[rock_it]

Ouch man...

Well at least we found another use for a honda.. Stopping a speeding taxi...

[aza013]

Yep I don't think they will fix that one

[Astron_Boy]

it'll buff out.


What time we thinking of starting on saturday?

Annoyingly I have to fix rust in my sedan for rego, going to attempt some repair whilst at work, but doubt I'll get it all done

[Astron_Boy]

Public appology to Lawso for the attempted killing after Aza and myself left today.

Lucky I remembered

[aza013]

What did we forget?

Now going over check list in head

[Astron_Boy]

What did we forget?

Now going over check list in head

put wheels on car
put hydro jack under car
remove jack stands from under car
lower car on to wheels

Do a few things, we eat, we leave
Ben drives.




We did do up the wheel nuts didnt we!

Was my fault, as I was distracted with getting the engine turned over, and skipped ahead

[aza013]

Yep we did oh hang on was the car still on the stands or on the ground
I know you did go around the car doing the wheel nuts but can't recall if it was still on the stands or not.

[Astron_Boy]

was on stands
rear left i couldnt do up due to obvious reasons
rear right I did up with handbrake on
fronts kept spinning as gearbox had no lock from both wheels being in the air.

Just think, he had a hover FTO, could have almost had a sled!

[aza013]

I was going to go over them too but then started cleaning up and forgot to check them

[Lawso]

I ALMOST DIED

CAR WORKS AGAIN THOUGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

there was only 1 washer in each of the wheels a well, so it was still making noise coz it wasn't in tight enough. really annoying... do you guys know where the other 5 washers went?

[aza013]

All the ones that where there went back on mate. But you do need to get new wheel nuts as the ones you have are not the right ones for the car.

[Astron_Boy]

I ALMOST DIED

You melodramatic kids.

You had more a chance of stopping with 3 wheels than you did with no brakes

[aza013]

Put it this way the wheels were done up tighter than what they were befor we first looked at the car

Meanwhile
How do the brakes feel?
You probably haven't bedded them in enough yet.
But do they feel capable? do you feel you need more force on the pedal?

[Lawso]

still feels spongey, the brakes are fine though. there was a bit of vibration at first, then a lot, but then i think they all evened out or something co now braking is fine

[Astron_Boy]

As I said to you before, those calipers need a rebuild, you will also need to get the car re-aligned due to taking all that gear off.
