CIH Posted May 6, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 6, 2009 Soz Camera phone. Â Had a bodywork dude friend-of-a-friend spray and fit it. It's got a real high-spot above the N/S tail-light but that can't really be helped as the spoiler is a home-brew jobbie. Â Oh and he sorted a ding in the O/S/F wing.

CIH Posted May 15, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 15, 2009 oops had another ikkle spin. This time in the wet but otherwise the same ie; coming out of a corner on acceleration but low speed and not all that aggressive. Â Mounted the central reseration (again) but no bad noises, odd behaviour, wheel position hasn't changed etc phew! 'think I might get some decent rubber. Currently running Nankang M&S, put on by the last owner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CIH Posted May 16, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 16, 2009 Wouldn't mind trying those assymetric Verdensteins now that you mention it but I'm skint! Â Oh and maybe more rear camber, say -1'15 to 1'40ish ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CIH Posted May 17, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 17, 2009 Had it on the Hunter today and save for some toe nothing suggested any problems.  Wouldn't mind trying those assymetric Verdensteins now that you mention it but I'm skint! Oh and maybe more rear camber, say -1'15 to 1'40ish ?  What camber do you have on the front?  Not much! -10" N/S and zero camber on the O/S. Something else, I'm not certain the rear stub-axles can be removed to fit shims y'know.   Nankang = ditch finders  It was terrible driving homw in a deluge just now.....

CIH Posted May 24, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 24, 2009 Damn it! Spent all my weekend-off preping and spraying my tail-lights (and front bumper) but the N/S brake light refuses to work, despite working before and at every stage when I tested them! Â What zorst you looking at to spend that much? Â Custom Stainless from turbo-back, by the likes of Powerflow, Long-Life etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Posted May 24, 2009 Report Share Posted May 24, 2009 Odd..... i assume the cluster connections match? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CIH Posted May 25, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 25, 2009 Well it's kinda complicated as the uk lights had a reverse, the 6packs had a seperate reverse so the loom is "missing" a bulb. The US loom plugged in but I had a permant brake light on when the foglight was switched on- something else the 6packs didn't have. Â They worked fine with the uk loom stuffed in to the US carrier with the reverse light redundent, but then it wouldn't physically fit into the cluster without some messing about. They worked fine untill that point....? So currently got no brake light on the N/S but the tail light is ok (same bulb, different element). Â Does any of this make sense ?
