Re: [Mk2] [NA] Changing wheel bearings Rev2 Import NA

Re: [Mk2] [Generic] 19mm Nut removal

When this happens to me I dont waste time I just angle grind them off.

Im sure you would be able to get the grinder in there easy enouth and those bolts are really easy to come by from scrappy breakers etc.

Re: How much wear does a trackday put on tyres?

I ended up losing aprox 2-3mm of tread which wernt too bad considering I spent the afternoon going sideways and completely spinning off a few times but I also destroyed my clutch and maybe gearbox although im yet to investigate it :?

Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] using old tyres for drag strip???

On another note jimGTS how do you find the 40 profile compared to the 35?
Why did you change to the 40 profile as 245/35 is a nye on stock rolling radius?
I have 245/35/17 and am due a tyre change.

Re: [Mk2] [NA] Steering Rack Play?

Are you talking about the ball joints on inner rack arms?
or the ball joints on the track rod ends?
or the ball joints themselves?

anyways all are fairly easy to replace and no you wont need to change the whole rack.

Re: [Mk2] [Generic] Steerings got play

ok ive had a better look,

Nearside front Koni shocker is leaking/knackered,

nearside front bearing has small play,

inner track rod has a small amount of play,

offside rear bearing has definite play,

Both rear tyres are really worn on inside edge, and need replacing.
