I've seen it before, not to me. I passed a minivan with the front wheels trying to go their separate ways on a bridge a few years back...

But just by using logical thoughts, all known and myths aside, If you turn the wheel one way to compress air and produce power, then you shut down the throttle flap when the BOV is too small (or absent), the reversed pressure will slow down or stop the wheel. Then when you open the flap again, the wheel has the start spinning again from a very reduced rate, thus causing lag... And I always hear people complaining about lag. Without stating the obvious stress to the compressor wheel and bearings leading to aforementioned damage.

Paseo for mine, saved engine brakes and a few more bits from a wrecked one...

I have no power steering, air con or abs, So I removed all that wasn't lights fan or horn...

Plug and play HID... urgh get rid of that shit.. I pulled everything out when I cleaned up mine 2 years ago, and removed all that wasn't used. Here's before and after shots.

That caliper looks familiar...

There's always a risk of breaking the old glass when taking it off, a small chip you don't notice plus the tension and movement can crack it beyond repair. To be on the safe side I'd make that a new glass can be brought in fairly quickly if not in stock just to cover your ass. Other than that it's a fairly simple job to do, especially on an EP where there isn't any trims to remove to gain access like a lot of newer cars have. For someone handy, tools and supplies to do the job could probably be bought for under £40.

Heard the same thing happen because of cracked/shorting rotor arms... But it was on older brit cars. Still worth checking

Do you have a link? When I look around here I only get sets that go for hundreds and hundreds...

From professional experience, stay away from european built cars... Unless you have lots of money and time for it.

I'm in Oz, postage would kill me for a head. I just want a full set of decent mileage FTE springs...

Bump. Still after the springs And if any of you have blanking covers for the switches on the center console (where the hazard/demister switches are) I'd need 2...

^^^ This. I had one last only one year, and I was pushing it.

185/60 is the closest you can get to keep the speedo true. And that size is easy to find anywhere, you will find good price on them too.

Yes I am, although not very active. The wheel is a Momo replica from ebay, I love it, the feel is much better than the wooden wheel I had before... lol Less than a week delivery from Malaysia for the one I bought.
