Daniels Blue 182.

[Ashh]

I ordered them from tyre leader in the end. I've gone for rainsports purely because they are only £32 a corner!! So chheap

Free delivery too :smile:

Haha cheers! Think I might get some in the next month or 2. Mine have plenty of tread left but my front's don't match my rears :unamused:

 

[josh11490]

Got a link to them rainsports mate? My F1s are needing 2 new on the front soon!

Seeing these make me consider selling the F1s and get 1.2s...

 

[chrishesketh]

Going from nankangs to rainsports is horrible, rainsports have soft sidewalls so when using 196/50/15 you can really tell! Only just starting to get use to them after 1000 miles [emoji17] might try the federal a next time round I think

Wheels look good cas coatings are the cheapest around for powder coat i keep looking at rs3 tyres might wait for your experiences first,
But why do you have a little girls bicycle in your bedroom?

Which Nankangs?

I have the Uniroyals on my clio turbo and i find them fine, i dont get much spin in 1st and 2nd let alone corners, loads of grip imo.

Nankang ns-2r the sidewalls are solid and the grip is great! I'm not saying rainsports don't have grip, they're excellent! Just that goof from semi slicks back to normal tires I can feel more roll

Ahh yes they will be softer than semi slicks obviously, but then again you dont boot the car on every day roads like you do track.

How the funk did you get that? I'm on 29.9 and can't get it to 30mpg to save my life haha.

I get that in the turbo lol, I used to average 33 standard.

Mines due belts doing and I'm going to be servicing it in the next month or so so hopefully that should help. Oh, and sort my blowing exhaust out haha.

I'll let you know how I feel about them. I think i'm going to be disappointed compared to the PS3's but so much cheaper.

Could do with coming around and having a look to see where you've mounted the harnesses for your bucket soon if you don't mind!

haha the bike may look feminine but it's used to do manly (sort of) s**t on

Motorway and a very slow speed on cruise control, no traffic too!

:grimacing:

Get these on and let me take some half decent pics of it!

edit: they look like exactly the same colour I had my Turinis done in many moons ago at the same place:

Best bean 182 ive seen

Wheels look good dan

 

[Jekyll]

That is decent!!

I need some new tyres and I had a look at ado8's but theybwas £80+ a corner. I'm really put of by Michelin's. People rave about the rsinsports and at that price, that's very good!

 

[mak2503]

Pretty impressive that jump. I love mountain biking but don't think I would have the bottle to do that kind of jump. The back tyre is taking a bit of pounding.

 

[dann2707]

Slight bit of progress in terms of fitting parts, but no progress in terms of my issues

I've been having an issue of when i'm in gear, I can wobble the gearstick left and right by quite a lot which gives a horrible feeling

So I ordered a few replacement parts for the gearbox. I noticed that the conrod pictures below, was looseish and I could wobble it a bit so I ordered a new one. Along with the white bush that holds the ball end of the conrod

IMAG0290 by dann2707, on Flickr


I thought it was the conrod that was worn but after vernier calipering the other part @warwickstingray knows the name of this, it's a weird one! I noticed that mine was oval, as shown in the pics

IMAG0294 by dann2707, on Flickr

IMAG0299 by dann2707, on Flickr

So I cut it off as I had a replacement part from yanoo, which was a solid bush as the pic below:

IMAG0302 by dann2707, on Flickr


I cut it off and drilled through it

IMAG0300 by dann2707, on Flickr

IMAG0301 by dann2707, on Flickr



Which allowed me to fit the new bush

IMAG0303 by dann2707, on Flickr

The bush actually goes the other way but now it's lovely and tight, no sloppiness at all. It didn't solve my issue with it going left and right whilst in gear though which is annoying but I have noticed it going into gear SO much nicer, it just glides in and i'm really happy with that transition.

Just need to try and find what is up with the lateral movement.

Massive thanks to @warwickstingray and @NorthloopCup for the parts codes and help with my stupid questions on that a few weeks ago

 

[Nick_Leeds]

Nice work. I've been stopped in my tracks trying to shorten the linkage, the fucker won't come apart!

Which bit is it you're trying to remove?

 

[Jekyll]

You need to paint the dash strips me 'ol son!

 

[dann2707]

What colour do we reckon? Might do them the same colour as the wheels!

I want my a pillars doing in alacantara too but the guy on here doesn't do it now apparently

 

[Yanoo]

Dan, you should not have done that! You have converted the pivot-type long linkage end to a piece of sh..t. 😧 That will not work in long run. Strongly suggested to get a new linkage end! This weakened screw solution may cause accident! It is written in the fitting instruction that small bush is for fork type linkage. It is not suitable for pivot type linkage end!
The vid you sent me in PM cleary shows that left-right movement of the gear stick is coming from the gearbox. All JB/JC gearboxes have internal play. Some gearboxes have this play in 3rd or 5th, some have in 5th or 1st, 2nd.

Highly appreciated that man, just about to order this which is the filtration module so I can just swap it straight over. The car is off the road in a few days anyway as it's getting the gearbox refurbished and fitted with a new selector shaft seal as mines leaking all over.

http://www.allcarpartsfast.co.uk/renault/renault-8200201750-filtration-module/

Out of interest and not to question your knowledge obviously but where does the concern lay? Is it with the stresses on the bolt?! When I took it for a drive yesterday it felt sublime changing gear.

 

[Nick_Leeds]

The bit as pictured in your vice Dan it's stuck fast in the linkage. I've devised a cunning plan but I'm going to stick some pictures up in my thread, I'll tag you in so you can offer your opinion as to whether it'll work lol.

Hi mate, where you getting the box refurbed? I'm going to get mine done after my hols as its crunching from 2nd to 3rd at high revs.

He's doing it in a day, told him about my crunch going into 4th and said it won't be a problem to sort out but my main concern is the leak. Especially with wanting to do more track days this year, can't be having no gearbox oil 🙈 haha

 

[Nick_Leeds]

Dan my linkage end is the similar yours (after you cut/drilled), it came from a Scenic- i don't know if it had been modified like yours or if they used a different linkage end on the scenics maybe? Anyway It has been absolutely fine ever since I fitted it a year ago, it was on another car for some time before this.

The one I took off and replaced looked like yours did before you cut and drilled it.

 

[Mr Plums]

Sound mate cheers, my crunch is going from 2nd to 3rd, you will have to let me know what he charges you bud

£120 all in to take it apart and fit the new seal and make it right. The garage near me is removing and re-fitting the gearbox for the same price too so £240 all in and this is all happening whilst i'm away in sunny Krakow so i'll be coming back to a lovely non-leaking car fingers crossed.

Obviously it'll be more if they have to fit new syncromeshes etc.

 

[dann2707]

Just gave the car a quick wash. It's slowly creeping up to the 100,000 mile mark but it's still soldiering on Pretty pleased with the paintwork overall to say it's 11 years old.

That's a good price! I'd be tempted to do mine at that cost just for piece of mind! Lol. [emoji5]

Brears is ok and does gearboxes for most garages in Leeds, just don't ask him which oil to use as he just says 10/40 engine oil regardless.???

 

[dann2707]

Is it gloopy and does it smell funny? Yep, stick it in haha
