need an answer to this quick:

Took my car to Beaurepairs to get my front wheels balanced! they finished and when I went out the guy tells me that one of my $250 kics nuts has been threaded and same as the stud on the spacer. Is there anything I can do? He told me they were hard to get off so he had to get them off by hand and it was f**ked already....

do NOT accept this.

look for signs of scratching on the nuts and see if they used the gun and then call head office and complain

tell them you EXPLICITLY directed them not to use a rattle the gun and they did due to nothing but laziness.

you want a new set of kics nuts or the $350 (retail) to replace them. also a new stud or spacershould be paid for

just go HARD

annoying knocking noise coming from one of the rear coilovers what does that mean? no leaks as far as i can see...

chek your bushes? Mine made knocking noises from the front due to worn rosejointed bushes

Give the tops and crack with a spanner.

Do you have a rear strut bar? That could have come loose.

Wheel nuts..

Wheel nuts..

you mean tighten the tops? they are..

no rear strut bar

wheel nuts are fine

old coilovers were a bit noisy but that was coz i had removed the helper springs and compressed the springs. these HKS ones are louder

    • So, this shouldn't be such a mission, but there were a few tricks so I thought I'd post up a DIY for it. This was on a Q50 Red Sport but I doubt any other V37 model is very different (maybe just less steps for the intake heat exchanger hoses) I pulled the radiator out to flush it because the car was running hot at the track, but obviously the same steps apply for changing a radiator for any reason including an upgrade. If you are removing the radiator, you of course need to drain and refill, so have 5+ litres of blue coolant ready. You don't need to drain the intake heat exchanger to remove the radiator but depending on your plans you may need a couple of litres for that as well. You will also need something to deal with the auto transmission lines, I used 2x 8mm rubber caps on the radiator side, and a short length of 8mm pipe on the car side.....unless you can block these lines quickly you will loose AT fluid and it may be enough to hurt the transmission if you don't refill it. Other than that....lets go... "First, jack up your car". Yes really, and put it safely on stands. If you are not confident doing that you need to give this job to a mechanic
    • If the forester is anything like our old 2007 GTB Liberty, I could near on run ling Long's and "rate them", as no matter what, it just hung to the road, even when abusing it in a hard launch in the wet, or throwing it at corners.

    • Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.
