tony got his hands on the starlet today
felt a little squidgy, so thought best have it looked at
well after some fantastic work by tony, it now feels a whole heap better
unbelivable difference
and is now driving like it never has before,
a huge thank you to tony
you are the man
tony has also qualified as an anti roll bar fitter

oh i am a lowrider still bazza.. buuuut still needed to get the geom sorted.. main reason is the front passenger wheel rubbing on the arch when i turn right hard,
cant be a proper low rider if tony can get his prongs under your bits

i thought you were one us low riders

by replacing the ARB with a thicker/stiffer one
will the geometry be affected ??
Simply no.
The polar centre and the angular yaw would not move nor would the centre of gravity. The roll % would allow lateral possibilities but the conclusion is totally dependant on the driver.... knowing you it would be absolute.... and 'stiff'
ooohh i like stiff
think i will need a check soon, just worried that i might upset the geometry when they are put on
mind you..its fingers crossed i get the car back this weekend

You'll still need to put the cat back on for MOT time.
Seeminly not.... i know of a few from LOC who have had a de-cat and their cars still most the MOT.... just!
most from LOC have only removed the pre-cats , the main cat remains, and will only pass the MOT if tested whilst hot
the pre-cats are there to act as a primary cat untill the main cat reaches operating temperature

interesting reading
what if there are two bands
<<<<<<< as in over there
-
wheel nuts/bolts
how tight should they be
A. finger tight
B. as tight as you can get them, using a scaffold pole as leverage
it seems the norm for most tyre fitters to set their torque to its highest level, just so us mere mortals with hand tools have to break our arms trying to undo them again
is there a rough guide on how tight they should be
obviously one that wouldnt involve using torque settings as there not allways available

"Todays Active Posts" at the top of the page plz
Oh my G.OD my eyesight is going as i've just seen it at the top of the page unless you did as i asked in record time.

keep your mits of my 888`s
i have just changed from symetrical tyres to asymetrical on the zaffy
also gone from 185x65x15 to 225x45x17
ive noticed road holding is far superior....but tramlining is more noticable
but... it is so easy to wheelspin when pulling away, yet they offer far more grip in normal driving
any explanations
oh and the other day i noticed a nail head in the front right
today i notice a screw head in front left
are these tyres magnetic or what !
must remember to get them seen to
if i can pick up a bit of wood in the rear , i will be able to put a shelf up

tony
maybe the picture but .......whats wrong with it ??
Look closely at the tyre were the drive shaft enters the hub..... that narrow band of white near the top is the inner construction of the tyre exposed due to the wear.... only 10mm wide but very deep in comparison to the rest of the tyre......... hence the 'silent killer'......... and horror of the week!
now its pointed out .......

Hello!
I was doing some fantasy shopping of alloys when I started thinking what and how the handling would be affected with different sized front and rear wheels.
What would happen if you have 205/50R15 at the front and 225/40R16 at the back? Similar overall height but the sidewall of the front is greater than the rear. Or more qualitively how would the handling differ from having say 225/40R16 all round?
You would have a 'Wilmslow' moment
Sorry
I'm sure someone with some knowledge will be able to answer this one and what is a wilmslow moment , or is that a personal thing

......erm .... .........mmmmm........ ........ok you lost me somewhat

I'll get me coat
No... but in principle the ABC is a valuable addition for all members that use it! failure to recognise the alternative suggestions will always filter through..... 'that's life'.

your = you`re
I left my self open for you Bazza .......
my self = myself
i like this game
New sentence, therefore your "i" should be capital I.
True,
In fact an I on its own should allways be an I and never an i

Tony, your a joker........... you post in the "spell checker" thread ....... with a spelling mistake ! lol
easyer = easier
your = you`re

i see your point
ok for starters 1/4 mile races at santa pod
i guess:
low front tyre pressures
hard damping at rear
now would the front damping be better soft or hard
and would camber be worth considering
