    Bearing Measurements

    Measure first THEN buy bearings ;) (PPPPPP aka Proper Planning Prevents Piss Poor Performance)

    Drove her off of the lot straight into BHGD... I think I just got bent over.

    A buddy here got 8Km's (8 kilometres/5 miles) with his 18000 original mile Ma70 before it let go! Had to go rescue him with a trailer....

    Huge oil leak

    Need to figure out why it's leaking, as you pull it all apart can you take some flash macro pics as you go? Only thing I can think of at the moment is the spring escaped somehow as you installed the seal.

    NO Torque Plate and Boring the block ???s

    Done it in the past when one wasn't available, longer time for the rings to get an initial seal was about the only difference I noted, keep it in mind the factory don't use one and people make good HP on stock unopened engines the 2J's in particular.

    Re-Threading

    Just means they're going to pull out sooner after a few heat cycles than they would have if torqued to 30ft/lbs....

    Turbo Carnage! / Upgrade Discussion

    That's why I'd like to see the internals they will usually provide a clue why they're dying, no way known would I be throwing another Turbo at it at this point though, 1 shit happens, 2 something is suspect, 3 STOP you're doing it wrong ;) Did you do a return volume check? (Idle with the...

    Rear Strut Bar - Question

    No probs :) Notice a total lack of front placebo bar?? Double a arm isn't trying to cope with turning loads like a McWobbly Strut front end so they're just not needed, the common bars have a pivot right at the force vector turning them into a big ass hinge so utterly useless. We covered...

    ok i have to post so here is my introduction

    I don't drag either so not offended in the slightest, but that does make you sound like a bit of a cockhead so expect some flack from the drag racers here.

    Rear Strut Bar - Question

    Do a search on the Group A race cars if you want to see braces that actually work ;) (I don't run any as I don't believe extra chassis stiffness is needed on road tires) More pics here.

    Bearing Measurements

    You need to measure everything then use the chart and see if there are bearings that will close the gaps down to spec.

    need tips on removing the window motor

    Yes you are missing something, assembly should be the reverse of removal so the nuts on the glass go on last so you can wiggle the glass into place.

    Rear Strut Bar - Question

    Double A Arm car, plot the force vectors then tell me how a normal strut bar does anything and I'll be convinced. The braces back to the firewall are bolted into the .9mm sheetmetal and again are just pivots so nope can't see them adding any measurable stiffness to the structure.

    old lady vs deer.

    Fast and scarey :aigo: Wasn't till I had sway bars made that it improved, Koni's, springs wheels and tires didn't help all that much without the bars.

    old lady vs deer.

    Mine scared the crap out of me when I first got it as I'd come from a 700Kg 77Arrow that handled like it was on rails to this big fat wallowing bucket :)
