  1. You checked, wheels balancing, arent buckled, bearings are all good, ball joints trackrods steering rack for play? The driveshaft shouldnt be bent/ damaged unless your running mega power or hit something hard! Just change the CV joints theres nothing much that can go wrong with a driveshaft tbf!
  2. You snapped the shaft or something? Can you not replace the joints? Bugger forking out £1k on driveshafts you could have custom ones cheaper than that!
  3. Haha no prizes for guessing then, mine went to the colour scheme of my car aswel
  4. Looks like us black sr owners have good taste ;)
  5. Yea i think its got to be over 15% on 7 clicks or below, basically enough to hold it on a slight incline so not much really!
  6. Also pedal box and clutch master cylinder. Lines down to slave cylinder, Flywheel and clutch and the flywheel to crank bolts as they are shorter on auto's . You can use your auto ecu. You will need to jump the parking switch tho as autos need to be in park to start! Im using an auto ecu on my 4age swap and this is all i did. I've been running it 18months and its never missed a beat!
  7. Yes best handling mod I've done, and mines only a stock levin lsd. Literally pulls you around corners at speeds you thought were far beyond the point of understeer! I had a friend nearly loose it in an evo 6 behind me
  8. Mine munched through my braided set mate so if you've got 30secs have a quick look and see if theres any damage, if there is then thats most likely your problem! Altho u say you've moved them so it might just be the bracket catching.
  9. when i went end of august, it cost me about £450 some things were shared tho, E= euros ferry there euro back £65 (shared between 2) fuel based on an ep3 averaging 30-35mpg tops, just over 1000 miles, total cost £250 but split 3 ways laps around the ring are about E25 each hotel 4 nights B and B E180 food and drink all eating out is, for very good food E15-20 for a steak and a couple of beers, pizza is cheaper! we had a bbq one night for 10 of us, chipped in E5 each and had waaaay more food than we could eat! a 5L keg is £10 and they have a very good recycling service, you buy crates of bottled beer (20 pints i think for E12-15) then when you finish them u take the whole lot back and get about E3-4 off your next purchase so total based on 2 sharing its about £450-500 for 4 nights B and B with track time, ferry, fuel, food, drink etc! so if you were to camp out then you could save a good £90 id say, imo its a cheaper holiday than going on a clubbing holiday
  10. check to see if the bracket that holds the brake line on the shock isn't catching the bracket on the car where it goes from hard pipe to the flexi, you may need to get some one to go from lock to lock whilst you lay under the car and look. oh and dont jack it up you need the weight of the car on the coilovers ( i had this problem on my BC's, not sure if meisters do aswel)
  11. i got the headlight of the civic
  12. clean your wheels i got a random shot of this down at pod parked up the week of japshow just being slack with the upload lol
  13. i would try this method below, he sounds like he knows what he's on about. i haven't tried doing mine this way but its got to be worth ago!!
  14. seen the video of the bloke that did it back in 1960? he's held all the records that this guys attempting to better for the last 52 years [media]http://youtu.be/xE71aKXjss0 its about an 18 mile free fall!!
  15. The rear calipers wind in, they have two notches cut into the piston to allow a proper tool to locate into it but you can use the shaft of a screwdriver to do it instead. But it would be far easier to find/borrow/buy the tool to do it ;) And yes the caliper and pads need taking off the car, but leave the pipe connected!
  16. Very nice mate, id like to see this thing in action! I stayed at the same place At the ring aswel
  17. Nice mate, what front bumper is this? I dont recognise it :s
  18. It cost me n my mate in his ep3 about £250 in fuel which we shared, that was for us from norfolk just over 1000 mile trip which isnt too bad obviously if you plan on exploring europe you're guna do more miles but generally its not too bad!
  19. A friend found this in a skyline when he was working at a import garage. />https://fbcdn-photos-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-ash3/163408_10150372710910285_4739384_n.jpg?dl=1 Sorry i cant do a proper img link im having an iFail!
  20. Rear brakes are shocking, I've refurbed my rear calipers and they're still terrible. Think my rears were 16% efficeint last MOT and they need to over 15% :/
  21. What about if you remove the pipe from the slave cyl and try pumping it?
  22. Is the bleed nipple clogged up? Have you removed it and see if it comes through without it on there?
  23. Out till 430 woke up still lean n got pestered to drive to a greasey cafe for a fry up lol
  24. Very true some good roads in Europe if you know where to look!
  25. I dont think you go on any autobahns on the way to the ring tbh, but ill be going next summer anyway
