Re: The car you wish you never sold... What were they?
That CSL is lovley, what did you replace it with? I probably miss my cherry red 106 gti the most, wish i never smashedmy VX220 Turbo up though as well
I loved my gti, wish i could get another decent one. Mine had induction kit, 4 branch and 2" pugsport, it sounded like a machaine gun on the overun, pop pop, bang, flames lol
Soot1e yeah it mainly creaks when slow speed turning, parking up ect, but it also does it when i am braking. Elfy so maybe i need to change a ball joint?
Thanks for the help people
Right my car is doing my head in now, its still creaking. I took the near side strut off again yesterday. There is alot of play in the rubber bush on top of the strut, i would think it shouldnt move t all, as play there would cause a creak/ noise. Stripped the strut down and cant see anything...
Sorry cant add to the topic but what colour VXT have you got vxt172? I had one before and i am trying save up get one as a toy to go with my trophy as well but its going to be a while
I think i should of brought a jdm then, i must admit once i put a set of toyo t1r's on my old civic it drove a lot better, the engine and box in them are lovley and i loved the interior. I think they look smart as well, was just like i say i couldnt get on with the power steering. It felt so...
That looks mint, the jdm has ep3 has hydraluic power steering doesnt it? I had a premier edition CTR and hated it because of the electric power steering.
Looks good mate i like your type r, i had a premier CTR engine/ gearbox was mint and i like how they look but the power steering ruined it for me, sold it with in 6 months was so diasapointed init.
Thanks Fred. Built it back up today and gone for a spin its still creaking a little bit but no where near as bad as it was before. Mainly when slow turning parking ect and braking. Any ideas anyone
The rubbers that i have got from renault are smaller than the ones that i have taken off my car. The rubber doesnt look bad so i have put that back on but replaced the bearing. Going hopefuly build it all up tommorow in the light
Sam i dont know who held your springs compressed but i cant get anyone to hold them down enough, need wait for the gf get back so she can go fetch me some spring compressors!!!! lol
