having a set of lower offset wheels instead of spacers (let's say you put et 35 wheels instead of et 45 vs a set of 10 mm spacers) is going to affect handling like the spacers are supposed to?
good to know I guess
the std 182 wheel offset is ET45 so 43 would be the closest. you can go with 38 no problem though but if your car is lowered you may experience rubbing issues (on the arch liners or even on the bumper bracket). fair to say that even with ET 45 you can get some rubbing but with 38 the chances...
can't upload the jc5 template but anyway you get the idea.
many things to work on now, mounts, custom driveshafts, flywheel, gear linkage and so on. can't wait to see the car run ;)
we decided to mate a 02M VAG box to the f4r like Scoff did. so started with the first step: templates for the adaptor plate:
I think the new 6 spd box is a bit larger :D
do your best and get a proper air feed to the filter. silicone elbow might be helpful. keep the filter clean and avoid excessive oiling. As I said with a proper air feed and a remap you might gain something.
always dreamed of strippin my car and gettin it back together with attention to every detail. this is a good chance to prevent the classic french car squeaks and rattles! some nice upgrades there also ;) let us know the time it took you to finish this project!
good job!
maybe somethin clogged one of the hoses, maybe some debris you had in the tank, although I suspect the pump. take of the hose that leads to the bad jet before anything else imo and see if it's clogged
I'm not aware of such a guide but you'll need another reservoir for the liquid, the one from a normal 172, which has 2 pumps attached to it, then the hoses and the 2 bumper jets. not sure about the electrical stuff (wireing and stuff) but shouldn't be that difficult
you mean the driver's side...
if the carpet's wet you have to check under it. I think there is some poly sponge under or smth like that which in your case could be soakin' wet.. left like this it could take ages to dry
A friend has a r27 and after about a week of rain both footwells were absolutely soaking wet, the carpet...
If gaz coilies go on with the std mounts and the mark fish/ast mounts go with std shocks then yes, they should fit.
Drilling or not won't matter in the coilover/solid mount combo
the k-tec ones also need drilling (can't remember if the ast/mark fish ones need to)
they are all supposed to fit any...
44.. WOW! I think I've never seen this kind of mpg's at 65!Am I wrong in changing the thermostat and the CTS before the pre-cat lambda? The engine seems to go up to temp when warm outside but in these cold days when cruising at above 60 it hardly reaches its normal temp (according to the dash...
I had this on my old R19, VERY annoying, happened to me about three times. it seemed like this circlip was the wrong one fitted and it also damaged the groove it sat on.
To reach it you have to drain the oil and remove the driveshaft.
Permanent fix? new diff (or Gbox? I'm not sure) if the...
I think starter motor. I had the same problem some time ago. started from cold, then drove a little, stopped for a few mins and wouldn't start again! towed the car home and the next day it started as normal.. never had this problem since. (about a year ago)
I also had battery problems. When the...
