  1. Hi guys just want to know where should i install the wilwood adjuster to fix the problem of the rear wheels locking up under hard braking? Do i put it on ther Rear line and wind it in? Or do i put it on the Front line and wind it in??
  2. Interested in rear hubs. Are these complete with bearings Please pm me more details, price, posting? and possibly pics too Thanks Jamie
  3. just a guess but when you changed your pads you pushed the pistons in and this pushed back the fluid into and over flowed the little reservoir? my mates a technician and said sometimes you can blow the old seals bleeding and pushing old pistons back in. get someone to press on the brake and look for leaks around the calipers. and round the slave cylinder. hope you find it.
  4. right guys im doing a little clean up and replacement of anything that is pooped under the front and rear arches. so far iv changed the drop links, track-rod ends and the rear trialling arms. O and dropped the diff oil out as its a foot in the air along with the gear box oil and all the other servicesy bits. when i was checking over the bushes i found that the front lower arm had a lot of space both sides of the bush (Pic) is this right??? also as i said in the title what diff oil would you recommend.
  5. Im just outside crawley
  6. Thanks all for the get wells. im doing ok and i even went out in the car on Saturday, 20min was my max but it was only to blow the cobwebs out. Ive had 4 MRIs last one being about 18months ago, and like you said they will not put me under the knife unless i lose the ability to sh*t or p*ss. My back pain was from like i said in my first post, my old love motocross. i raced motocross all through my school years with offs and some broken bones as what comes with the art of learning to fly on two wheels... it was the landings that finished me off most the time:blink: Anyway long short of it i was on a practice day at Sittingborne supercross track (no longer open:( )and i over jumped a plato and bottomed out on the flat and busted myself up. broke my lower back and my wist. Sounds bad but i was ok. I was up on my feet and walking around as soon as i got my breath. What i had done but wasn't aware of was id snapped the T part of the spine away from the vertebra. so my motocross boots were hug up in 2001. and from then on i have on and off sciatic nerve pain that makes my leg super weak and the pain 0 to 10.. a 9. so i have problems with the discs slipping back into the nerves. but they don't slip back again you just have to wait till the part that's slipped dissolves.

  8. Haha. Do I need to bring spermicidal lub and more than the £10 membership fee?
  9. thanks, my backs been bad on and of for years know. dam you motocross. Yeah i was really happy with the shoot apart from the filter they used. Made my car look a different red to what it is.
  10. ok buddy. and a small video...
  11. hello. I'm off work at the moment with a slipped disc in my lower back. So with what looks like a body builders belt on I'm very uncomfortable. Ive posted pics of my car up before. it hasn't changed much but i can put more up to date one if you like. I'm just happy i can post on the other parts of the forum now.
  12. oops sorry its in a nissan. but still looks sweeeeeeet!
  13. This must be crazy its in an AE86.[sHOCK][/sHOCK]

    Drifting?

    Dose anyone take there supra drifting? track that is;) i go as often as i can, but i'd love to see some 2jz power smoke out all the 200sx's:D when i go to pod i see some moster setups for drag but as most of you know their is a bit up the top where they do drift days think its been going for some time now. its a good day and you get to know so much more about how your car feels when drifting. little vid of me at lydd drifting my soarer.
  19. Thanks for the heads up on this. but i found this out with my old s14 and and burnt it almost in half:( so on the soarer i got these little black tabs that stick to the inside of the wing and ziptye the loom right up tight in the wing
  20. Hello i'd be up for this as i go to the vw meets at B/H think there once a month on Wednesday evenings and they keep the bar open:D
  21. i had it this low for all of about 3 hours before cracking the front bumper!
  22. i can see what your saying when you look at that pic but the ride is good on the road..not that hard. and when i go drifting on track days its spot on. most of the coils thread you see on that pic is wound out from the bottom part close to the hub just so i can get on my drive:( i'v slammed it to the ground before but i cracked the front bumper that same day and lifted it back up. i got a pic somewhere il put it up if i can find it. Anyway. Thanks for the comments and the uk brakes are my next must have... Think ther look the nuts with supra on the caliper:D like the VW seen with porsche brakes Sorry about the bad editing at the start of this thread i was starting to go on about how i ended up with a soarer and not a supra then the pc crashed and only posted the start:( so i did a quick rewrite and just got to the point. on topic I know bits can be changed on my car to supra bits thanks to other soarer owners and you guys, but its the under the bonnet bits that i want to know more about like where do you guys get bits from like chrome pipe work? is that in house? or over the shelf stuff?
