Sorivity Posted April 25, 2015 Author Share Posted April 25, 2015 Okay The past few weeks have been a bit crap to be honest, i almost fell out of love with the car i think and was on the verge of beginning to question myself about the wheels id bought after all the complications i'd had with the wheel the following happened; my 15MM spacers from tegiwa turned up, the were a 63PCD instead of the 66PCD that i required.the ally wheel nuts i got from epic have basically shredded themselves on the passenger front hub because they were off/on so much when adjusting coilysthey left a small metal strip inside the thread of my hubs, and i then proceeded to put a set of spline nuts over them. so f**ked the spline ones too. (5 of them) ! Tegiwa managed to get me a 66PCD set of 15mm hubcentrics delivered the following day, i was told they were gunna be delivered on the monday (the guy even offered to take a set to his house in derby so i could pick them up!) A++++ service on that okay. go to fit my spacers... nope. wasnt simple, never is! The hub centric spacers exceeded the original studs. so...... ANGLE GRINDERRRR!! (first time using one might i add!) put a washer and the spacer nut on the hub to mimic how everything would sit proceeded to cut off my studs. hands down the scariest thing ive done on a car. dad filming me from the garage was a little off putting SUCCESS! finally something that went right WRONG. after a few days i started getting a weird noise from the driver front.. posted on SXOCtalking to the lads in our group chat was convinced it was my wheels rubbing on coilovers again so was under the car at 8pm after a 12 hr shift at work. nope. not the coilovers was suggested balljoints. went past the garage on wednesday and spoke to a good friend of mine 'your wheels aint tight mate' went absolutely beetroot red in the face! got home 5 mins later, jacked up driver side front and low and behind my spacer wasnt tight, tightened it up and all good! no noise!! now... nobody knows this... @Shafzzz @Roj on the way back from dropping my girlfriend off this morn, hit about 70ish on country road and started getting a weird rubbing noise from PASSENGER front. pulled over at nearest laybyjacked the car up and tightened everything on that hub. didnt hit that speed again so cant tell if everything is okay yet but im 100% hoping everything is okay now.. its a shame its took so much work, because when i bought my GT3's for my EJ it literally bolted on no problem at all, seems that ive had every possible problem that could have happened has happened. but... fingers crossed everything's ok girlfriend says no fitment pretty much perfect on the front now literally as i am about to press 'post', step mum walked in with another delivery of my amber sidelight bulbs, orderes thurs nught, turned up sat AM, cost me £2 DELIVERED. AWESOME!! until next time!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shafzzz Posted April 25, 2015 Share Posted April 25, 2015 Probably just needs the other side tightened, makes sense as you tightened one.. that's if it's the same kind of noise? Glad you're slowly getting this sorted, it's just punishment you see for leaving the Honda scene to buy a boat/mondeo. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sorivity Posted April 25, 2015 Author Share Posted April 25, 2015 i know man. part of me was wishing i got another teg or saved for a K-EG, but its just the way it looks man looks so innocent but so mean at the same time tomorrow morn gunna jack up the whole front end and tighten everything up, was kinda hard by myself because the hub was just spinning lol need someone to sit on the footbreak Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roj Posted April 25, 2015 Share Posted April 25, 2015 Nothing is ever trouble-free with cars. Your EJ6 was just the calm before this storm. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krzys Posted April 25, 2015 Share Posted April 25, 2015 Bit of a saga then! A torque wrench would be your best mate about now to make sure the nuts are tight! I killed an ally bolt the first time it went near a wheel! Never again!Get some more pictures up, that first one looks awesome you tease!
