Porks bike carbs and boost project

****ed it up when changing hub over lol,

Whole thing was dodgy anyway, cv joint fell apart, lost ball bearings, boots ripped......trashed! That's what I get from trying to do repairs jus before it gets dark

 

[h701micra]

Ah well. New one was in order anyway

 

[pork]

Yup!

Not gunna bother with another dodgy scrap yard find, ordered brand spanking new one, got brand new one for near side other week, so il treat other side to new one too

 

[h701micra]

Wish I can order new ones like that :/

 

[pork]

Suppose yours are all custom jobbies

Ordered jus now, should be here tomorow

Thats why I'm doing a reinforced chassis notch for my GA16. Oem spares ftw.

Afraid so but that's what's needed to avoid this chassis notching nonsense

 

[pork]

Aaa argh

I thought all k11 hubs were same!?

Here's old one

And recently bought one

New one doesn't fit the bottom ball joint, the holes to small!

 

[frank]

jdm maybe neil ?

 

[pork]

jdm maybe neil ?

I took it from a early pre f/l k11 in scrappy, if I'd known that they were differnt, I woulda kept the k10 lower arms, as I think they would off fit that ball joint, oh well.

I always seem to come across all the odd ball size for parts

 

[Enuo]

Early K11's like mine need a 30mm socket for the hub nut and later ones need a 32mm socket iirc, so I wonder if there were other changes?

 

[pork]

It would seem that way.

Had same problem with my k10 shafts, different to all the others about!

Still waiting on new shaft to arrive, said it would be here by now
Hate waiting for parts!!

 

[Enuo]

This is the stuff we should be cataloging while micras aren't too rare...

 

[pork]

Blaaahhhh!

Got new shaft.

That little c shaped spring clip that's on the spline , how imports is that?
Long story short, it was bent, tried fixing it, and it flew away somewhere

 

[pork]

It's been one of those weeks

 

[h701micra]

They hold the bearing on the shaft. Relatively important bud
The vacuum the cv joints create when you go round a corner or over a bump can pull a bearing off the shaft. Extreme example but it'd be just your luck

 

[pork]

The tiny ones on the gearbox side

 

[h701micra]

The tiny ones on the gearbox side

All as important as each other matey

 

[pork]

Daaaaaaammmmmmmmm!!!!!!!'

Stupid car, stupid parts, stupid little bloody ****ty clip things!!

It's the cars fault, it couldn't possibly be mine at all

 

[pork]

Hahaha !!

I jus snapped key in the workshop door too

....... That's it, I'm out

 

[Skinner_87]

Doesn't sound like your having much fun at all

 

[pork]

All I wanna do is take this thing for a proper drive!!

Been soooo long

 

[h701micra]

I bet mate it'll be made of new parts soon

 

[pork]

I know, sort of defeating the whole scrap heap challenge I had planned

 

[h701micra]

Get spares from a scrappy then

 

[pork]

Blap!

 

[Belly93]

still only half a plate? lol

 

[pork]

I have the other half, jus not attached

 

[padraicR]

Neil's creating a new trend , just you wait adam itll catch on

 

[h701micra]

I have the other half, jus not attached

And you said the Scrapheap challenge bit was over

 

[Belly93]

mines only cable tied on so i surprised its actually still there lol

 

[pork]

Found the little c-clip spring thing!!!!

All bolted on........tracking needs sorting badly tho! Even tho I've jus hadding it done. That hub and wobbly shaft must off been proper shagged to put tracking out that much after replacing with new parts.

Also if anyone has one of these that will go over a 32mm nut

Il glady take it off your hands

 

[h701micra]

I have many of them Neil.
Pm your address I'll send you a couple

 

[Belly93]

ill have a rake in my tool box tomorrow for ya

 

[pork]

Cheers people

Tracking will have to wait till Wednesday, need gearbox oil too, and should be able to buy rest of exhaust parts


Ooooo, that reminds me, the centre exhaust hanger bracket, I've misplaced mine (boss probably threw it away ) so if anyone has one of those, il take that too

 

[h701micra]

You're a nightmare
I'll look tomorrow

 

[pork]

I blame my boss with his OCD tidy workshop obsession

 

[h701micra]

I blame my boss with his OCD tidy workshop obsession

I'm the same

 

[Belly93]

I'm the same

sounds great ill deffo come work there my current place i a **** hole lol

 

[pork]

I'm more of an organised mess kinda guy

 

[h701micra]

Neil's a messy one you see... and thinks tidy is OCD

 

[pork]

Still got rumbly feeling when turning



All wheel bearings ok
Brand new drive shafts
Tracking done

What else?

Wheel balance? It's fine in straight line though

 

[h701micra]

Tyre pressure?

 

[h701micra]

General road noise?

 

[pork]

It's a juddering feeling when turning left and right

 

[h701micra]

Loose wheel nuts
Seriously tho... They are tight?

Only when turning?

 

[pork]

Yeah lol

Only when tutning

 

[h701micra]

Yeah lol

Only when tutning

New driveshafts... just the shaft or new bearing and cv caps etc?

Correctly greased?

Sounding to me like the wheel bearings though

No binding brakes?
