purple highline monster 0 Posted February 8, 2007 Report Share Posted February 8, 2007 just make sure you do at least 50 easy miles to bed them properly first or you wont stop and it will warp the fook outta them! Link to post Share on other sites

purple highline monster 0 Posted February 8, 2007 Report Share Posted February 8, 2007 forgot pads!!! only a grand in a year? i have done about 2k in a month!!! and i still have a whole set of genuine pads/discs/wheel bearings/abs rings sitting in my garage! bought them when i got the car nearly 3 years ago! havnt done enough miles to wear them out yet! being changed soon though for showtime looks if nothing else Link to post Share on other sites
jims13 6 Posted February 9, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 9, 2007 well, box is off, ive been having intermitant cluch slip, looked at the clutch and the outer edges have worn down, and two ro three of the teeth on the pressure plate are bent, also the release bearing id fudged. also my gearbox mount and front mount are non existant, so i reckon its all orig stuff. we're thinking pressure from the engine moving, has caused the clutch to wear early.still built the shocks up , and they are ready to go on, as are discs with new bearing in the rear.

purple highline monster 0 Posted February 9, 2007 Report Share Posted February 9, 2007 its worth putting new rear abs rings and the 8mm carrier bolts on the rear too, they always round out and the abs rings rust up and are hard to get off keeping them straight! heat somtimes gets em off but new is best!

jims13 6 Posted February 9, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 9, 2007 anyone got a exploded view of the build up of the front shocks, i.e top mounts to springs, i thinki may have the metal cap on the wrong way up. or i might not !!! but now im worried. Link to post Share on other sites
