Apparently so Keith
-
I did think this Mark, but the tool they give is too small. You saying I could just use another hex tool and turn it the same as you do with the rears?
-
Probably being really thick here, but needing some help with adjusting my HKS coilovers Rears are easy, remove the rubber cap on top and use the tool provided to spin right for stuffer and left for softer I thought the front would use the same tool, but apparently not... Hex design tool: Top mount on the fronts seem to have a triangle where I thought the tool would go?: Instructions are all in Japanese, pictures really don't help either.... HELP PLEASE!

That's what I read as well Mark, hence why I went with the 0.1 on the standard setting See how I get on at Dunsfold on Tuesday

Keith, that was my that blasted past you earlier! Stopped to see who was there, saw the car but couldn't see you and needed to dash home. Sorry I couldn't stop!!! Will be back around 4 after getting the car ready for tonight -
So was up early this morning to get the alignment and tracking done. Woke up to this! Bit of toe in me thinks! Seems we weren't as accurate as we thought yesterday...so the drive to get the alignment done was fun! Jumping all over the place Up on the ramps to get some Federal 595's fitted to my track wheels And then onto the Hawkeye system to get the alignment done I went for -2degrees camber on the front and -2degrees on the rear with toe at 0 degrees front and back. Front end probably needs to go a little lower so depending on how we got on at Dunsfold on Tuesday, I'll be back to tweak before Snetterton on Saturday Before and after And the finished article Still getting used to it, but such a difference over stock. Cornering is flat, braking is sharper due to less diving at the front, everything is tighter but still perfectly comfortable

Cheers Lauren, think I'll take a look at Fensports fast road settings and see how I get on with that

I'm aiming for 2pm Sarah -
Ye I get that different settings will depend on your driving style, but just to get setup for now, what would people recommend?

I'll be there after getting my alignment done in the morning -
Let's throw this into the battle for TSS Today was a good day, HKS coilovers, Summit rear camber arms, Summit rear toe arms and Work CR Kai alloys went on. Just my track wheels for now in preparation for Dunsfold (Top Gear Test Track) on Tuesday and TSS at Snetterton on Saturday next week Started off with getting her up in the air and all 4 wheels off And a quick snap of the shiney bits going on Old suspension struts and camber arms next to the new ones And after a few hours with only 1 bolt giving me any trouble, we had the rear struts, camber and toe arms in Front took us literally 20mins each side, so quick that I forgot to get any pictures! So the track wheels went on, getting new rubber fitted to these tomorrow morning With some shiney new wheel nuts And a quickie of the new rear setup End result Looks so much better, haven't been out for a drive yet but will report back after my trip to get alignment and new tyres on tomorrow morning

Was it something I said Keith? I rock up, and then you shoot off! -
Adjustable camber and toe arms turned up today, ready for fitting with the coilovers at the weekend
-
Lauren, Look in my progress thread, I posted a link to the dash removal post on the ft86 forum Fairly straight forward. Had my panel with the start button out on Monday
-
Not the fuel pump. Well aware of that issue Sounds like a loose pulley but can't see or feel anything
-
Noticed this on the way to work this morning, that something from the engine is "squeaking" and is most noticeable at around 3k rpm (haven't really gone above this tbh) and get's a bit louder when you let off the gas Had a look under the bonnet and can't see anything obvious, checked the belt for the Sprintex and all the pulleys are tight and running straight and true Only seems to happen when the car is cold/warming up. Once up to temperature and been running for 20mins+ it goes away I think Any ideas? Appreciate that "squeak from the engine" is a bit vague...
-
Liking the badges Ian!
-
It genuinely sounds like a hamster wheel! Really fucking me off
-
Decided to strip out the interior to shed some vital weight OK...maybe nothing major that will make any difference. But at least the bits will all come back looking pretty

We can cover mods on a like for like basis :)
