Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] knocking front end, it's driving me mad. HELP PLEASE.

The clunking is terrible. It sounds like the while front of the car is about to drop off. I'll have another play around tomorrow & see what else I can rule out being at fault. Still, new top mounts can't do any harm over the 19 yr old ones that at on the car.

Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] knocking front end, it's driving me mad. HELP PLEASE.

After taking off the wheel & manually lifting the hub I'm inclined to thinking it may be the insert. The noise is defiantly most noticeable around the centre of the shock.
It's a bit of pain as I just got 2 new TRD top mounts that were a bit expensive & may need to buy a new insert.

I have recently had the car tracked and balanced and both came in fine. i've checked for play in the hub and ball joint ...

Re: tyre sizes

This is always good for finding the best size.

Use the original wheel sizes & then input the details of the new & it will give the best choice. :thumleft:

Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] Boss kits

Not too sure about that. Have you got a wiring diagram?

What do you guys recommend as a good size wheel? I can't decide if is Gould get a 330 or 350?!

Hi dudes I was driving my tubby home tonight & my drives hub bearings basically disintegrated leaving the car in drivable.

[Mk2] [Turbo] Possible boost issue (BOV)

I've just fitted a Blitz BOV to my tubby & after having a bit of a run out the boost needle isn't fully moving up. It was doing this before I fitted this new BOV. I've checked the vacuum hose & there's no leaks of splits.
Anyone have any ideas what I should check now?
Thanks peeps!

Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] dc2 recaros whats needed?

I was thinking of doing the same but as far as I could see recaro don't make any subframes for an sw20. It would be pretty easy to get some mounting brackets made that could modify the standard rails.
My mate did something similar with his vtec crx.
