haha no i didnt really mean it, its just sorely testing my patience is all. nothing is ever straight forward. the FTE has had no teething issues at all really, it seems to be the auxially parts have decided to shit themselves. a permanent suspension solution would be the Meister Rs from Geo, they seem to be good gear and i know nothing about suspension really. @Damo - thanks for the offer kind sir, i will bear that in mind dude! thank u very very much! wednesday wont see anything fixed unless there is something loose under there, but it should provide some defintie answers, which other than

i bloody hope so Dan mate! i really hope it aint CV or driveshaft. The suspension is still compressing, mark bounced up and down on the sill, so its safe enough to take to work tomorrow and tuesday, just real handy. and then wednesday it goes to see my mechanic to make certain that the knockin is the spring and nothing else, and to have the clutch tested. pissed right off, i had budgeted (ish lol) for skiin and insurance, or at least knew they were approaching, but new suspension has knocked me for six a bit, that was not part of the game plan at all! Phil.

there's a knock when u brake pulling the car forward or back, and I can make it do it by making a full right hand lock - i could be the broken spring, but i dunno. phoned Geo there as really there aren't that many suspension options for a fair price, looks like if i have to go new, it will be the Meister R boyos, but i aint got the readies for that right now. car's goin to mechanic's on wednesday, til then i'm goin to have to take it REAL easy! Phil.

well i have jacked her up...to find a broken coil, passenger front. fuckin PRICK! however, i phoned my mechanic, a broken spring wouldnt cause something to spin when u put your foot down....could it be the clutch?? TRD pressure plate and Exedy other bit (excuse my ignorance of technical terms)...the fucker shouldnt be slipping at like 0.5bar. so this leaves me still with the issue of a clunking sound from the front end and something spinning when under power. clunking could be driveshaft, CV, or tie bar somewhere. and according to my mechanic, something spinning and the car not going anywher

Thanks to Santa and Nath, i have received a whiteline antilift kit and also a Sard magnetic sump plug (Nath = WINNER). there seems to be an issue with the driveshafts or the CVs tho, gettin loud clunking noises and somethings spinning under power but it aint the wheels...wanker. Phil.

thats awesome dude! great work! Phil.

nutnut we need one of her from the front mate! Phil.
