  1. yeah i thought it must be a binding caliper, well they have to go and start a fresh, if it starts again it will be the caliper and i can still use the discs, my ones now are to far gone. I think the jimny's steering shake is todo with the 225 wide wheels, i think they are to wide and flat as the ride is so firm it doesnt like it much.
  2. Well my local garage rekons the passenger side disc is warped, it seems really odd that they warped so quickly as they were change in december unless they didnt change the pads. So im just going to fit all new discs n pads this week if i get a chance!
  3. The conda is going into the garage tomorrow, hope they can determin the judder problem quickly so i can get it fixed, doing my tits in lol
  4. Urm i found out the hard way, took it out of 5th and some sort of grinding happened when i tried to shift from 4L to 4H lol Wont be doing that again!
  5. Drove the jimny today, in 4L and 4H never done that before but i learned if i put it in 4L dont go on a duel carriage way lol does 30 in 5th!
  6. urm it has a bit but its still doing it, hmmm i think the starter is next lol I might just put in into my local next week, as i need to know what they think what is cuasing the brake judder, so might as well ask what the starting issue is, proby starter lol
  7. New battery came, some of the acid leaked out but only a lillte bit. £46 next day not bad for 3 years.
  8. Ill try and test drive a typr r soon see what i think. Finally picked up a Decent suzuki jimny for the missus, its pimped out lol The guy i bought her from runs a supercar dealership! And his top stock car is his own 92 orange Lamborghini Diablo 5.7!!! http://www.autotrader.co.uk/used-cars/lamborghini/diablo/used-lamborghini-diablo-ware-fpa-201311200038569?logcode=p He told me its 1 of 12 ever made, he bought 17 years ago from a lord, has 606bhp and does 0-60 in 3.2 secs lol I asked a few question here and there so on the way back to his he showed me it and started it!! Holy moly it was loud and awesome! Heres the jimny Lambo!
  9. Could be ditching this crv soon, got some funds coming, will get new brake calipers, tyres and battery to sort her out to sell. I quite fancy a ep3 typr r, ive always liked them but i dont know if ill get on with that gear stick postition. Id get a dc2 but they have seemed to have gone up in price a bit hmm
  10. lol i do that when i see nice cars in traffic on my own when driving the crv! Tom i havent gor the starter yet so that will be next month i think but we'll see...
  11. My mate sent me this earlier!!
  12. Progress last weekend, got the bends cut and lengths cut, wasnt easy as the drivers side mani is at an angle and the exhaust flanges are welded on at an angle too so took alot of offer it up, mark it, cut it, offer it again, grind some more then spot weld it, had to brake it off a couple times but finally they are ready for my mate to weld up at his work.
  13. looks proper badass mad max this camero too me want!
  14. Bit of progress on the tina, been a awhile now but im going for a push to get her running again! The 2.5" 90 degree bends came today for the downpipe, also ordered a meter length of 2.5" straight pipe all in stainless steel. Got the old downpipes off, bloody bloke double nutted the bolts so some swearing was involved! lol messed around with a possible side exit...
  15. Sry dude i drove there once and disliked it alot, i cant stand the french accent but as the crumball is going out of france thats ok lol Dave that sounds really gd, tho i dont have a M the idea is great. Shame it has to be to france tho lol Now the nurburg would be amazing and id have to go in something proper quick! I remember seeing that rust 2 rome somewhere but for the life of me i could not remember the name a few days ago so i couldnt find it, will look again!
  16. Anyone ever done the Crumball rally ? Im seriously considering doing it this year, sounds really good(apart from driving thru france) and quite cheap compared to the gunball rally. Would be good hear of some experiance
  17. At least when i throw them in they will be too scared to jump out lol
  18. as im a giant i get in at ease lol i just need rear ones now but keep spending money on hobbies lol
  19. when u pull away you can hear the tyres whiring away like they are rubbing but i checked they aint hmm and a mate at work said as its a bigger profile the speed might be wrong now, turned on my sat nav, it was about 5mph lower before and now its spot on the same speed which is ok.
  20. Made a slight error, the tyres came and on fitting i realised i got 75 profile and my old ones were 70! oops but looks great and beefed up lol No scubbing too so win win just need to watch out for 2 more to fit to the rear. Did the rear box, what could of been a 20min job turn into nearly an hour as the hooks were all wrong!
  21. Bought some part worn 7mm+ all terrain tyres, mine are 205 wide and these are 215 so a little bit more foot print
  22. Well it was a bit disappointing in the snow today, locked real easy and wheel spin was easy too. My front tyres are so crap, they are a road tyre with about 2.5-3mm tread, think its time to order some new all terrain beasts! Starting is still playing up, i think it might be battery i dont know now, think i might have to just wait till it actually wont start to work out what the real problem is! buy knowing my luck it will be in the worst situation lol
  23. Me crv decided to ghetto race boy itself by the rear box breaking off about 4pm, i think a new is around £40 so not bad, just cant be doing with numb hands on the ground for an hour! Also the starter isnt sorted, sometimes its fine most other times it starts like its got a flat battery, found a stater motor recon place but if i only could grab a freshly charged new battery and try that to see if it makes a difference dunno more pondering needed.
