With that second part of the offer I think you have fucked your chances of getting a ride!!


LOL, yeah, It's part of my screening technique, anyone who accepts a Mariah Carey CD is evil and takes fancy to drinking human blood while touching themselves.



Is the RVR still in bits Ben?

How much time do you spend in a parking lot with your performance car? If you do a lot of parking lot driving, and hang out in parking lots, chances are you are a ricer, go home and read import tuner. If you’re complaining about noise you should not be modifying your car. You should also consider no longer being a man, please hand in your genitals at the door.

Give me some time to get the old girl back together and registered again. Then I can start fitting the stock pile of parts that have been collected for her.

Ok so far we only have 9 people in for dinner, but it looks like we'll have a few more for the cruise. Please bring a CB radio if you have one, if not don't stress. We usually just talk rubbish on it anyway :P

So I had quite an audible clicking/clunking sound coming from my rear left tyre when I took right hand turns (load / no load, high speed / low speed).

I thought it must be the rear CV shaft. I removed it and took it to driveshafts Australia in Slacks Creek and they pretty much told me that they couldn't help me because they don't stock and parts for the EC5A VR4 and that my best bet was to get hold of a 2nd hand one. I got him to re-boot it anyhow, hoping some fresh grease might help it along. Chucked it back in the car, clicking noise still there.

 

Before I realised that the 2nd hand shaft I received from NZ was the wrong one, I removed it again yesty and put it straight back in after I realised.

Then changed the rear brake pads, and compressed the coilover springs a bit more to give me some more height in the rear.

Now the noise seems to have disappeared. What could it have been? 

The brake pads didn't show anything obscure and they tyres don't look to have ever been rubbing on anything. I'm a bit puzzled but I'm glad the noise is gone. I hope it stays away!

 

Now I'm ready for this cruise :)

it's probable that you ride height was pushing the cv's beyond their operating angle.

 

and most cv joint places should be able to get the cups/bearings in just not alot will stock complete swap shafts

Actually that's what the driveshaft guy said. I remember now as I read your post.

Although he said that the wear groove is not overly towards the end of the cup and it shouldn't be the cause....but I'm hoping you're right! :)

 

EDIT: Maybe the bearing has been pushed further back into the cup and out of the previous wear groove, essentially giving me another bite of the cherry! Here's to hoping.. haha
