The only wheel nut that was still "tight" was the security nut. Car was packed at the Airport car park for aprox 1 hour yesterday. Only time its been out in the last two weeks. I think somebody may have had a crack at pinching a wheel. Me Rh rear wheel is now rooted, stud holes are about twice the size they should be.So off too Alliance tomorrow to see if they can be fixed. If not time for new wheels. Im thinking Axis hiros. Whats people thoughts on these in black or antracite on a velocity T? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Need sandwich plate and that's about it I think Will wait until Ford are done with their warranty work.Spots - it's FG FPV weekLeach today - only the second time I've seen one I think!F6'sLeachCanning HwyALso spotted a white lancer (I think) and a red ford ute (early E series maybe?) smoking the tyres as they turned at the lights on ROe/GEH. I had a laugh as I was pulling up and the ute was turning them just a little, gave him a grin and thumbs up, hahaha.Oh and Stef... we need a heat source. I'm not experienced with putting them in ovens, lol. Sorry I need a bit of a whipping to get these things organised, always feel like doing nothing come weekend time Zaff said he'd do it for you for free though.

Guest Slash Guests Posted 01/07/10 02:51 PM Share Posted 01/07/10 02:51 PM YIPEEE!!!!!!! The Falcon is back on the road with a new clutch set up. Thanks simon and the boys @ xtreme is a treat. Actually like the feel better than the AP ...Whole new clutch or just plates?If whole new clutch, I'll give you some coin for the old setup Steve, you need Defi's!I wouldnt be too concerned because most of the time they are just for bling onlyNot too many people would have the skills to be driving hard, notice what is exactly happening with their gauges and to stop the car if needed.Cheaper guages are worthless, but decent ones with accurate warning lights/sensors are very benificial whilst driving hard.awww no replies today :(An also what susepsion set ups are people running?People with utes perferably?thinking of some sl front an ssl rear king springs an maybe sway bars? but im not to sure on all this stuffinfo Please :D?!!Spend the extra $$$ and get something decent. Lowered springs & standard shocks are the ghey!Have Pedders coilovers in my ute atm, but will be swapping them out with Bilsteins in the very near future as I loved them in my sedan. If you're keen for my current setup, send us a pm Spotted,Me going for a wild ride on Reid hwy today, Car developed a noise which I thought may have been a centre bearing or Pinion bearingCar then developed a very nasty shudder and I was just able to get it off the Hwy and out of harms way to find the RH rear wheel ready too fall off the car (!!!)

Black hides the dirt better which means less time cleaning the car!But having said that, it would be good to see what they look like on the car with a quick photo chop chop. Surely someone out there can help our friendly mod to do this! Edited 01/07/10 03:00 PM by xr6t ego Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
