Glanza_cl Posted October 20, 2011 Share Posted October 20, 2011 When was the gearbox oil last changed? i bet it would feel much nicer with fresh oil running round the syncro's.A good roll and flair sorts most fitment issues, just make sure you have a heat gun and take your time Quote Link to post Share on other sites

GavCheung88 Posted October 21, 2011 Author Share Posted October 21, 2011 Well... fixed my thermostat and changed the gearbox oilgearbox feels smoother and its less noisy, haent tried to throw the gear in yet becauseeeeewhen i fitted the new thermostat with was the problem when engine was cold all the time( thanks peeps for the help)when i got it all together nippy the bolts up on the housing one of the studs SNAPPPED now ive only got one nut holding it on, but its leaking the tiniest bit and i see a little bit of steam coming off it, anybody thought about extracting the stud and put a bolt in its place?yous reckon i could drive a 70mile round trip to pick my new wheels up with this 1 nut on the thermostat housing?

Glanza_cl Posted October 22, 2011 Share Posted October 22, 2011 Nope not really, think there are camber bolts but not sure how effectively they work. other then bending the rear axle or cutting it your stuck. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Amjad Posted October 23, 2011 Share Posted October 23, 2011 Be good to see if you can sort the scrubbing, maybe an adjustable panhard rod too to prevent rubbing on drivers rear?What size are the tyres? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

TrisK Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 you can camber them with shims i think Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Amjad Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 On Starlets, when lowering the rear, the axle kicks out to one side. If you imagine you're looking at the car from the back, the axle shifts to the right, so it rubs on drivers side rear. Whiteline, Cusco and RSR do adjustable panhard rods to bring the axle back in line with the front I think without one you'll probably be struggling with that one side of the car Quote Link to post Share on other sites
wssoR Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 ^ your right but pretty sure it's the other way round and pushes the axel to the left, the panhard rod connects to the drivers side of the car and the passenger side of the axel, therefore pushes it to the left, not that it matters but I'm just being pickyCar looks ace, needs more lows though Quote Link to post Share on other sites
