S1an1de

its now bristol street motors... and just over a ton for a p1, a p3 is 220ish if memory serves

i'm off to Denmark in mine next week.... thats France, Belgium, Netherlands, Germany, Denmark all sorted then.

Theres a few of us going from the UK so set up a google+ thing so we can track each other for the full "Top Gear Race" thing.... should be a hoot

i like to call my colour E.L James...

Must be a nightmare choosing an owners club to join!

arguably he could join most of the Jap ones ..

actually i quite like it ... with a bit of work, some polish and a few tweaks it could be stunning .

oh wait a sec

i've been sniffing glue...

on the boot lid, either side are 2 rubber coated spring stoppers ... give these half a turn to pop them out... spray some silicone in the lil hole at the top...replace and enjoy the silence..

that was me on my way to Denmark

oooooh free stuff ...clicky clicky

.....i'm going.....

With the VXR owners club ....

nice meeting up with you all earlier...

Overtaking the guy in the Caterham was frankly epic.... how narked would he of been

Luch was jolly nice..

the Juke is Marmite and i've decided i wouldnt have one

...and...

Got mine back from Harrats...no prooblems with the rear wheels at all [other than a seriously used tyre]..passed MOT... £97 all in including fixing the hazards, wheel spacer, and checking the rear ....cheapest MOT i've had in years

Ok heres the story...

I'm getting a "squeal" from the rear passenger side under heavy acceleration and what appears to be a pronounced "judder" from the same wheel under hard braking at speed.

I've already changed the Pads, bedded them in, greased shims etc but am now at the end of my mechanical knowledge to be able to diagnose the problem. I don't want to fork out for new parts until i'm fairly confident what the problem is.

Is there anyone in the Sheffield area [specifically near Meadow Hall] thats a bit mechanically minded that wouldnt mind a quick PAX ride out and diagnose later today [sunday]?

Ta in advance

no problem guys.

cheers .. wheels off on saturday then

Ok so i'm firing this around to pick brains before i ineptly dismantle the rear wheels on the z.

Symptoms..

1) Braking from anything over 45Mph and there is a noticible "juddering" from what appears to be the rear passenger side of the car.

2) The juddering is not coming through the steering.

3) Handling doesnt appear to be affected at all [but i drive like grandma anyways]

4) Under hard acceleration from 30Mph there is a small metalic Squeal that can be heard in the cabin.

thoughts...

wheel hub or knackered brake disk?

^{nice pics.. looks like fun.}

^{was a little dissappointed with the thread title though ... was expecting something a little "fruitier", i may be spending too much time smurfing the web ...}

i'm in... off that day

actually ...looking at that photo again the drivers side side skirt looks to be a cracking fit

pics.....more pics....

count me in ...

i'll get the coffee's this time

What depth would you back out of, are you braver than 12 inches?

My surname is Ford and I would strongly advise not driving through me. Thank you.

C'mon now... this is too easy

sign me up please.

PM payment detaily stuff ta ,,,

This is why I get my Waitrose shopping delivered

oooh waitrose ...somebody's posh

Even with the gloss coats it still looks very satin to me.

 

What colour you going for BBK?

 

Gloss white pillars, wing mirrors, doors, roof and boot. All in aid of my trip to Le Mans. My mate in his EVO VII is gonna do his car as an interceptor.

 

Aiming for this to be exact...

 

How about "Polite"..

I used to know someone who rode a white pan-european with a hi-vis top on, white helmet and this stamped across the front ... used to get through traffic quite quick

first sevice station north off the end of the M18 i think ... the one going up the bigass hill northbound
