  1. Hi there guys

    seen a set of black rota GT3 alloys getting them at a really good price so they can be used on my other GT

    question is - these wheels are mint BUT a few bits around the edges of the polished lip have alight corossion like the laquer has peeled off & slightly corodded on the edges

    iF i was to buy these how could i bring the to standard finish ? what will need to be done ??

    cheers!

  2. Sand them down with about 6 different grades of paper until you get to a really fine one, sand it untill its really really smooth then hit it with autosol, done my mates grids not long ago, alot of hard work and bloody fingers but the finish is worth it, and if your doing one wheel do them all :)

    cheers mate

    i will be trying to see if some place around here can do them for me as i wouldnt want to touch them my self lol

    anyone else have any more info ?

    wheels are black rota gt3's with a polished lip

  4. Hi guys



    wasout tonight in my mates car we've drove itlike 300+ miles running the head gasket & clutch in



    was out in the car today & we heard like a whistle noise so pulled over immeditaely to find out the new adjustanble cam gear had come loose so we tightened it up started the car only to find out its warped the cam gear by heat ??



    cam gear & all the pulleys were brought from CJ perfomance like 2 years ago but only just recently fitted them to the car & are 300 miles old only so why would this happen ? i personally told him i think they might be a cheap chinese make thats why the issue ??




    what to do now ?



    buy a quality sSTRONGER cam gear from anyone who sells them on here ??



    OR just put a standard one back on??



    has anyone have a standard cam gear on here ??



    cheers!

    recently i changed my gearbox oil on mates car & his box is soo loudon full locks its so unbelievably loud/clunks like somethings about to break but as soon as u turn either side full lock with clutch down thres no noise at all



    CUSCO LSD previous owner used LS90 semi synthetic gear oil, where would i get this from?? or do i use the one on the link above reli need help ASAP as i have used some cheap oil called ''Granville LS 80/90'' atmo.. my diff was fine before changing the oil



    cheers


  6. & defo cant be steering rack because we managed to pull the passenger driveshaft out of the cv joint but this was due to mo circlip on the splines but we have fittef this now n its fine no play at all & we checked this whilst wheels wre on full lock on the ramp

    & driverside shaft is nice n tight no play at all

  7. Yes this has been posted twice & the drive shaft had so much play tht we managed to pull it out of the cv joint on passenger side this was maybe due to my mate not fitting the circlip which wr have now fitted but the noise is still there

    Hes only changed the drivers cv joint but passenger cv joint is actually a year old

    & i dont think its steering rack because the car was fine before parked up over the winter

    & it's defo not the LSD noise because this is more of a clicking noise now might have to order a new cv joint on passenger side too even tho its only a year old :-/

    Been stuck with this problem now for weeks so pissed off :(

  8. Hi

    Cv joints one is brand new fitted last week & the other is 1 year old

    Had the shafts out today to inspect & thre all perfectly fine

    Car was spot on before it went off road 1 year ago & since then been on axle stands removed engine etc

    & i have BC coilovers so springs are seated proply

    Been on it all day today but still same problem when full locking

    Had the track rod ends changed so tracking is out too n tht about it

    :(

  9. Hi guys

    My last issue with the car is that -

    I have a LOUD clicking/clunk noise from when turning right & left in full lock

    Just to give u an idea Sounds abit like the wheels are scraping on plastic arch liners BUT its not

    I know it sounds like cv joints but i've changed the driverside cv joint but still the same noise in full lock both sides

    Absolutely puzzles to what it can be

    Had the both drive shafts out today & inspected them & thre all fine

    What can it possible be ? :-/

    Car was fine before tuck off road 1 year ago since then had engine & suspension out n refitted it all recently

    Only other think i know it needs tracking too as fittef track rod ends etc
