had these fitted last week and there seems to be a knocking noise when i drive over small bumps :( any parts i need to check? the mounts don't sit right in the middle of the strut, could this be the cause? (the threads on the male part of the top mounts moving against the strut)
any help...
lol, hardly 'busted' alex.
im just telling you what they said they had done.
-fitted springs
-top mounts
-adjusted tow settings to parralell
-slight camber adjustments (i don't know how, i don't have camber adjusting bolts fitted but i took their word for it)
-tracking
after meeting my...
camber was altered slightly. not as much as i would have liked tho.
camber bolts are sold on k-tek's website. should have pics on there. im going to get myself a set of camber adjusting bolts soon
nice. good job there, altho... i would have painted the oil flap too, and got a 2.0l 16v sticker off ebay.
does the battery hold its charge very well after a few days or a week? or do you disconnect it?
thats the under bonnet carpet on the pics (i have already removed that. im on about the peice behind the engine in both pics. between the engine bay and the dash (where the water bottle screws too)
oh, i thought it would have been long enough. lol.
just looked at my bay and the only place that i can see that is suitable for it is upper grille (driver side) or lower grille (passenger side) or where you have it fitted. in such a small bay its hard to run a feed anywhere!
look for a space in the upper grille and just bend the pipe towards it, tucking it close up to the grille. there should be some spacde for it up there. you may need to cut some off the length of the pipe tho
just run the caf to the upper grille, plenty of cold air there.
there is a nut that screws into the side of the engine block that the bracket screws into. hang on... i will edit your pic as a diagram
i have just had the prolines fitted to my 182. they seem great so far. they feel like they hold the road well, not too hard ride, and they don't lower it by much at all. 15mm max!
here is how it looks with prolines fitted
nice, im glad they painted that area properly... unlike the underside of my bonnet :dapprove:
so is the dynamat just that silver insulation stuff that the 'ice' lot use for smooth sounding bass? do they do it in like a carpet form so i can use it for the reafr of a stripped car?
