Looks like youve done a good job there

Lol

A rose joint is a spherical bearing

A solid metal joint is a bearing, looks like the sbits ones just have protective boots on the end to keep the crap out of the bearings

Needs an mr2 picture really, not an mx5 :p

I think the biggest reason people get into tank slappers in mr2s is they lift off. They then regain grip when they still have lots of lock on and the car fires the other way. as in http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jfrDRul7S38 However I would still agree with both Lauren and Luke. If you are too slow t...

I had these and they were and absolute ass to get off.

Went to a guy on ebay who welded a big rod to them and undid them in about 15 minutes.

He also runs a lorry recovering business and guarantees to remove them, even had a cup of tea waiting for me

Did yours make a loud bang / clunk noise on every rotation?

Sounds like a replacement gearbox will be easier than anything else.

Nope, had it in the air today for a good luck underneath. Also had a friend look over it who agreed with me. The driveshaft I have just fitted is shagged. Both wheel bearings are shot, drivers side especially so Some sort of bearing in the diff has gone meaning that the driveshaft spins off centre a...

Also jap cars tend to be built to modify... I don't mean as in its irresistible to tweak them but that there is a whole load of extra capacity engineered in but unused

Thats helpful which mk fiesta?

Also I now need a passenger side drive shaft.....dont suppose anybody has one floating about? mk1b

The wrong links for a normal Mk1 Paul If i understand correctly OP didn't know he needed different to normal, so ordered normal ones If he'd been sent something else he'd have sent em back under complaint That's what I made of his posts This is it. I bought some for a standard mk1, I didnt know if ...

Like i already said mate, they're the wrong ones. I know you already said that but it doesnt agree with the below? My car has stock (original) droplinks Mr Luke The heads face opposite ways like the ones in your pic & the rods look same length Looks to me like you need to use different links wi...

Do I have the right ones for a standard mk1? If not Ill send them back and get replacements otherwise I will have to buy some from somewhere else. I dont like the way it drives with these fitted but when I bought the car one link was snapped so its never driven properly lol. At the moment it lifts t...

Bought these replacement drop links off ebay for the rear of an AW11. My car has a mk2 turbo rear arb so do I need different links? Car was fine when I put it together but about a week later it makes a good awful racket when driving along. I cant find anything loose but these links dont look right t...

A better distribution of the braking force is the main benefit from increasing numbers of pistons i.e. squeezing the disc in 2 places works better than just 1.

Are the discs the same size on the st165 setup? If not you will have a larger leverage effect. It may be the same force but applied at a greater distance from the pivot, moving the earth and all that.

How is the fuelling controlled? What boost are you running? 8psi? Late spec 'smallport' ae92 4agze block running aw11 supercharger electronics,ecu and injectors fitted with a Garrett T25 turbocharger. In its current form it is set at 10psi on the wastegate, but i will be aiming for 1 bar. Now you s...

ooo not sure on the blended arches but other than that looks like a fantastic project

They are quite rare but I have one and I know someone else who has one in the North West. There are rarer colours around like a dark metallic red, a metallic blue/turquoise, and the two tone Sherwood which is metallic green over champagne. I've never seen any of these colours on the road but have s...
