« on: 13 August 2012, 07:24:06 »Spacer maybe but i'v e already loweed it 30 and don't want to go any further to be honest as they are 18" wheels on 40 profiles so are already quite a hard ride (comparitively)! would love to put your motor in it though!
Nice! But u need a 30mm spacer in the rear and lowering kit !

Omega General Help / exhaust manifold
« on: 12 August 2012, 09:01:27 »
Hi all, i finally got around to taking my heat shield off to see where the leak is on my manifold and as suspected I didn't have to look long or hard for the crack that is on the top side of it, I have been offered one for €50 second hand is that a good price? does anyone know what a new one would cost and is it better to buy a new one or will second hand be alright, any advice on removal would be great, i've soaked all the bolt heads with crc MO2 so hopefully will make removal easier, I am scared of snapping bolts though is this an issue as two of the heat shield bolts broke straight away! many thanks,
Rich.

I decided at 40 i would give up and had it set in my mind six months before hans, so on my Birthday that was it and i've been clean 7 months now and i'd never go back the thought of putting one in my mouth now is disgusting!! keep at it i was smoking 30 a day and didn't think i could do it but it is doable!.

yes 4 years and the guy didn't blink an eye so I am geussing it's not all that well enforced, the asian tyres I was looking at are Nankang ns-2 i've looked at reviews and they don't look great i will have to bite the bullet and get Dunlops i think.

have the same problem, mine is tyres but shocks will also have this affect too when worn or when the wrong ones are fitted (don't ask me how i know!) not a great feeling to have when driving, i would definately get it up in the air and check joints including rear donuts.

O.K i went off to the equivelant of a fast fit over here and found a guy who is actually a little knowledgeable, he checked for movement in my idler, bushes e.t.c and found nought he then pumped my tyres up to 37 psi and said if that doesn't help come back for new tyres, he says it's the tread pattern is too loose on the tyre in other words the rubber has softened which gives sidewards movement being able to follow the pattern of the road, the tyres are 6 years old and near their end anyway. So the test drive they were better but not perfect so i'm on the hunt, i found some 18" spotstars over here for €250 which i would like to put on but tyres would be expensive unless i went for cheap asian stuff, has anyone had any experience with asian tyres and if so good or bad,
many thanks,
Rich.

that's interesting stuff Zippy,thanks, i will check the tyre dates over here it's law they can't be over 4 years old and i am thinking they are as i've had the car 2 years and the PO did not go far in it i will check out the idler as well that's a good place to start, taa.

« on: 08 June 2012, 08:40:09 »are the tyers on the right way round, when had new tryers fitted they have a mark on them to say what way they are to be fitted?
yes on the right way but as far as i could see premacies are not directional?

thanks for the replies, my tyres are just about down to the markers so i geuss this is the problem, Chris i didn't get the tracking/camber done after the pollies were fitted but saying that the winter tyres seem o.k so i geuss the tracking e.t.c is o.k, i really don't want to pay out to have that done again, anyone got some good suggestion on tyres or should i go for michelin premacy again, although now would be the time to find some 17"s i geuss, does anyone know what the rumbling would be on back off would this be the drive shaft or is it the diff bearing? many thanks for the quick responses,
Rich.
