Thankyou chrisgixer
« on: 23 October 2011, 18:09:20 »
As many will know, the issue with TBE has grinding on me, and I'd run out of ideas on how to fix it.

Gayboy took it for a spin today, immediately said something was loose.

Jacked it up, fairly quickly found some loose-ish wishbone bolts - all 4 weren't up to the torque setting, but the OS rear one had come quite loose.

Took it out again, that particular problem solved :y

Your welcome chaps.  :y

TB...
Glad we got TB(C)E sorted, and that it was an easy inexpensive fix. Suspect that wim set up during loose wishbone bolts made the car pull the other way, while in that state. Explains what was confusing us.

...although sadly I suppose set up again would be wise. With more extreme set ups IMO, it's important to be fussy and make sure the cars balanced. We can make progress now.  :)

Thanks for mixer fiddling, seems ok so far  :y

Tunster...
That car is worth persuing as you say. There will be some expense to start with but see what you've got, and go from there. Lambda to order. :y
Oh... And Thankyou for the curry and beer. Although that Bill was a bit unfair on you. We'll get the next one, and you won't have to drive. Which will help me, I was bollixed by the end. And hopefully not to "argumentative" as I was refered to by SWMBO.  ;D they really don't get this winde up business do they.  ;)

Was hoping that further setups could wait until I can, all in one hit, get wheels refurbed, new tyres, and setup.  So was hoping to wait until the tyres are shot.

I'll see how it goes this week (I've relented, she's using the Bullet this week now), and play it by ear.


Although, I doubt the tyres on there currently will last long.



Thanks again :y

Tunnie, mrs chrisgixer here - meant to say thanks so much for the curry and the lift. Was conscious you were getting a bit of stick up your end of the table. Never mind next time you can join us in the pink section that The Boy is setting up for me!!!

Thanks MrsG  :y

They were bullying me  :'(

Your all welcome for the curry, could not have got the 3.2 to the stage it is without all of your help.  :y

I've had curries before on TB, so it was my turn to get one  :)

You ok next Saturday for Wishbones? I'm going to order standard springs too, but I can fit those.
