chees- Posted January 26, 2012 Author Share Posted January 26, 2012 dunno, loosen, jack up, undo, give it a jiggle redo, jack down and tighten see what that does.Your wheels look like they have been redrilled at some stage for the multifit? maybe they aren't quite perfect figured it out, tapers are different on nut compared to wheel, nuts shorter and round, wheels long and flat also i love my exhaust, protects my sump and gearbox like a champ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chees- Posted January 28, 2012 Author Share Posted January 28, 2012 nuts didn't fix it completely, but made it alot better and handles better for some reason? blaming vibrations on crappy redrilling, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xsspeed Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 bizarre, would think it would either cure it or no change at all. Do you feel vibration through the steering wheel? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chees- Posted January 28, 2012 Author Share Posted January 28, 2012 bizarre, would think it would either cure it or no change at all. Do you feel vibration through the steering wheel? could before, almost can't now, its quite a solid slow up and down, but each side is slightly out of sink, so the steering wheel would shudder left then right then back and so on now the steering wheel barely moves but you can still feel vibrations through the floor, would take it in for alignment but these wheel are only temporary so no point Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlownCorona Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 thats quite likely actual wheel balancing, are their any weights on the rims? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlownCorona Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 its possible, maybe even the drive shafts or something, but to be honest, noone on this forum is likly to own a car that dosnt vibrate a little Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaMpylobacter Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 middy's car has alloys that are cock in a shirtsleeve type difference between hub spigot and hole in alloy. got tyre guys to slam some nylon hubcentric rings on to help it out. still shakes a bit but think that's down to a tyre out of round as it stops it's shaking after driving for an hour or more. hah.

chees- Posted January 29, 2012 Author Share Posted January 29, 2012 i picked up some more suitably crap wheels, also pretty sure its wheel balance so i'll take them back to firestone, they were closed today but will get onto them asap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DB8-TypeR Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 If you can find a DA Integra Front lip at the wreckers with a heatgun and a sharp knife you can make a pretty decent rear lip that matches the front nicely Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chees- Posted January 29, 2012 Author Share Posted January 29, 2012 hmm yea, not sure if i want a rear lip, but will keep it in mind Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DB8-TypeR Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 Furry Muff, I just like how you can have black front lip, black side skirts then finish it off with a black rear lip. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chees- Posted February 1, 2012 Author Share Posted February 1, 2012 nope, guard gap on full lock, ie none, does a law even exist against that? and to cover his tracks also put that it hadn't been checked since crash. i basically had to tell him what the law was, fucking gay cause i had a cop give me the all clear in thames, i would've told him to fuck off if it weren't for the crash damage and only got 15 days left on wof also all my springs are captive and safe, rear shocks are worn out but i've got some to replace them just need to borrow some spring compressors Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chickity Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 Had friends who got pink stickered for having no catalytic converter, took pic under car, showed cop cat, response 'I don't know what I'm looking at'... How can you say it doesn't have one if you don't even know what one is... Sometimes they're just having a bad day and will ping you for anything. If there really isnt a law against it (check with warrant guy), you can dispute it. In other news - we have a spring compressor you can borrow if you want to venture out to collect it.

xsspeed Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 I have spring compressors you can borrow bro. Is it the lip inside the guard thats rubbing? You could tappity tap that out pretty easily, or roll guards with some pipe. Only issue is cracking paint, heating the guard up helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikuni Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 Just a heads up, due to the tiny and compressed nature of the springs in these cars, normal spring compressors don't usually fit. I believe there are some you can get that fit, but the normal sort you pick up from repco/supercheap I've never had much luck with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
