5 that's probably rusting away inside out like they all do anyway lol! A mate of mine had 3 and they were all f**ked big time under every bit of seam sealant!
No it wouldn't as it's still in the bore and connected but they are know to work themselves loose, especially in cylinder 3. Mine did even though they were all torqued up correctly, had a feeling what it could be so had it all off and voila, a nice loose spark plug that had backed off a turn and...
I absolutely love it, been looking into vinyl designs for mine and keep coming back to that style, BMW Art Car ftw!
The prices aren't bad either tbh for what you're getting, especially including grandstand track passes, making it even more appealing for me next year ;)
Looks like a quality trip (apart from the mentioned accident, hope everyone involved was ok), a couple of mates went over on an old 60's Red London bus and was gutted I couldn't go! Defo aiming to go next year though.
The stickered up cars look awesome, Blooors and Naiths iirc? Would love some...
Yeah I've just spoken to Jon/John at Kam Racing at he's ping to get back to me although he did mention I would need the tophat aswell as the bearings??? Apparently the bearing sits inside the tophat slightly which I didn't realise, fingers crossed lol!
Yeah I know the bush goes there so means I've just got to try and get hold of the bearings and it seems AST are one of the hardest and worst companies to deal with. I'll have to try and call Kam Racing tomo or call AST direct and see if I get an answer.
Cheers for that though, wasn't sure if I...
Completely agree on this one as there's no way of telling which ones fit which type of damper!
Hopefully I find out soon mate lol, where theres a will there's a way haha!
I did think about both of these points aswell but don't know if you can use the original top hat/ bearing. I haven't had the fronts off before so haven't a clue what it looks like up there.
Hi Chris,
I think these were your old ones if I'm right in saying, I got these from a guy called Adam.
I've just noticed when looking around that others have got bottom cups on that locate in the spring to stop it moving around but not sure if that's just for the oem fit ones. Have you got any...
Oh joy, looks like im in for a fun ride then if they don't appear! I have heard things like that about ast quite a bit really!
What part in your picture is the bearing? The part sitting just above the black cup? Guessing I can't use them with the GAZ top cups then (never had them off so don't...
Thought as much, I've asked the guy I bought them off to see if he has them or if he knows where they've got to, otherwise looks like I'll be calling Kam Racing soon then to get what I actually need :/
Basically I've just bought a set of AST topmounts and was just wondering if I've got everything I need to fit them to my car. I have looked into vaious other threads alot to try and answer this myself but to no real avail
Looking through others I've seen they've been fitted with a top hat that...
Great pictures!
I had an equally wet weekend at Lydden Hill in Kent Sunday and Monday watching the Rallycross Championship, worth it though with the type of pictures you can achieve in the wet conditions. I'll post them up if I get the chance.
What a pair, especially the R27 and the picture Craig's got is wicked!
Oh and I love the stickers (I'm a bit of a sucker for stickers as long as they fit in with the scheme you've got going on which they definitely do)
Daniel have you been a bit starved of certain things lately haha? I've seen some of things you've been posting lol!
Lol, well I'm not complaining ;)
Yeah does seem the common consensus on them, all the power is at the top end and yeah the running costs are extortianate, I looked into...
This lol! Good job on that one lol!
On the other hand looks like a great trip Rob, one place I want to go to one day. Did The New Forest with the missus last year, it's lovely down there too with some great roads and scenery.
Glad you're enjoying the car properly at last, I'm coming around to...
Saw your car on a trailer going the opposite way to me on the way home from work this afternoon...LOOKS f**king AWESOME!!! I had to take a double glance as thought I recognise that and then realised it was yours haha :)
Guessing it was spending a bit of TLC time at Bubble & Kick's place? (I...
