Halfords stuff is OK, but the multi point sockets are w**k for anything remotely rusty and you will end up using the free warranty as you'll snap things.
I can't stand them looking nose up like half of SXOC seem to have them though lol. Got lower profile tyres to go on the front too. No point tyre blacking them, car is mucky, and tyre black is full of silicone. Silicone causes havoc with powdercoating wheels, so once they've been refurbed I can...
I brought the front down to match the rear...
I can't decide if it's too low or not. I can just about get on and off my drive, but it scrapes all over the place around the village. Wasn't too bad when I went out onto the closest A road, but I don't know!
LOL I had your words in my head when they snapped! Going to try some 25mm spacers a fellow S14a owner in the next village has. Plus the camber is all over the shop which isn't helping. Will do dude, the lip protection makes them look less stretched too, but I'll pop out for you and get one in a...
Started the day with the subframe collars. Got them all loose bar the little arms, when...
Each side furthest in sheared, so they had to be drilled & retapped.
Collars fitted :D.
Then got the struts in.
Then the Wheels went on.
^^^ That's the rear clearance in the air lol.
Sat it...
I'll probably pick up another subframe, build it up and just swap them over. Collars just came in the set with the coilies, I probably wouldn't of bought them otherwise.
Been an arduous battle with the weather today.
Started off blathering rust with some green rust killing gel. In between doing multiple coats as per the instructions, I got the N/S/R alignment arms done.
Then I washed the gel out of the arches, let them dry out and cracked on with giving the...
How do I fix this?
Doesn't do it all over, but it seems to have just sprouted up on websites. I haven't changed anything/updated/installed anything for ages.
Encoding is set to Western (ISO Latin 1), which I presume is default.
Had a day off work, slept in but anyway! Started off washing all the crap from deep in the rear arches, then realised I was out of Zinc Primer. Not being bothered to waste an hour biking into town, I decided to do the arches tomorrow.
So, I started on the front coilovers. They are supposed to...
Well, the problem I have is space. This fucker's so long that when in the garage, it touches the door and my bench at the back, so I can't really work on it in the garage. After the winter to come I was thinking of tearing it apart and going to town on it like Petrol has on SXOC, but need to...
