As derv said, chekc for gone bearings, any leaks etc from the engine, running particularly hot, check the oil etc

I woudl guess prise them off, a haynes manual id very useful for questions such as this

I've got the 8.5mm magnecore leads, needed a new set and they were all tweeks had in stock. Heard VERY good things about them, alot from a bloke who is inot tuning his scoobies etc up, IIRC his mate has a 900bhp (or around that) scoob, which he mapped for him, so i think he knows his stuff

As above or tweeks, rally design is prolly cheaper tbh

You turn around and beat the living s**t out of them

Whats the limit then, and at what distance do they test it?

Shims in place with camshaft removed With shims and carriers removed Shims and carriers seprerate Ypu don't need a valve spring compressor to remove the shims, and you shoudl be able to get the shims out with the cam in. For the record halfords, machine mart etc will sell a valve...

They would be better, BUT for a little more you coudl get a 4-pot setup whihc is ALOT better

So you don't have alloys or a spolier, on the tripe that renault are turning out nowadays and calling cars?? TBH you need to sort the attitude, this is alot of what is wrong with the world today, t***s thinking they are better then other people..... :boring:

This is about the 5th time this has been posted ;)

Et36 according the the wheels ET37 if you listen to what everyone says

Nah, at the end of the day you drive to the limits of the car, if you don't wanna stack it stay back from those limits, esp in the wet

Strange saying that i was actually thinking then i had my moment, it was like, "i'm going too fast, gotta come off the brakes or i'm gonna spin"......then the back end went and i stuck one turn of oppersite lock on, and again "ok, thats not enough, gonna ahve to go for full oppersite lock"...

Remove wiper and motor, and then you are left wiht a black rubber bit that the simdle goes through, i just filled the hole up wiht mastic

Viper

Post a pic up and i'll tell you what is what :P

So on your car....brembo max, or normal brembos?

Presume you won't be attaending any track days then, thats alot more then the sound limti for most UK tracks. And why did you pay £50+ for a k-tecx de-cat when you could ahve had one off me for £35 delivered?

http://www.lunner.co.uk/Engine%20Conversion/Head%20Work/index.html 1.8 8v head being stripped, all that remains now are the valves, for them i need to get around to buying a valve spring compressor, oh and i need to remove the studs. Will get doing the same wiht the block once i get it

Proving my point that grooved discs make f**k all difference. Cheers

Right, if it gets really stiff at one point the discs isn't on straight. When you replace the bering you have to remove the discs. Easy to get some crap between the disc and hub not making ti sit straight. If its just comming from the pedal have you thoguth it might just be the pedal...

No idea, tbh i woudl run it and keep an eye on it and see if the noise gets worse

TBH this applies to refitting even std lights They also tend to get caught on the rubber boot seal

Did you, during your testing find any advantage in the Brembo 'Max' disc over the Brembo 'Group'N''...or normal brembo discs

Untill you go round a corner and meet a tractor.....not naming any names:quiet:

I did mine without a torque wrench, just did it fooking tight, my torque wrench is about 30Nm short, so i did it to max setting and then did it 1/4 turn more with breaker bar, this is the last time ihad the hub off to change the driveshaft

To be fair i think he looked as fast as he was becasue alot of people were taking it very steady, the track was VERY slippery, i almost spun it on the first corner, think 4 or 5 other people spun it up to when when he crashed, in the first 5 minutes

Normal mounts,a nd fill the gapos wiht polyurethene sealant

Mark @ Ritchspeed uses normal engine mounts filled wiht polyurethene sealant. Btw why do you need uprated engine mounts unless you have done some massive tuning?

Strange if you have just had new discs and pads and its still doing it. Shot driveshafts usually make themselfves apparent inteh form or vibrations in the stearing. Check the run out on the discs, could be if they weren't sitting straight of there is something under the one side and they are...
