When you fit the center cap on there's only one way they fit without falling off.
On the inside there's a picture of a valve line that up with the valve on the wheel and it shouldn't fall off then.
Re: James/BigAsh 182 Race Car by TDF... It doesn't get much better than this! *Pic He
Just a quick question. Is there an underlining problem which is causing you to go through top mounts? Or is it just running road suspension on track is killing them.
I've been battling against lean afr and now its starting to missfire now.
I've changed fuel filter, fuel pump, fuel lines.
Checked the fuel regulator.
It was running quite good top end. 12.8 odd. But sudden yesterday and today its been running 13.7 odd top end and high 14 midrange.
The misfire...
The shell it was in before kept on having problems with it running lean and an uprated fuel pump solved this. Most fuel pumps in mk1 dont get 12volts these days or are dying as they are 15years old now.
Im going to buy an AEM UEGO wire it up and then see how i go from there on.
South wales tuning. Only went to this place because they have a dyno dynamics rolling road.
Made 161hp and just under 140lb/ft.
AFR was around 13.5-7 when it should be around 12.7 ish.
Only difference i can see from the previous dyno (180hp and 155lb/ft) run is the fuel pump being standard...
