looking mint!
gives me some slight keen to fit my trophy replica spoiler....just cant be bothered to get it sprayed....

top notch!

dann2707 · Dec 1, 2015

Cheers mate!

Just booked cadwell park for the 15th Jan.

I just need to source some mega cheap track wheels with tyres and get decent brake pads

So f**king excited. One of the best days ever was at Blyton this year

dann2707 · Dec 5, 2015

Today or tomorrow I'm picking up some Michelin pilot sport 3s.

@bashracing pointed me in the direction of some for £100 for 4 with 6.5mm avg tread on them in 15" size so I'm going to fit them to my team dynamics.

I decided I may as well actually use the 15s for what they're for rather than buying more wheels.

Then just use the ps3s after the track day as I think they're an incredible all rounder. Obviously not a track day tyre in any way shape or form but they'll be much better than my rainsport 3s

Pics later

With the exception of the tail pipes i think it looks spot on!

When you fitted the washer blanks what did you use to block the pipes up?

Bunta · Dec 5, 2015

Good decision mate, i dont bother with a spare set of wheels and just stick to the 16" turinis, for the amount of trackdays I do i dont see the point, the 1.2's look mint on yours

Do you not like the size?

I just bent them over themselves and cable tied them mate.

Cool, will probably swap mine over in next few weeks. Thought they might have been disconnected at the pump.

Tailpipes dont look bad as such, bit too big IMO. All other mods are bang on though, trophy spoiler makes a real difference to he booty

bashracing · Dec 5, 2015

Those PS3's will have been through a very good heat cycle and have a hard layer, use them on the road for a week or two just to scrub them in again and take that hard layer off.

dann2707 · Dec 10, 2015

Picked up the tyres they are currently chilling in my boot!

So good for the price, and he has hundreds in stock too. Massive thanks for that Dave - you always help me with this car :up::up: Appreciate it.

I have just received some black poly bushes for the outer front ARB as mine are pretty grim so will be changing them this week.

I'm also looking at getting the Black series evol dogbone to replace my purple powerflex jobby. Want it stiffffffeeeeerrrrrrrrrrr!!!

Going to be looking under the car too this weekend as my gearstick is so floppy in gear, up and down and left and right. @bashracing pointed me in the direction of the bush directly under the gearstick being worn but it's been replaced quite recently with the @Yanoo stiff shift but it's worth a look! Yanoo should this brass bush wear that quickly?? Not sure!

Will inspect this weekend though - looking forward to doing car stuff again. @Bear Head is also gay.

Haha what is these mystical tyres you speak of? Who has tyres in stock? Haha sounds good!

I thought you'd like that big gearstick flopping around when you're driving? Feel like a c**k floating about in your hand? You'd be able to hold it and just picture me there at all times. Be amazing for you Dan mate!

Yanoo · Dec 10, 2015

If my ball joint housing is fitted properly, the gearstick cannot not move up and down (especially when it is set to stiff). However if it can move, tighten up the adjustment screws and try to move up and down the gear stick. If the whole housing moves a lot, the big circlip might be popped out (it fixes the whole ball joint housing) or the stiffer ball insert might be worn or fitted incorrectly.

They're pilot sport 3s mate but in 15" form. So good for the price.

Haha regarding the dick comments - you know me too well :wink:

Sorry mate its not the up and down motion that's loose it's left and right and forwards and backwards I should have clarified thst.that bit is tight as anything I'm sure everything is tight in there and I'm certain nothing is wrong with your product as when it was first fitted it was incredible. Think something somewhere else is loose or worn but I've replaced a lot of the gear linkage and the gearbox has just had a rebuild and it's still doing it. I'll get a video now of it all. Stay tuned mate.

Was that video done with a potato? Lol! I reckon it's the white plastic bush at the box end mate. You need the car up in the air and someone moving the gearstick whilst you look at the linkage itself.

It was probably down to the lighting mate. There's a circlip that holds it in - that may well have made a bid for freedom.

dann2707 · Dec 12, 2015

@bashracing @NorthloopCup

Thats the bit that looks like it has a lot of play inside despite it being new! It wobbles quite a lot inside you can see there's like an air gap and that moves when I'm putting pressure on it but then again it's supposed to move when changing gear right?

Should there be another washer on there holding it tight?

That's it!! That's the cause of your issue! On some there's a bush that sits on the rod. I've got some spares. :wink:

I don't suppose you have a picture of this. I have these spares that I ordered a while back. It's almost as if the plastic part is causing a nuisance itself by not allowing the bolt to be tightened properly and that's why it's wobbling??

The thing is my rod already has that built in. So confusing. It certainly feels better now I've put a washer under the the nut on the video but I don't understand this plastic bush business.

Well that could be the rod that's worn then mate. You'd need to drop it off to have a look.

Thanks man. Yup went over to dates today and he's diagnosed the pivot rod being worn to fooooook. There's a lot of slop in it. Do you have any parts in stock? Preferably the above part, the clevis knurled bar and the the other rod that has a ball on it half way. Will get part numbers later just on my phone and it's hard to navigate.

I'll have to have a look in the garage and see what spares I've got. The plastic bush is pence from Renault mate.

I'm all good Dan, pooch is doing great A grade squirrel catcher. Got married too which has taken up loads of time so now have a bit more time for the car. I need to fit that bush aswell looks easy enough but it needs to be bashed in (technical term) to stop it popping the circlip out. Got a ph1 stick and yanoo to go in tomorrow.
