Be warned that not all drop-links have the same threads. I bought a set of 4 and found that the nuts off the front wouldn't fit on the rear DLs. Course, I only discovered this after trying to tighten the nut onto the DL. I managed to salvage the thread on the DL by recutting it and I needed an M10 x...

Ouch!

Seems like most of it's still there so it doesn't look like it let go really badly, at least.

Does anybody have regular punctures with low profile tyres?
Seems like whenever I see a LP tyre flat it's always ripped the sh*t out of the sidewall in the process.

How come the pic' on the previous page shows a 3S-FE nose and the finished pic's on this page have foglights? [/trainspotter]

Car looks terrific though.

So does this mean that the Mustang replica is xxxx but the Ferrari one is fantastic? Does this mean that you can knock some replicas but not others? Can you narrow your minds to some kits but not others? And finally.... ARE YOU A BUNCH OF HYPOCRITS!!!!!!???????? :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :eye: ...

That looks pretty decent to me.

It's a Batmobile, right?

I always think of Radweld as an emergency response item (kinda like those tyre sealant spray doodads) rather than a proper repair. Thing is, back in the days of Morris Marinas and Mk2 Escorts, engines weren't as well designed so it probably wouldn't matter if the cooling system lost a couple of perc...

How did you apply the sealant? Best thing to do is squeeze a smear of it onto a bit of cardboard and keep poking at it until you know it's going tacky. Once you know how long it takes, run a bead of it around the sump and leave it for that length of time before fitting it to the car. If you simply a...

Sam, you've probably got camber adjustment bolts in there (as have I). Not worth undoing them if you can avoid it because you don't know if you've got camber adjustable bolts until you take them out and then you need another wheel alignment :) Surely you could take one bolt out, see if it's a loose...

Fish eyes arent the problem, I think your eyes are the problem if you cant see eveything thats wrong with that car, especially as you have a comparison with the real; thing. It's a crap imitation. Once again pure comedy that someone else jumps in and defends a MR2 covers in plastic to make it look ...

It looks like a huge bumble bee.

Always nice to get a car looking like new though.

I just posted summat about a similar thing a couple of weeks ago. Thing is, the 4 wheel sensors give off a signal and the amplitude AND frequency are measured. If three wheels are giving similar signals and one is different the ECU assumes the one that's different is at fault. Here's what happened t...

Why not just spend the money you wasted on a replica and get a proper car, like an Exige. Better looking, better performance in every way and its real. Except that maybe the person doesn't actually LIKE the way an Exige looks. To me, building a Ferrari replica because you like the way it looks is e...

The ARB isn't the problem.

There's usually no way to get the top end of the DL in between the strut and the inner wheelarch.

FWIW, I know you can get self-adhesive T-logo badges made of bendy rubber off eBay. The one I got was a solid oval pad with a raised silver T logo and the background was painted black. Might come in handy for the curved boot lid as long as you can find one with the correct coloured background. Won't...

Top-tip: Loosen the 2 bolts holding the hub to the strut then remove the top bolt completely. This will allow the hub to pivot downward and, importantly, the strut will move outward just enough that you can get the drop link in behind it. Careful doing that, loosening those bolts can affect your ca...

It's usually easier to fit them facing outward cos it's a bu88er to tighten the nut and, if you've got DLs with a hex-end on the thead, there's no room to get an allen key in. If the DLs will go on facing the wrong way I don't suppose it's a big deal. You might regret doing it that way when the time...

Yeah, apologies, you must be right. I must be pathetic because I respect other people's material and interlectual property. I'm sure the design houses, watch makers, music companies, movie studios etc ect are all very taken aback by all the 'flattery' at the moment. You want to show flattery? BUY T...

Uhuh,

I think a lot of us probably used to drive rather inconsiderately when we were younger.

I sometimes think it's more luck than judgement that we grow out of it without hurting ourselves or anybody else.

Course, some people don't grow out of it at all.
