is this the conversion we were arguing it needed the bores honing??? hmm....

hold one up in the turret yourself mate. thats my experiance of them,,, un biased. i've now put renault mounts back on as 1 i couldnt stand the banging for minimal improvement in handling 2 every time i put it on the tracking gauges it had changed best bet is to check it yourself

sounds like aqua planing

i had the compbrake ones and they are utter sh*t nobody else seems to have clocked yet that they dont actually fit the turret properly ie when not tightened up they slop about in the turret yes they are solid once tightened,, but bumps in the road etc jolt them causing camber/caster...

you sir are talking rubbish ever felt the difference in weight between a 1.2 assembled front subframe and the same from a 172???? mines on 1.2 running gear and has survived 5k of abuse so far

thats the ones,, they are such a nice wheel,, 15inch and the offset is much better (old wheels looked lost in the arches) they are a stepping stone to comp mo's lol

f4r has a rubber gasket

finally got the new wheels bolted on. considering its on 1.2 running gear still the 30 offset fills the wide archers surprisingly well. question is it could do with 10mm spacers on the front, but cant find any in hubcentric?? are these still relatively safe as i would have thought the spigot...

yeah,, i slipped on the 0 button lol

nope,, an out of shape tyre wont affect where the weight is on the wheel (the balance) they should visually see it yeah, but as i said...

m6x1.0 thread and about 200mm long from memory? any old bolt will do

no, thats why they are tyre fitters. black and round? check...

mis shapen tyre is my bet... wont be wheel balancing as thats 50mph plus

is that not someones goes by the name of storm force or something like that? i was around lakeside.. i was following a drift (i know it was a drift car as the arse end was bouncing all over the road due to locked diff) RX7 last night around that sort of area... was going to follow it and see...

lol i love that road !

there you go.. hate them!

yeah, i work at a professional garage. all im saying is, mechanics arent born with an enclyopedic knoledge of how every engine bay is layed out.. yes you can figure it out... but finishing other peoples jobs takes twice the time it would if you started the job.. hence many not taking it on...

taking it aparts a peice of piss, putting it back together involved a few techniqes etc that need to be thought about for a decent rebuild you also need to think about the fact that unless i had done countless of those particular car personally, i wouldnt take the job on if somebody else had...

try woodford euro car parts if you need bearings pressed in/abs rings fitting i can do it based in dagenham

didnt see you mate ! i have a habit of doing that, people shouting and waving at the side of the road i don't even notice them lol

def leaking shocks, get them checked

leaking shocks

it anoys me a bit as when i jump in other cars when its dark i forget to turn the lights on

and that sounds like leaking front shocks

just seen your in basildon, if you want to drive to dagenham,, i'll do it for you after work @ 50 a side.

wishbones, common as anything,, change about 3 a day 12 quid a go from euro car parts, and half hour a side to change if you have never done it before just to expand on that a bit,, its the forward bushes on the lower suspension arms that wear.. but wishbones are so cheap you just...

you cant really go by how tight it was to undo as you have to account for rust/the inital crack as it were yeah wheelbearing would do it.. put it on axle stands and run it up in 1st then put it in neutral and switch if off.. youl need a mate to see if you are getting vibrations up the...

cant see it being gearbox related,, poss N/S shaft imbalanced?? things like warped discs could do that too,, real guess work without seeing it though

whats the fault

it dosn't fit the car. i shortened mine, and if you fit it starting at the backbox so it sits perfect and work forward the center section points at the floor had to cut it and bend it up
