What Eagles?...... i was off the afternoon visiting the tooth doctor. Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 235x40x17

I will be poping down to have my Eagles fitted saturday , thanks .

Thanks Tony , good tip ,

you need as much rubber as you can get with your monster on an 8" you can go for 225 or 235 with a 40 profile Thanks Bazza i have worn the rear tyres down , will get the 235x40x17

When my wheels was 7x17 and tyres 214x45x17 , my wheels are now 8x17 , so what size tyres should i fit please ?

Some of which i will be having .

An excellent turnout of LOC members today , the biggest amount of Lex's i've ever been with , a big thankyou tony & co for a great day

That's a very good spec

The Jag 3.8 had a reputation of being "Bulletproof"

Thanks Tony , very good information , i'm not gonna drift my baby , but i might boot her a few times round the bend I don't know where your current Geometry rests but unless it's distressed save your money..... I need a HD tv if you have any pennies to spare .... I'll be your best mate TDI have all my pennies

Thanks Tony , very good information , i'm not gonna drift my baby , but i might boot her a few times round the bend

Hi Tony , i would like your advice on the Cusco negative adjustable upper arms , what do they do ? , and how would my car benifit from them ? thanks Dave p.s. if anybody else has any info it would be welcome , thanks again

Loads of grease and a rubber boot , if you cant find a boot use some strong plastic and cable tie's .

An exhaustive search has located the missing bacon roll. It has a bite out of it though. Shall we send it back to you in the post? Well thankyou for finding my bacon roll , if it's only had one bite out of it can you put it in the fridge for me and i will pick it up later

It was a great turn out of cars and people , would of loved to see the Bentley on the dyno , and that yamaha (bike) is a smiling machine , a great day , great cars , great TDI workshop , a non-stop supply of tea and coffee and chocolate , a big thankyou to Mark and the TDI team . p.s. did anybody find a bacon roll in a bag coz i lost one

I hope Neil can make it

I've seen a lot of bolts with there head sheared off

I would always use studs , you can strip a thread on nut or stud and change them , if you over tighten a bolt it will bugger the thread in the block and it will have to be heli-coilled , also the force of torsion will be different when torqued up beteen a bolt and a stud and nut .

Hi , just to let you know that the rear adjustable control arms are working at treat , when going at a very high speed on a sweeping curved road the car felt very "planted" and kept a much better line , when befor it wanted to push to the side and take me wide . It feels shure footed like its on rails , even at slow speeds i can feel the benefit , a very good improvement on the handling , a "must have" for anyone with a lowerd car . also i've found that it keeps a straighter line with less steering correction .

I was talking to sam today and i always learn something new or get a better understanding , i just wish i could remember everything he has told me , top bloke in my book , mind you there all top blokes at TDI and i never come away without learning something from anyone of them .

in the old days we used to hand scrap and that would leave a pattern . it wasnt cylinders , it was lathe beds and sliding keyways and the like , but still to aid sliding surfaces .

what sort of clutch should i fit to my lexus is200 which can cope with about 400bhp and give me a good feel and not to brutal so as not to spill my coffee when pulling away , but can also do plenty of fast starts , i dont mind changing clutches every year or so for a smooth operation ?

Two for me please

so your belt was breaking up too , 6 years or 100,000 miles for a belt , thats pushing it a bit for all the stress and conditions it has to put up with i think , we've both been lucky they did'nt break

the max bhp on STD internals is approx 260 bhp befor it go's bang , the belt change at 6 years or 100,000 miles by lexus is a long time , my belt was 6 years old with 60,000 miles and was found to be delaminating ( falling apart ) , ive looked for stronger belts too , with no joy ,
