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.

    • @Haggerty this is your red flag. In MAP based ECU's the Manifold pressure X RPM calculation is how the engine knows it is actually...running/going through ANY load. You are confusing the term 'base map' with your base VE/Fuel table. When most people say 'base map' they mean the stock entire tune shipped with the ECU, hopefully aimed at a specific car/setup to use as a base for beginning to tune your specific car. Haltech has a lot of documentation (or at least they used to, I expect it to be better now). Read it voraciously.
    • I saw you mention this earlier and it raised a red flag, but I couldn't believe it was real. Yes, the vacuum signal should vary. It is the one and only load signal from the engine to the ECU, and it MUST vary. It is either not connected or is badly f**ked up in some way.
    • @Haggerty you still haven't answered my question.  Many things you are saying do not make sense for someone who can tune, yet I would not expect someone who cannot tune to be playing with the things in the ECU that you are.  This process would be a lot quicker to figure out if we can remove user error from the equation. 
    • If as it's stalling, the fuel pressure rises, it's saying there's less vacuum in the intake manifold. This is pretty typical of an engine that is slowing down.   While typically is agree it sounds fuel related, it really sounds fuel/air mixture related. Since the whole system has been refurbished, including injectors, pump, etc, it's likely we've altered how well the system is delivering fuel. If someone before you has messed with the IACV because it needed fiddling with as the fuel system was dieing out, we need to readjust it back. Getting things back to factory spec everywhere, is what's going to help the entire system. So if it idles at 400rpm with no IACV, that needs raising. Getting factory air flow back to normal will help us get everything back in spec, and likely help chase down any other issues. Back on IACV, if the base idle (no IACV plugged in) is too far out, it's a lot harder for the ECU to control idle. The IACV duty cycle causes non linear variations in reality. When I've tuned the idle valves in the past, you need to keep it in a relatively narrow window on aftermarket ecus to stop them doing wild dances. It also means if your base idle is too low, the valve needs to open too much, and then the smallest % change ends up being a huge variation.
    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
