And no I can't just just take them out and go to a store and ask for 10mm longer, I won't be able to get to a store and I don't have the time for that. :)
I'm fitting some 10mm axle spacers to my Clio. Could someone possibly help me and tell me what the bolts are as I need to get longer ones obviously. They are different that the ones from sport I've read. But can't find anywhere the bolts are and what length they are. I've read there's 3 of 1 and...
Passenger driveshaft has gone wrong on my car, so asked my dad to get me some EP 75w 80 gl4 gearbox oil when he was shopping so I can change the driveshaft.
The chap in the shop gave him,
EP 80w 90 gl5. My instant reaction is this can't be used, So I thought I'd ask on here.
Can it be used...
Hmm that's irritating, what's the turn around on the powder coating? Also (sorry for the questions) did you have to get them balanced after they were done? Just thinking about getting mine done.
That's a pretty good price, actually that's a really really good price! I'm tempted myself to be honest! painting them should be okay, they're only small so you won't be using much paint if you find the right paint :)
ah cheers, I thought so, I shall sent him a PM!
looks much better without...
Looks fantastic! Much prefer the Turinis over the 182 alloys. How much did the powder coating set you back may I ask?
great job on the pillars too, eBay material and just spray glue? Or a little more to it than that?
Edit; should've updated the page before I asked that question
Also where on...
Lunch break update
Had a few goodies arrive at the weekend. Nothing much!
Gone for 6000k sidelights and 6000k dipped beam. Not that pleased with the match tbh but it'll do! Sidelights are pure white no hint of blue at all like 6000k usually does! Really really impressed with the 6000k dipped...
Just seen there's a video on YouTube in case I get stuck so that's good! Best place to get new ones from?
right okay cheers!
Hmm yeah I thought so, that's a job I done really fancy doing. Hoping it's a driveshaft thing! Cheers mate finally getting somewhere;-) very helpful
thank you! I did think it was driveshaft problem but I don't have a clue what to look for when checking them! Okay I'll have a look for up and down movement. if there's a lot of movement are they retively straight forward to change?
Wheel bearings are good too! Diff bearings? Now how can I...
Constant like knocking noise or however you describe that noise!stops at 25 seconds and start again 28 after I put it in gear and accelerate again? Can people really not hear the noise? It's the only thing you can hear in the video
Really? It stops at 3 seconds in and then you can hear it quite well 8 seconds onwards! :/
yeah they are all tight! You can't hear it in any of the gears but as soon as you put the clutch down the noise starts. Like a rotating grinding kinds noise
Anyone got any ideas what it could be?
it seems to be coming from the middle at the front. it's kind of like a rotating grinding noise. quite loud, seems to be louder after a longer journey. you don't hear it in gear when on the throttle but as soon as the clutch goes in you hear it, so you...
I think the price is because they're out of stock and don't want attention!
ahh that's annoying ah well! yeah thought -2 was quite a bit!
Was thinking doing -1 on the back with 10mm hub shims and 16mm spacers and -1 on front with the camber bolts and 20mm spacers! Or -.5 not sure yet! Then...
Yeah not sure it's the correct name though! there's 1 pair on eBay 10mm but their over £100 so I guess that means out of stock! I'll find someone, can anything like these be put on the front too or is that too complicated?
How noticeable is -2 camber?
Think the are called shim spacers, I'll have a look on eBay! and contact Dan MAD on here as I think he makes them with camber so could see if he could do flat! or I could go all out and slam it and stretch the tyres and get negative camber sick bruv.
Ahh I see seems much more simple than wheel spacers! ah doesn't look like it, he hasn't been on here for a while, any idea where else I could get them?
Fitted some spacers last week, 2 16mm's for the rear! It looks better but I think I want it wider!
Needs to be wider IMO, either tempted to go down the route of finding complete 1*2 rear beam so it'll be 20mm wider anyway and then get whatever spacers I find necessary... Or get some 25mm...
I noticed the other night a sound coming from the front of the car and filmed it, it didn't sound healthy at all, it seemed to only do it between 15mph and 20mph rolling but since then I've heard it at other time. It only seems to do it in a straight line! any ideas what this could be, I've have...
