Re: Wheels by - CARDHORE - LEGEND..!!!!

Sorry folks, my 2 is now sold so I don't have a car to show them on currently.

As a result they are available for sale if anyone is interested, if so drop me a message.

Re: Handbrake problems

I'm not disputing what you're saying, but it didn't work with the pin in place so I don't think that's the cause of my issue, but noted for future when I replace the pads.

Re: Handbrake problems

not sure, it looks to me like its totally the wrong cable with it having very little possible cable travel... My theory is that the caliper is all working its just that the lever cant be pulled far enough to make it function and apply the brake Does anyone know the actual difference between one of t...

Re: Handbrake problems

Yes, its fully floating....

And I ground off the pin as not to cause problems as advised in another post i found by paul at woodsport so shouldn't be that causing a problem i don't think.

Re: Strut /Top Mount ****DUST COVER/Pink Washer****

yes those ( until now ) totally useless foam washers that come ontop of a stack of CD's now have a use.

Fitted perfectly on the shaft and just covered the bearing so should work a treat :thumleft:

Re: Strut /Top Mount ****DUST COVER/Pink Washer****

I stripped my struts last night to fit the Foam CD washers and once i got under the topmount realised that the bearing was a sealed bearing anyway so there was no real point in having a dust cover. #-o

But i fitted the foam washer anyway :thumleft:

Re: Strut /Top Mount ****DUST COVER/Pink Washer****

Similar in thickness to a leather belt...

Maybe that would work, and it would likely last longer than the foam..

I shall investigate :idea:

Re: Strut /Top Mount ****DUST COVER/Pink Washer****

Jesus :shock:

Nice to see there not pulling your pants down for those

Are they Metal or a foam washer ?

I might just make some out of hi-density foam or rubber.

Strut /Top Mount ****DUST COVER/Pink Washer****

So, on re-assembly of the strut between the top mount and the spring cup is apparently a dust cover ?? Do i need to re-fit this strange looking foam washer ? Is it possible to make one out of anything else ? Or do I have to order a fresh pair from from Mr T or will anywhere else supply them ? #-o

Re: Quiet stainless exhaust for NA

Maybe I'm just getting old, but above 60mph all you can hear a dull drone. I haven't fully checked, but having had a quick look i would say the standard CAT has been removed and a Mongoose decat fitted as its not a straight pipe like most decat's its torpedo shaped one.. I'm just hoping that if its ...

Re: Quiet stainless exhaust for NA

So is the Mongoose system a lot quieter if you add a cat back into the system ?

That might be an option if i have a mongoose decat on it.. I need to check

Re: Quiet stainless exhaust for NA

I have a full Mongoose system from the manifold back and to be honest want something that doesn't drone as much as above 60mph it's annoying. Does anyone know if I will be able to just bolt on after the mongoose cat/de-cat pipe a standard replacement backbox ?? or do I need to take the whole system ...
