well thats the axle back on with all new bearings and a new brake pipe just need the bleed the brakes then give it a drive
2 days of panic grafting lol
hopefully it has paid off fingers crossed eh
kev

Looks like a bit of a mare

Well done getting it sorted

I think there was a receipt in with the bearing - get in touch with Highland Auto Parts, Inverness for a refund.

no no it wasnt the one you supplied that broke and i converted it the car to run on the mk 340 bearings so it was perfect
but yeah total nightmare but its done and back together and was a total sucess!!!!!
YAY!!!!!!!

next job on the list is to do some minor arch rolling to fit my wellers then its off to the drift day on saturday

well last night i got my passenger seat fitted, the rear seats out, one arch rolled need to roll the other one tonight
and if there is time adjust my handbrake then im ready for some skids on saturday
and my wheel bearing/axle mix and match situation seems to have paid off there has been no whines or anything
YES!!!!!!!! EPIC WIN!!!!!!!! lol

Good shooting dude.
Happy skidzingz.

thanks man
the arch rolling has been completed its not pretty but it will dothe job for just now and they had a few rusty bubbles anyways
but now i can fit my wellers and be rolling in style
kev

any chance you'd be selling those mk2 glt wheels then?

That Vultures getting around!

nope sorry they wont be for sale not just now anyways
well maybe for the right price but it wont be cheap

well the drift day was a sucsess!!! woo hooo was dry all day and my car had no problems spinning the wheels up
but it did highlight some minor issues;
1. i have a lack of skill with a bit more power. im used to fighting my old 340 every step of the way and the glt is a bit easier resulting in me spinning lots lol
but its better than not having enough power to spin the wheels in the dry. so just a case of getting used to it

2. handbrake is poop lol so will get a hydraulic one in the near future then instant wheel locking

3. when i got down to half a tank the fuel pump started getting starved of fuel when sideways so im guessing a swirl pot will solve this problem?

apart from the above the car is awesome but i just need the practice as the increase in power did highlight how poop i really am lol
but i had fun that the main thing
but got some pics of it rocking the wellers for you all



and a pic of my new seat fitted

and some nice wheel fitment

no spacers, just 13"x6j wellers with awesome offset and some arch rolling
sorry for poop pics
one of the photographers aparently got some "pretty sweet shots" of me attempting to skid lol
so ill post them up when he sends me them
cheers
kev

enjoy
