I've seen a few seized slider pins from copper grease that hasn't faired well, apparently it causes rubber seals to shrink, which on the sliders would cause water ingress etc
I use silicone paste, it's expensive from what I recall, but it'll last for any future jobs
For a none-sport ? I have m1144's and they've squealed since the day I got them, seems common reading about. They do bite well and did fine on track (I'm sure it's sub par compared to dedicated pads)
The squeal get's old really fast, I'm going back to brembo pads when these die.
Tuition is certainly on my list of things to do, tee sides my closest track living in Newcastle, but I don't believe they offer tuition. Crofts would probably be my closest, but think it was certainly worth having a go before hand :)
A video from the later laps on the day, the track was closed for a half hour as a 172's wheel came off, so it's a little dark. The first corner after leaving the pit's was giving me issues, unsure if it's the uneven road or just too much speed into the corner. The tyres are around 32 PSI front...
I do suspect it's a combination of all the things you mention, unfortunately the car's my daily at the moment so I daren't venture into coilovers and bump steer correctors. When I originally built the car I was aiming for OEM+ so I'm hoping with some good rubber and tuition, I can make do with...
I was actually secretly hoping it was going to piss down yesterday so the tyres where at home, but alas it was sunny all afternoon ! They didn't seem to bad while I was out learning the track (Admittingly not carrying much speed, I nearly got lost on my first lap) but after warming them up, it...
Cheers everybody ! looking forward to getting out on some decent tyres and reporting back, then working my way up the mods. I believe I may have the bug !
I'll give it a bash, it's a shame the standard wheels look completely lost on the PH1 arches.
Does the wear across the tread of the front's look normal ? The rears seem fairly even, but the fronts seem to of had the edges of the tread eaten away on the outside. Sign I need camber ?
Would you recommend taking the front's off entirely ? I've heard having a wider rear track can encourage understeer, and they are a nightmare to remove :)
It was dry mate, for the next session I'm looking at some R1R's to see how I get on. Also some tuition if I can find some near home.
The front camber is stock, I do have bolt's but I've not had a chance to get on and setup properly, I read around -2 is sufficient ?
Standard front ARB with black...
I do suspect the Rainports may have been one of the issues, being quite new they have huge treadblocks and are quite squishy. I probably also got the pressures wrong. I'm looking at some R1R's for the next session :)
I've read that front spacers can upset the scrub radius, and 20mm is rather...
Hiya,
Yesterday I took the ph1 to the track for the first time (First time I've done a track day and first time for the car since being rebuilt) at teeside autodrome, quite a tight track with lots of twisty stuff. Had a great time and the car was pretty much faultless with the exception of a...
Just hit level 30 on this and 30 DZ. what sort of builds are people going for ? I'm starting to think stacking health is pointless, I go down like a sack of spuds ! Currently got about 56k firearms 88k stamina.
I've had a persistent rattle in every clio I've owned above the rear passenger window.
I'm yet to track down what's causing it but it sounds like it's coming from the area the rear belt retreats to.
I recently had problems similar to what you describe, normal at lower speeds but once near 70 the car seemed to be unsettled and uncomfortable changing direction at speed. It also used to tramline something nasty.
Slightly play in a tie rod and rod end along with too much toe out was my issue...
Custom fab some engine mounts. Then sort the transmission. Then there's the electrics (ABS, clocks etc)
Imagine the weight split on the car would be 80-20 after to ha
