Re: Red G-Limited crash in norwich

i think he probably took it just too fast in the bad conditions. It hadnt rained thursday im pretty sure, but the damp air had formed a nasty layer of dew on the road, which was probably the mistake. It looked bad for the car, but im pretty sure driver was ok.... Im not sure if that was me who poste...

It wasnt too far from ke...

Re: Adding Lockwood dials

lockwood dials are a good, white dial that look good in the day but when backlit are very blotchy with your stock lights. I had to install extra backlights at certain points behind the dials. The result was brilliant. Ill send some pics if you guys want. I know with the luminescent dials, they have ...

Re: Solid hub / sprung hub clutches ?

solid means theres no springs between the hub and drive plate..so if you were to "drop" your clutch it would be quite hard. Sprung means there are a set of springs between the hub and drive plate..so you get a dampened grip.. hth.. im guessing solid would be better for drag/burnouts...?

Re: CLUTCH PROBLEM HELP !!!

ive had the exact same thing. its usually two things. one is the release bearing sometimes tends to cease up slowly and is accompanied by a squeaking when the clutch is depressed, which also causes less pressure from the spring in the clutch to return. The second is gumming up of the master cylinder...

Re: Knocking noise when i break?

be on the precautious side and check the calipers for movement.. i had the knocking sound a few months back which turned out to be knackered slider pins and bolts on the calipers.. the only way i found out was when my caliper fell off when i was doing 70...not nice...... :shock:
