HI all

AS above i have just bought a Cefiro :inlove: and I have a set of HA TEIN coil over in it and was wondering what everyone was running on the front of their ceffy I have a set of 195/65/15 for now.

When turing into corners (some quicker then most) and my tyres scrub on the inner surround of the wheel arch and even on the middle if the tyre witdth ways

Rolling the guards is an option and willbe doing that but just wanted to hear anyone else's thoughts

*sing to the rawhide tune :spank:*

roll em roll em roll em....

ur just gonna have to roll emmmmm.... out 5!!!

:) actually 5cm should give u PLENTY of clearence :spank:

or get some tough neg camber going ;)

Yea the TEIN do have camber adjusters plus height and dampeners. but the main problem is that I have rubbing on the tyre width itself on the tread pattern some thing must be sticking into on a certain angle. I am getting it looked at today and fingers crossed it is nothing serious.

So out come the rubber mallet and taped up block - guard rolling here I come

If it's rubbing IN the car then get spacers- thats what i have on the front and the tyres are 215 on 8.5 rims i believe.

Hehehe, I still need camber :D

But yeah, if you go spacers, dont forget to get the longer studs to go with it, or you will be living life on a thread (HAHAH! get it thread, like what the nut goes on to! my god Im funny!)

well found the problem and sorted it ( with a hammer) a join of metal either from the suspension wall and outer gaurd wall joint like a knife edge and was directly above the tyre so when the suspension went up the tyre would hit this knife like egde causing it to scrape and cut at the same time.

I'll get pics tomorrow and post if i can to show what I really mean.

it had me pretty dumb struck

Hehehe, I still need camber :)

haha, you knob!!!!

I was going to ask if you still had your inner guard liners, (the plastic things).

The laurel has long wheel studs on it already which is good but im not a fan of spacers, but i think i will be getting the fronts rolled as it's mightly close all round.

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
