Guigsy Posted May 15, 2013 Share Posted May 15, 2013 (edited) So far today Work at 7am, half day, left at 10:30 Got tax for car. Picked up blue supra from home and drove to AME in silverstone. Both for a test drive as it hadn't moved much in the last year and to get a cage for my headunit out of my other car that is with AME. Noticed wheel wobble between 6-80mph. Hum Removed headunit and its cage, also removed the bits and bobs like fire extinguisher and hi vis vests etc. Had a chat with dan regards my turbo which he suspected of some grumbling bairings. I took it over to turbo technics in Northampton who confirmed all was ok, and for a dry turbo with no oil it seemed fine. Back to silverstone. Dropped off turbo. Back to Northampton. Now sat in the tyre place having the ballencing checked on my front wheels. One was way out. Looks like when it was made the stud holes were not quite machined in the correct place. So throwing it out. How I never noticed this I don't know but they balanced it ok. The other front wheel is missing a spigot ring somehow. No idea where that's gone! Or how long its been missing. Only option with that is to see how it goes. Called in and picked up breathalysers and a bulb kit.

JamieP Posted May 15, 2013 Share Posted May 15, 2013 Take a spigot ring of a back wheel maybe if it still vibrates. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DodgyRog Posted May 15, 2013 Share Posted May 15, 2013 I have tried to do a few bits on the Supra today, but given in to the shite weather Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guigsy Posted May 15, 2013 Share Posted May 15, 2013 I have a couple of spare rear wheels in the garage but don't think they have spigots with them. Ill check. But it seems fine now. But as its raining I don't want to do too many 100 lepton pulls Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
