Engine bay cleaned and shined
Unfortunately no snow foam (but made a foam device out of a new 'miracle grow' hose adaptor haha)
Washed car using 2 bucket method
Dried user the uber blue towel...
Hi all, I've had an issue with my rear tyres scrubbing the arch after fitting v maxx coilovers, I know they are sposed to be soft but,
When I took the rear shocks off yesterday, I tested them next to my standards and found that they are alot softer (easier to push down) but also have NO...
The trims to the side of my screen keep lifting up! Although its a simple fix by just pushing them back down again, It's doing my head in! Lol
Anyone else get this or know how to cure?
Followed this 172 at about 11.20 on the A11 in thetford.
It had White 172 alloys with blue diamond centers, recessed exhaust and a Cliosport sticker in the rear windows
Anyone's from here?
ive heard of people using lets say a yozzasport decat with a different systems and so on...
but would a yozza decat actually sound any different to a milltek decat on the sa,e system? its just a straight through pipe lol
Spotted around 5pm on the A17 spotted an RB with White wheels! Then a few hundred yards back spotted a low black mk3 with black wheels and a few more sports following lol
Poss a cliosport meet?
My tyres are scrubbing the arches!
I believe this is due to the vmaxx rear shocks being as soft as butter! Even when I pull off slowly I can see it sag down if i look in my mirrors lol
What are stiffer rear shocks, standard 182 cup or vmaxx?
Just wondering, was going to give my bullets and diamonds a lick of paint and fancied an anthracite colour but not too dark, I would like quite a nice pearl/metallic fleck to it too
I painted my cousins seat Leon wheels ford graphite grey and they were too dark for me! So what other off the...
Has anyone else experienced this?
Was out driving the other nite (enthusiastically I mite add) and when slowing up for a roundabout got the lovely eggy smell that was a very hot CAT,
looked in my rear view mirror and see a massive spark/molten lump (like someone throwing a fag out) go...
As above really, thinking of buying a DA kit from i4detailing but they do some for soft to medium paints and medium to hard! heard people say BG is hard :/
Anybody tried these? If so what are they like?
I'm running Goodyear eagle f1's up front but they have gone up in price since I bought them and can't justify spending £140 on 2 tyres lol
I am trying to remove the rear stub axle from my 182, but the studs are just turning when turning the nylock nuts.
Is this right or should the studs stay in the hub?
I recently bought a meguiars lambs wool wash mitt,
Ive used it 3 times but when washing it out earlier and run my damp hand over it, I got covered in fluff!
Is this normal or is it falling apart?
I cant believe im asking this as i am a mechanic but these are the first coilovers i have ever had or seen lol This is a stupid question really,
are v maxx coilovers sided?
Since fitting them, When you look at my 182 from the side, the front wheels sit ever so slightly more to the front of...
sorry about the lack of pics....
i cleaned my car using the 2 bucket method
dried using uber blue drying towel
used an auto glym clay bar kit
washed again
dried again
went over it with AG super resin
then AG HD wax but wasnt overly happy so cracked out the DODO purple haze
this was only a...
had my old wheels sat in the garage but as were 15's it needed major lows to pull them off!
so ordered some v-maxx coilovers (not doing trackdays) and fitted them 3 days later :)
now it looked awesome but i like to be different and (without any offence) most black golds with cup packs...
'delta mics' spacer bolts breaking! :clap:
i found this on my valver too but it didnt occur to me till i tried to fit 2 sets of 15mm spacers to my 182 and hearing horror stories of the bolts breaking.
when fitting the spacer i found it wasnt sitting flush with the disc face!! therefore when...
I'm looking into buying a da polisher, not got alot in the way of money so been looking at the 'kestrel' ones on i4detailing. Which would you all recommend?
I've seen kits for soft-medium paint and kits for medium-hard? Whats best for a black gold?
Thanks
I've bought some v maxx coilovers and fitted them the other day! (fitted correctly)
I have had to adjust the o/s/r about 3/4 of an inch higher than the n/s/r (which is quite abit) and it still sits a few mm lower :S
Anyone else suffered this?
