Escy

Just had a look, they are Excel-G shocks. They are standard replacements aren't they?

I had a better look at this today, when I turn the steering wheel, the front wheels do move straight away, there is no play in the rack. There must be some worn out ball joints or something.

My car has some brand new KYB shocks fitted (think these are standard spec items?) with some 30mm lowering springs fitted. I'm finding the ride to be uncomfortable, the car is very crashy over bumps and you loose fillings over potholes. Are most starlets like this?

The front shocks are new, so are the springs (lowering springs) You know in a rubbish american film, you see someone (pretending to be) driving in a straight line but they are turning the wheel left and right? It's like that, I can turn the wheel over an inch before it moves the driven wheels. Also a wheel bearing is whining. I think the MOT might be a bent one, thinking about giving vosa a call if it turns out the steering rack is shot.

My starlet runs 10psi, is that standard boost? It also seems to drop to about 6psi when in a high gear, flat out at high revs, is this normal? How much boost can you run before you hit the fuel cut and what sort of power is it good for?

I just got hold of an EP82 tonight. One thing i've noticed with it is that when driving in a straight line, you can move the steering wheel about 1" each way from the centre and it won't move the front wheels. The car went through an MOT today, but it could have been a bent one. Any ideas whats up? I was thinking maybe the steering rack is shot?
