bought a set of wheels the other day they came off a seat ibiza, they're 4x100 et 43 15" OZ SuperTurismo. Basically what happens i put them on tighten them all up by hand (the wheel still spins) then when i tighten them up properly the wheel wont turn. I then undone them a few turns and they...
fitted some new wheels wondering why they were a b**ch to go on then realised i forgot to order the spigot rings... opps. Sorted a new battery got one from halfords for 20 quid down from 80 (stock clearance still 3 years warranty) also cleaned up my corroded alternator connection, now everything...
if you don't mind me asking how much roughly did the refurb cost on the gearbox? i got a crunch going from 4th to 5th and then it whines when i accelerate. Car is looking Very nice, love the colour
yeah i thought it'd be good practice as i'm in no rush for it to be done, i'll be going 15's soon so wouldn't really care to much with the outcome.
EDIT: i do agree though if i was keeping them on i'd send them off to be done properly
I'll be refurbing my wheels soon for the first time and got a quick question, once i've done all the prep and the primer is dry when i spray the wheels where's the best place to leave them to dry? i was thinking of putting them in a green house away from any dust and also it'll be nice and warm...
This is what i'll be doing over the winter.
You'd need deeper pockets to get any power worth talking about, i'd much prefer a car to handle a lot better than one that'll go a bit quicker in a straight line
Had the "rear fog light lights up on the dash when i brake" so decided to sort that out, took around 10 minutes from start to finish and the light no longer comes on.
Un-screwed the rear right light (little black thing that you un-screw by hand)
took it off to find this...
so i got a bit...
This is probably a silly question but i'll ask anyway... i bought the go rally pack a few months ago i take it i can't use the paperwork that came with that for the ARDS test?
whats the difference between those rainsports and these rainsports? is it just the profile being 55? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/170905551984?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649
I'd be interested in this, much prefer it to be down to drivers skill instead of how big your bank balance is... I assume a national b would be needed?
i've got the gasket springs and bolts ect for the exhaust i'll do that when i get a bit of time, timing is out i think feels down power by quite a bit. I was going to bring it to you soon for the cambelt + dephaser to be changed anyway when i get a bit of money spare so i guess this will be...
Got a bit of a leak thats dripping onto the manifold and making it smoke a bit, will be having a proper look tomorrow when i got time. Also another thing it seems to be blowing from the downpipe i've got a new gasket so i'll put that on that but in the pictures below is that gap way to big...
i weren't a fan of these but seeing this on that colour has changed my mind and i now want one! bring the rear up a cm and it'll be sitting spot on i think
