I've replaced the radiator a few months ago because the old one cracked.

They appear to be fine.

For about every 50km (urban), I have to put in about 1L of water into the resivour.

Any thoughts as to what is going on?

Some times when I goto start the car it doesn't even crank the starter. When it does this, I can always start it by undoing the starter plug on the starter and attaching my home made 8gauge cable and then directly starting it off the battery. Whats the best way for me to trace it all the way back. L...

Tested while the car was cranking.

Help. My car cranks but it is getting no fuel. I've checked the fuel pump connector and in the manual it says #1 should have 10v or more and mine has 0, #2 has about 11v and #3 has about 4v. I've replaced the fuel pump and it is working, I have tested it on the bench wired into the fuel hanger and w...

Hi

Just been trying to adjust my headlights on low beam. I can adjust them up and down. But when I try the other screw, no matter how many times i turn it, it never seems to move it left or right.

Any ideas?

Any tips to get the clutch hose off the 10mm nut holding it to the steel line?

I'm close to rounding it, was thinking I might try some vice grips on it and a 17mm spanner on the clutch hose.

I have soaked it in a bit of CRC 556

Any tips would be much appreciated.

What way do you guys find the easiest to get the rear struts in?

I usually find taking out the 19mm bolt that holds the two control arms to the knuckle the easiest. Just takes a little longer.

You poor yanks

Any tips to align the facelift spring perch on the spring/strut so that it goes in the rear properly?

Normally they have marks on the perch which I would line up the sttrut knuckle side with the | | marks.

On this one set of perches I have, it has no damn markings.

I just fitted my obx ones, they seem ok...

I got a bargin on some PU bushes yesterday for the control arms and the trailing arms.

Will report on them once the're in.

So PU only for serious cars then.

has anyone tried obx camber bolts? they seem dirt cheap and if they allow me to dial in -1deg camber in the rear after fitting v7 sti struts, that would be awesome.

Good come back

I might look into the STi bushings then.

Other than 'sucks' as a reason, does anyone else have a view on poly bushes in the control arms?

Josh? you out there.

And?

My crusie is working.

I don't have anything hooked up to my clutch.

Where exactly?

does anyone have the sti part # for these items? or recommend a good replacement for blown out oem rubber bushes.

cheers

Do they fit our cars as a cheap upgrade for mounts?

Hmm, from whiteline.

02-03 is 130mm ID top and bottom

facelift BC/BF is 141mm bottom 125mm top.

Can the BC/BF/GC/GF top hat accomodate the 5mm difference?

Exactly. Too ghetto for me I think.

Just picked up some camber bolts for the rear once the struts are in.
