Matt1878 Posted May 12, 2015 Author Share Posted May 12, 2015 Okay so..I've had a bit of a knocking noise down by the drivers side and the driveshaft had a little more play than it should. Decided I would look at replacing the CV joint so I had the wheel off and so on to check whe splines for the CV.. Well, as I removed the Hub, the bearing literally fell apart in my hand. Ordered a new one from TD which arrived next morning (thanks again) and went to replace the old one. Removed it and it appears that the bearing had been getting that hot that it had knackered the hub as the new joint was just spinning freely.. Great news. So..On the phone to Socks who has kindl offered to go up to his lockup, get a glanza hub and ship it out for me tomorrow. Should all be sorted for Japfest. Haha!

Got centre caps and inter cooler to spray.Spacers to fit and then adjust the coilovers accordingly..Oh, I also have my final assignment for uni to hand in tomorrow which means I only really have today to do all my prep.. Oh and I'm on uni 9-3. It's going to be an effort to get this done and ready.. All I can say is..I'll see you there!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Matt1878 Posted May 14, 2015 Author Share Posted May 14, 2015 Everything is back together and working as it should.. Wheels look awesome. 30mm spacers on the rear and 25mm on the front. Need to roll the arches a tad as they catch now and again on the front.Friend of mine is a processional valleter and has my car for the next couple of hours.. Buffing , clay baring etc.. Never been done since I've had it so looking forward to the results. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
