man, just putting a wheel back on ruins me (knees)... certainly with the cold weather.

nasty stuff with no patella's

got all this stuff on the go with the r32 rb26 but cant muster the will in my knees to do anything.

so so need a car hoist, and hell a heated garage with plug-in knee warmers would be nice

do u wear pressure braces on ur knees? probably a dumb question but i use em on my wrists for RSI

sounds like u need some bionic knees dude, either that or get em chopped off and get a couple of struts bolted to ur femur and get urself a spare rim and run a single toyo r1r on it...

-D

ive got a box of baking soda in the kitchen

just trying to work out what mixture to use as the last time i did it , well failed epicly because corrosion is back again ...

Baking Soda is what pro mechanics use with warm water , no real trick to doing it , but you must prevent corrosion by taking that battery out , which by the way its illegal to use a wet cell battery in the boot of your car ADR without proper venting,drain holes. and as you can see , there a crappy battery that farks everything when it spills. buy a gel cell or AGM battery and redo the connectors , no more corrosion from acid

plus the car will thank you by starting easier

boiling water does sweet fark all , unless you want to make things steamy too..lol or if you rinse with it.

you can get a battery spray that coats the terminals with some redish oily crap to seal the corrosion off, might find it in a boat store , haven't seen it in normal car shops here in OZ

Good news Luke!

In other news, dropped my head off to Rhemac tonight, wicked set up they have going there, some serious work gets pumped out of there! Bad news is I left there with more options, and unfortunately, more money to spend. It's more of a case as to how far do you go, you need to draw the line somewhere, I just don't know where that is

    • I know I have to get a wheel alignment but until then I just need to bring the rear tyres in a bit they're wearing to the belt on the inside and brand new on the outside edge. I did shorten the arms a bit but got it wrong now after a few klms the Slip and VDC lights come on. I'd just like to get it to a point where I can drive for another week or two before getting an alignment. I've had to pay a lot of other stuff recently so doing it myself is my only option 
    • You just need a wheel alignment after, so just set them to the same as current and drive to the shop. As there are 2 upper links it may also be worth adding adjustable upper front links at the same time; these reduce bump steer when you move the camber (note that setting those correctly takes a lot longer as you have to recheck the camber at each length of the toe arm, through a range of movement, so you could just ignore that unless the handling becomes unpredictable)
    • I got adjustable after market rear camber arm to replace the stock one's because got sick of having to buy new rear tyres every few months. Can anyone please let me know what the best adjustment length would be. I don't have the old ones anymore to get measurements. I'm guessing the stock measurement minus a few mm would do it. Please any help on replacing them would be fantastic I've watched the YouTube clips but no-one talks about how long to set the camber arm to.
    • Heh. I copied the link to the video direct, instead of the thread I mentioned. But the video is the main value content anyway. Otherwise, yes, in Europe, surely you'd be expected to buy local. Being whichever flavour of Michelin, Continental or Pirelli suits your usage model.
    • Continental have consistently beaten the absolute shit out of every other performance tyre in Wet/Damp/Cold conditions and give up a little bit of time (half a second at most) in the dry. Almost like it's engineered for German conditions or something. I'd def give those a try.
