not for a hundred, no thanks

mate, cv/driveshaft joint does it for $110 i think

no way Id do that job myself. nup

Yeah I've had the outers done on the front both shafts preiously profesionally and I organised adams 260 and got that done too. But yeah as I said it was more a learning curve, wuldnt do it again!

While under car fitting new FF plenum noticed split outer boots on both sides.

After going partly insane getting tho old plenum out, came here for some R&R.

I'll order the boots Monday, and book the local Mobile Mech (he is excellent) as reading this has put me off DIY. Thank you Chris.

Allrighty... I've had a split cv boot for a while know as some may be aware about threads on pulling shaftsDRIVE SHAFT REMOVAL and post from other bits and pieces in regards to boots...

So when can I bring mine around as I have only just found out last night my right hand one split and splatted over the inner wheel well

I'll be taking it to a mates shop after all that

Last time I did one was in 2001 on my Suzuki GTI but that was easy than this sounds

Well I did my driver side inner CV boot today as I notice mine looked like it split but after taking to unit out the boot just slipped off.

I was going to take it to a shop to do it after they all said it will talk a full day to get it running again but as you have mate's that said that Bulls I bet you we'll be done in 1-2 hours max

so as you do take that bet on

So I followed everyone's tip to get this right the first time and it had made my life a lot easier as I couldn't not believe it needed a 36mm to undo the the nut on the hub but yeah it right as 36mm for a S2 as well.

After followed the steps and found the shaft wasn't that hard to pull out as some say come to think of it it was easy for me didn't need a second pair of hand so anyway fixed done and happy but I will need to replace all out and inner boots in time so have a mate looking to get me the GEN parts at a cheaper rate

And the bet They won just under 2 hour and we stopped for a smoko and beer so now I have to buy the beer for tonight party

Good bloody fun. Mobile mech $75, both sides, Kelpro boots COB 010.

Too easy.

All he had to do was

1 Take off hub

2 Separate bottom ball joint

3 Tie rod end

4 Swaybar Link.

    • You’ll be very upset when you bust that too not to mention the gearing totally sucks. Don’t do it.
    • Is the panel filter one that is oiled? Have you ever cleaned or touched the AFM?
    • So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch
    • It is the stock air box with the panel filter. Everything else is stock except the exhaust at this point, as I also went back to the cleaned 270cc injectors. I will check the RPM when the IACV is unplugged and report back.
    • As MBS suggested if this is happening when the engine is cold you're going to want to remove the intake air regulator and verify resistance + that the shutter is physically opening and closing. At -20C should be fully open, 20C half open, over 60C fully closed. At 20C should be 70-80 ohms. For AAC valve testing using a Consult cable see if you can raise and lower the idle by commanding more or less AAC duty cycle. Hopefully it's pretty linear as well, shouldn't be like 30% AAC valve is barely idling and 40% is 1500 rpm.
