Question for those running RCK on your hubs and most notably the original @NorthloopCup / BigAsh kits.
Has anyone run these on a daily driven vehicle, and how have they faired in terms of bearing life/corrosion.
I run a full spherical bearing setup on the front of my Cayman R but this does...
Ah I see, makes sense.
I have the alloy mounts which don’t come with these. I still think I’ll be adding some PPF to the shells where they are fixed to protect them anyway.
Good man. You’re going to love the additional hook up. Mines a mostly standard car and the difference the diff makes on the road is massive.
Easily one of my favourite changes on the car. 🙂
Where does it show you a washer must be fitted mate? Is this an instruction from the side mount manufacturer or from Recaro themselves?
Every set of PPs I’ve seen fitted there hasn’t been a washer from what I can see.
Thanks gents I thought as much, you have confirmed my Initial thoughts.
My main thoughts was to how others have fitted the seat belt receptacle for the 3 point lap strap. I think I’ll be getting some universal cable mounted receivers and fastening them directly to the side mounts by drilling...
Bumping an old thread here.
Clearly you guys are using 406mm covers for the front dampers. Those running rear coilovers, are you using the same size covers on the rear too?
Thanks.
Flat out of the lauda-link at Berwek, up Kesselchen, screaming in 4th gear, grab 5th and watch the speed start to fall off again. #facepalm
Back to 4th and hang it on the limiter all the way to the top. Hahaha
Bumping this chaps for those who have/had the PPs fitted.
Finally got some time to fit my seats, (had them since September!🤦🏽♂️)
What/where have you fastened the seat belt receptacle to?
The side mount?
I was going to drill the sidemounts and fit them there but interested to see what...
Thanks Jon,
I guess the seat width will dictate the runner spacing once they're fastened to the seat .
Out of interest, what seat/spacing was used to mark as the pattern for the holes in your bases?
Lmao. Well I’m so glad you’re here to clear that up for me else I’d be in trouble.
It’s not the science of it. I just don’t want to butcher (bend/cut/hit with blunt instrument) my car unlike others do, so I’m asking in advance.
People post their cars low with aggressive fitment but how many...
Got a pic at all of how much you have had to bend the bracket?
I assume you don't have any arch liners or are they melted away by the tyre there Louis?
How many of you guys running spacers and coilovers are getting scrubbing or have had to cut/bend/remove bumper brackets to allow clearance?
I want to run a lower ride height with spacers but cant be doing with scrubbing on lock or hacking up the car/wheel arch liners.
Just to add some info i measured on my 2005 Cup chassis 182.
Standard hub protrusion 14.2mm
Speedline Turini 16" (Cup fitment ET38.5mm)
Speedline 2118 15" (ET43)
Yeah always liked the old 888s. Likewise a shame you cant get Bridgestone RE070s in our size.
Scrubbing is my absolute pet hate, but still want to run a reasonably low ride height. Just cant be dealing with scrubbing wheel arch liners and having to butcher bumper brackets for clearance.
So Ive had a measure up for spacers and will add some pics here incase anyone else is interested. Mainly for the chamfer sizes on the rear faces of the wheels im using.
My stock cup chassis hub protrudes just over 14.2mm.
Speedline Cup Turini ET38.5mm has huge a 6.3mm chamfer.
Speedline 2118...
Sounds ideal.
I’ve not yet looked into it but tempted once I get some garage space back to rebuild a motor for mine just to drop in when the time comes for a refresh. A standard rebuild can’t be that expensive I imagine.
Wheel nuts are tapered for centralising the fastener. The loads subjected to a wheel even at low speeds far exceed what a stud/bolt could cope with in terms of wheel location.
Wheels need to be held in position by a central mandrel. The bolts/studs/nuts are only there to stop the wheel falling off.
