RE: Ell Diablo - cwspellowe - 19-06-2013 Track rod ends? ...if so, I hope you're drilling the hubs or getting conical spacers made? RE: Ell Diablo - Grant - 19-06-2013 Droplinks. Why would I be needing conical spacers if they were track rod ends? RE: Ell Diablo - cwspellowe - 19-06-2013 Because the fitting on the hub is tapered, look at the shape of a track rod end where it goes through the hub. So you'd either need to drill the hubs out to a bigger size to accept a bolt all the way through, or get a conical spacer to fit the hub as it is. You'd also need to try and find a rose joint with a longer threaded part to meet the track rod, or get a female threaded joint with some threaded bar and a couple of locknuts. RE: Ell Diablo - Grant - 19-06-2013 I've got ya. Yeah they are M12, so when i do inevitably rose joint my TRE's ill bear that in mind, cheers Should be able to just drill them out fine. RE: Ell Diablo - cwspellowe - 19-06-2013 It's the reason I never did a group buy on TRE's. I just don't think people would be willing to drill their hubs to fit them, and I couldn't get spacers machined cheap enough.. RE: Ell Diablo - Grant - 19-06-2013 Well it is a female threaded joint, and i have bar and locknuts so all sorted there. With regards to drilling the hole I cannot see it being a problem, use a pillar drill to be safe and bobs your uncle. No big issue RE: Ell Diablo - cwspellowe - 19-06-2013 (19-06-2013, 11:36 AM)Grant Wrote: Well it is a female threaded joint, and i have bar and locknuts so all sorted there.

No big issue Mmhmm, no issues, but could you see 10+ people wanting to drill their hubs? RE: Ell Diablo - Grant - 19-06-2013 If they're not all a big bunch of pussies then yeah RE: Ell Diablo - cwspellowe - 19-06-2013 Personally, i'd be up for it. I wouldn't even use a pillar drill, i'd just get one of those Lidl drills Puggy loves and a couple of cheap drill bits. RE: Ell Diablo - Grant - 19-06-2013 You are forgetting the Aldi socket set. No work will commence without quality made German tools! Well when i get round to ordering my TRE's ill drop you a line and save on postage. Ill bring them to FCS if you are interested?

On my wages? nah, i meant I have no issues drilling stuff. Once upon a time I would have taken them off your hands but they're an unnecessary luxury I can't afford at the moment RE: Ell Diablo - Grant - 04-07-2013 So a little update. Funds are a little tight on this at the moment so rather than spending lots of money on new shineys, I've been preparing the ones I do have for fitting: Lower brace all repainted ready for fitting Rose Jointed drop links Got a couple of the gays coming over this weekend, going to do the clutch and cam belt. Got to fit the solid lower engine mount, and nissens radiator. RE: Ell Diablo - puglove - 05-07-2013 mmm shineys arr you actuallt driving this now? RE: Ell Diablo - Dum-Dum - 05-07-2013 Defo mmm shinys RE: Ell Diablo - Grant - 05-07-2013 Yeah, been driving it since January lol. Not that it's too pleasurable, lots of knocks and bangs irritating me RE: Ell Diablo - puglove - 05-07-2013 (05-07-2013, 05:27 PM)Grant Wrote: Yeah, been driving it since January lol.

RE: Ell Diablo - Grant - 08-07-2013 So a rather productive, if not odd weekend. Had a few of the guys over to lend a hand/for general BBQ related activities. Not many pictures taken as was too busy working on the car/eating bbqs/ general shenanigans. Rose jointed droplinks made up. Just need rubber boots for them before fitting Engine half apart, clutch being changed... Two gays having a. Footbath?! Also got the billet aluminium lower engine mount fitted. It is nowhere near as 'vibratey' as I was expecting. It has really sharpened up the throttle response, and the only time you really notice its harshness is hen cranking the engine to start. Quite pleased to be honest. Also relocated the washer bottle to the boot. Becauseracecar Thanks to everyone who lent a hand, and to those who came for the pure lols. Was an epic weekend.

Well you learn something every day! RE: Ell Diablo - Poodle - 09-07-2013 Pmsl grant, amazing! Niall you were dripping the moment I took my top off, you blatantly knocked my glass as I walked past to cover the inevitable climax as I got too close for you to bear. RE: Ell Diablo - Grant - 09-07-2013 ^^In fairness that does sound like a more likely scenario! RE: Ell Diablo - Niall - 09-07-2013 I asked you not to tell people! RE: Ell Diablo - Dum-Dum - 09-07-2013 Grunt your car needs a GTi6 inlet manifold! I has one for sale ready to go on an XSi, I do you special price RE: Ell Diablo - Matt - 09-07-2013 finished yet? RE: Ell Diablo - Poodle - 09-07-2013 You think i need to tell people? It's not as if you're subtle about it, you were staring at my chest for nearly ten minutes straight at one point. RE: Ell Diablo - Grant - 09-07-2013 I've already tried a '6 manifold on this Chris. It didnt like it, despite me swapping all the sensors from the original manifold and vice-versa. This coupled with the fact it goes fine on another car, makes me think the management cant handle one RE: Ell Diablo - Niall - 09-07-2013 (09-07-2013, 09:43 PM)Grant Wrote: I've already tried a '6 manifold on this Chris.

There are a few xsis out there happily running this manifold and considering Dan had to clean old gasket off that manifold.... RE: Ell Diablo - Dum-Dum - 09-07-2013 Ive got a known working ECU that you can have for a cuppa at ace if or free if you buy the manifold off me RE: Ell Diablo - Grant - 09-07-2013 A known ECU for a '6 inlet manifold? WHY do you tell me this after I sell my manifold?! |
