    Suspension Overhaul

    in Suspension, braking and tyres

    Posted

    Wow, thanks for the long reply mate ;) appreciate it. The car already has hicas lock bar and front ad rear sway bars on the strut towers. And it's lowered already but I suspect the shockers are pretty worn out.

    I'll be printing the stuff out that you've mentioned and take it to a mechanic mate of mine, I'll source some parts online if I find them. Thanks again :)

    Suspension Overhaul

    Hi guys;

    I'm preparing to do an overhaul on the 32 gtst and would like to begin with suspension, this will be my daily driver and the aim is to have around 250 rwkw or so in the end. I'm going to buy coilover's at some stage but need to know what else I need to replace / get inspected. I've got lowered springs already.

    Is it just the bushes that I need replaced? which bushes exactly?

    I browsed through quite a few pages last night but couldn't find something relevant (although someone surely would've done this before) so if someone can list a few items or point me in the right direction, that'd be awesome! :)

    Thanks!

    Statuatory Warranty Question

    Hi guy - got a question about my other car ...

    I bought a 2005 Mazda sp23 from a car dealer a week and a half ago. Went for a test drive and was all good except a slight ticking sound from the engine. Dealer said its been sitting there for 2 weeks so it might be lifters etc (I now know that the sp23 doesnt even have lifters).

    Anyway long story short, the sound got really bad once the engine was completely warmed up, so I called the dealer who asked me to take it to "his" mechanic shop. At the shop, they straight away said its the bottom end and advised me to leave the car there and talk to the dealer.

    Now his mechanic said its the big end bearing and he'll fix it in a day or two ... my question is, the bearing is a pretty big fault and unless he machines the crank etc and does everything properly (which he won't since he's doing this in 2 days) - it'll be a bandaid fix at best.

    What are my chances of getting my money back from the dealer? On page 14, it says I should be able to?

    Thanks for your help in advance! :(

    Bosch 040 I think, dr drift (Sam) fit it so I'm pretty sure he would've done it right? Also if it wasn't fit properly, wouldnt i get the issues straight away instead of after a month plus?

    thanks for your help so far :)

    Hi Paul - I've cleaned the AFM thoroughly - reset the ECU as well. The EGT light NOW doesn't turn on since I took the ecu out for a diagnostic and found out the constant led on it wasn't on (made sure it was on when the ignition was on by turning the screw before i put it back in after the diagnostic and that has gotten rid of the EGT light.

    So if the diagnostic doesn't return any codes, still worthwhile doing a consult check? Nothing was touched on the car in the build up to this, just started happening all of a sudden! The fuel pump change was done over a month before this.

    Plattsy, Im going away for the weekend this week sorry :( let me know how you go with it all and we might catch up next week if you're free ... might swap TPS's and AFM's and see if it changes anything - although if both of ours are screwed up, it wont help :P
