2cc

Racing car bits Yan! You'll need them on that 16VG60 *lol*

Yeah, thought I'd read some correspondance on this a short while ago and think Greenstuff is the one suggested as closest match to the Pagid. Aparently they have recently(?) improved their pad.

Well, I haven't got a 2l or done the cam mod, but yes, sounds very likely to be a timing problem.

Have to agree with Steve@. I've got PIs and Koni TAs on both mine; the ride is great, especially good on the VR.

What temps was she showing? Reckon she was pretty hot looking at that

Yep, very useful bit of kit, well worth getting. Also very useful to 'crane' the gearbox with - I've rigged up a separate little hand winch to bolt on the beam for doing that.

On TG it looked great. That colour scheme is just hideous. It should only be fixed on condition it gets a proper paint job.

Yes a tad expensive, but it is really excellent stuff - I've not seen better over the years.

Jim, no doubt Carl still has the other one *lol*

The lower nut (the thing with a funny slotted top) is 40Nm (30ft lb) and the top nut is 60Nm (44ft lb)

Firstly, the top nut has a fairly low torque setting (I'm at work and can't remember the figure) so I really wouldn't recommend you tighten it with an air gun. With the top mount fully assembled and torqued up, and then only turning the top nut without locking the damper piston, you will be able to turn the top stop along with the damper piston as they are effectively locked together by the nut. The amount of turning resistance you get will depend on whether the suspension is hanging free or the weight is on the wheels. HTH

aw shucks :oops:

That does not sound good. Sudden wheelbearing failure also a high possibility going by your description. Also from what you say you cannot check yourself so would advise a garage check it soonest.

And what's wrong with teddy bears might I ask? (Mine is a fully accredited Nurburgring Co-Driver 8) )
