JamieP Posted August 14, 2011 Author Share Posted August 14, 2011 Sorry Chris no idea on the tein spring rates, i had hoped i could get away with leaving them as they are as i didnt want to mess about changing coilovers each time i go drag racing. Is the HKS Drags ive bought something you could check over and repair if needed? they look fine and all rings move free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wilson Posted August 14, 2011 Share Posted August 14, 2011 I can have my pal stick them on his shock dyno, and see if they are working OK, and I can re gas them for you, probably about £100 all in plus return P&P. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wilson Posted August 14, 2011 Share Posted August 14, 2011 According to here: http://www.boostcruising.com/forums/lofiversion/index.php/t203461.html Tein Flex have all got the same spring rates, which sounds very off, but 6Kg/mm is 336 lbs/ins, a unit I prefer to work in, and which is not all that stiff...

Mine may have had it, they are about 7 years old and i could not get the adjusters to work yesterday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris if you look at JP's drag shocks could you make some fronts for me that act the same ???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just reading that Bjorck is in the 8's now, he did a 1.3 60ft on a set of KSport Drags, Ksport did a copy of the HKS drag a while back and MVP sell them.

JamieP Posted August 19, 2011 Author Share Posted August 19, 2011 Just been out, clutch is the same, let it warm up for 20min and the first time i put my foot down the clutch got stuck on the floor betwwen 3rd and 4th gear shift, also looks like my starter motor has had it, played up at suprapod, just took me half an hour of tapping and trying again to get her started, trip to SRD monday me thinks.

JamieP Posted August 19, 2011 Author Share Posted August 19, 2011 Just get a new or reconditioned starter, did a little video while i was out, just having a look now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamieP Posted August 19, 2011 Author Share Posted August 19, 2011 (edited) Im not sure it is the starter you know, might have a dodgy earth of something. I noticed my rev counter and stereo die for a split second every now and then, just looking at ths video and i noticed at about 11 seconds the rev counter dies again, going to have to give everything a good look over to find out whats happening. Im going to save the log and send it to Ryan to see if he can see a voltage drop or anything. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5JKw0TfVGow Edited August 19, 2011 by JamieP (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
