I believe south bend make clutches and have had a few of these knobs made for Torqen, but I thought it looked kinda cool and a bit different so gave one a go and it's great to be fair! I've also got the oem and the mophead mark special so can chop and change when i fancy it now but i'll be honest the shape of this new south bend one I love so.it won't be coming off for a bit!
Just a quick shout to Adrian and the team at Torqen. Ordered a new gearknob and bit of engine bling, arrived promptly and looks awesome. Great communication and advice, will be back again soon I'm certain!
So I've had one of the classic knobs on for a while now that came with the car when I bought it (looks like a Mopedmark classic) along with the standard one. Love the weight but I've always found it a bit of an odd shape to hold (just a personal opinion nothing wrong with it at all). So after a quick message to Torqen manage to bag one of these:
A quick comparison side by side:
And while I was at it, one if these for my slowly tidying engine bay:
Have to say after driving around today I prefer a bigger end to a narrow one (ooohhh yyyeeeaaahhhh)! Weight wise it feels fractionaly lighter but still better than the original stock and lovely to shift with!
Evening all,
I noticed a few weeks ago when slowly moving on full lock there's a clicking noise coming from the front of the car. I only do this manuver when reversing onto the drive so as its not done that oftern i thought I'd wait and get it checked by my local garage when I have some free time. This week however I've noticed it does it when doing any sharp turns at low speeds (for example a T junction turn). I did fit some spacers about 2 months back so im not sure if this will have somethibg to do with it (like need tightening or something) or if its the C.V joint / ball thing / banana peel or one of the other many things that click and knock according to the search option but if anyone else has experienced similar and can shed some light it would help!
I've tried a couple of others in the past (gtechnique, bilthamber, angelwax) and the usual turtlewax and demon shine (never again) but none seem to hold the clean look for as long in my opinion.
Guys if you want to delete the post by all means feel free I was only voicing my opinion lol! I've never waxed a car before because I've never known how to go about it and friend's who have "had a go" in the past on their own cars have made more of a mess than anything else. I've not tried many other brands because these guys workshop is a ten min drive from my house so its quick and easy for me to get to but if not seen anyone else using their products so thought I'd mention it.
People have their own favourites and opinions on what's best and who's filling who's bottles etc, so I thought I'd share my favorite cleaning products with you!
Usually spend 3-4 hours on the car once every 2 weeks and it looks fresh out of the factory every time. I've not ventured into waxing / clay baring etc yet as I really don't need to with the results I get from these products.
