for the cabbie. the weekend's ragging about and santa pod killed the one that on it. need's to be a good bearing.

**Neal** · 15th October 2007, 10:33 PM

engines still going strong then

did you tke it up the strip?

Peter T · 15th October 2007, 10:51 PM

Yep I did. did a 17 sec pass. there 16's in it, but my main goal was to 1/4 the meg, and just give the 19 a few steady run's. Not to bad a time, saying it was standard,i.e nothing taken out, rubbish and all, and it had my BMX bike in the back. which also got blasted around pod, but not the strip. The meg did a 15.6 before you ask, and yep engine still going well. Still not go used to the lack of torque tho below 4.5K.

Just need to sort this front end out, then see about getting it m.o.t'd before end of next month, then i'll got ot take it off the road, because I'll be banned for a year anyhow ( howevere that for adiffent post )

If it doesn't need to be ABS I've got one Pete. May need a stud drilled out but the bearing should be good.

If you're coming round sometime soon you can take a look and if you want it I'll swap you it for the parcel shelf?

Peter T · 18th October 2007, 09:30 PM

Sorted then. I'll be down this weekend.

yeah that front end of your cabby defo wants sorting Pete, the time i drove it i think i commented on it at the time to you.
Check those stupid rubbers that go under the rack mounting clamps to the subframe, when those are knackered they can cause that problem, you might as well change the wishbones and balljoints as well, £30 odd from buypartsby incl delivery for wishbones complete with balljoints, Mine arrived today

**The T.I.B.** · 18th October 2007, 11:40 PM

Do you remember how much the rack to subframe rubbers cost and whether they are worth replacing as a matter of course? Thanks

**Wicked Neo** · 18th October 2007, 11:51 PM

Neal would be the best one to answer that question as he recently did them on his chamade, my new steering rack came complete with new clamps, rubber bushes and bolts

**Neal** · 19th October 2007, 12:46 AM

only one of the bushes braces the rack lateraly and its about 6 quid. WELL worth replacing tbh. The other one doesn't do any positioning, and its about 14 quid last time I looked so just get the 6 quid one.

**The T.I.B.** · 19th October 2007, 07:59 AM

the 6 quid one fixed your hatch i take it?
another thing to add to the list, sigh

**Neal** · 19th October 2007, 01:22 PM

fixed my chammy, yes.

Replaced it on the hatch as well of course. Left the £14 one as it wasnt worth doing it.

talking of buypartsby, my discs and pads arrived yesterday, but the pads have no slots in them (as there is in the haynes manual)
