My GAZ coilover suspension is past it's sell by date, the plan is to change over the dampers front and rear over time. Would the Trophy Sachs rear dampers be worth fitting? A set has come up, my GAZ rears are knocking and need to replace so was thinking the Trophy items might be worth a go, it...
All this is theory and thought i'd bring it up for discussion to see if anyone has attempted trying something out (dam cup pack hubs :D)
So, brackets made up with 60mm spacing, welded on a set of coilovers could be a possibility if the talent and welding skills were at my disposal?
I was looking into carbon bullets, there is a difference between Streamline and Chris's items. I PM'd Chris about the possibility of having the bullets made in carbon with the 2.0 and 16V raised like the OE ones, to which he replied that Streamline actually make them already. Admittedly pricey...
I've not looked at coilovers close up for a while now to see how they set up their negative camber. From what i remember the bolt in the top is a certain shape to allow the top of the hub to be pulled in or out for positive/negative camber, i don't know if they just rely on a different shape top...
I know that cup pack suspension is 60mm with 172/182 RS being 54mm.
My question is, could the hub hole on say a 54mm coilover strut be modified to fit the 60mm hub? Top holes have been elongated on some to give you adjustable camber.
Does say both bottom holes line up and the top be 6mm...
Finally have my RB 182 on the road after 2 months, still needs a couple of tweeks but love driving it, love going past the big shop windows to see the reflection of it :o :D
If the speedo sensor is in the same location as the phase 1 then i changed it from above by reaching down past the exhaust manifold. Unclip the sensor connector, pull the sensor out, fit new.... 5 minute job
Mine did this too, turned out due to water ingress the connector and pins were corroded on the bulb holder. Unclipped the connector off the bulb holder, cleaned the terminals then cleaned the pins on the holder........ Job done, what happened was the loom to the rear light was trapped in the...
Hell that was a nightmare! But yes almost forgotten :D
It will most certainly be looked after, i'll just need a list of products used that keep it nice and shiney :o
I'd also like to say i bought this RB without looking at it, as soon as i saw the ad go up i knew i had to buy it. I felt...
