have you thought about your power steering pump yet? if you use the one off the v7 motor your high pressure line wont bolt up. easy to swap the whole line over before your engine goes in. your original pump wont fit with that intake pipe

Hey mate, thanks for the heads up. I discussed this with my mechanic yesterday and he has a V7 power steering pump that he\'ll fit, I just need to source a set of lines. It seems there are going to be a few issues and I\'m starting to think a rebuild would have been the easier/quicker option...

Anymore advise/input, please add to the thread below:

New windscreen wiper blades! Next best thing to a new car

Also broke something so converted to parallel twin

[Stoffa]

Tightened up all 8 bolts on my inlet manifold after they came loose. turns out my tune was fine just had massive boost/vacuum leaks.

[funkytown]

oh dear...lol good fine though dude!

[Stoffa]

Yeah real random, was leaning on it and felt it move. i guess running spacers and two sets of gaskets maybe it needdd retorqing. was a little paranoid about over tightning them too.

tire decided to let go....

[92LEGESI]

Haha yeah its weird as the rear are straight but the front looks weird cambered...

215/45/18s sitting on 18x8s so the stretch is nothing extreme

wheel alignment time me thinks

skids are fun, on the track lol

[Stoffa]

Has it had a flat before and been run on? Or been driven on when half flat. thats where a tyre gets worn on the inside from running not enough pressure

[92LEGESI]

i checked pressures and everything seemed ok, front was different 5psi though which is why i evened them out

although front camber is pretty bad

unless the car looks like the wheels are falling off .. its very much not going to be out side edge camber or toe wear.. for camber and toe to wear like that on the outside the wheels would be tucked up into the car like plane wheels when they put them away.. from my view its either very light guard rub or as stoffa said damage from being driven on flat.. or even from low pressure

[Zitchu]

Yea was just going to say it doesn\'t really look like camber wear, more like the tyre has been rubbing on something.

[92LEGESI]

Yeah rubbing was the first thing i checked and there was nothing it could rub on as the camber sits nowhere near the guard.

low pressure sounds about right though as the inner on the opposite side has worse camber wear ?

heres a pic anyway for reference...

looks alot worse in person

[4foot]

yeah unless the wheels were on backwards the camber shouldnt be the cause on the outside edge.. to me with a little background in tyres.. it looks to me that the inside scrubbed out due to camber and blew out or leaked out n went flat causing the scrubbing on the out side edge.. sorry i only saw the out side picture at first glance and just saw the other on from the inside now ..

Nope ! My car is still up on axle stands still awaiting the arrival of my rear hubs that were shipped last Thursday. And by axle stands I mean logs.

[funkytown]

hahahaha only you mr aspros. you could have asked to borrow a set..?

(can i inherit your car when your \'stands\' fail and csr squashs you??)

[Stoffa]

maybe you just dont appreciate the brilliance of a log....

What rolls downstairs?

Rolls down in Pairs?

Runs over you neibours dog.
