Mayo can also be caused by lots of short jourines. Lots of warming up = condensation mixed with oil = Mayo but yeah, sounds like head gasget. Best way is to have the compression checked

Anyone know if the center pipe for an astra mk4 estate is the same as the ones for the saloon? The rear box looks longer, so im 80% sure the center pipes are the same.

and yet still less shit then this thread

Glad im not the only one that does that

A - im running a 14T sprocket on a pro 2 trials with no issues

Also, everyone's argument here on whether ABS stops you quicker or not is missing the point. ABS isn't designed to stop you any quicker. Its designed to stop your wheels from locking up, so you still have control over the car whilst heavy breaking.

I always though you could shim the cam followers on overhead cam engines?

Where's the ban hammer when you need it?

i always think 5mm clamp section is always overkill on bashrings. I always ran 3mm, and had no issues. I'd rarther destroy a bashring, then strip the threads on a crank due to their not being enough thread engagement.

They're stress fractures, from repetitive forces. You don't have to impact a frame to crack it.

they lock the wheels up, then slightly reduce the pressure to allow the wheels to turn, then start applying more pressure until the wheels lock, and keep doing this. thats why the marks on the road are always patchy, because they dont stop the wheels from locking up, they just ease off the brake pressure as soon as they do lock up.

Not quite, as the outside wheels travel further than the inside ones whilst corning. I was just showing that your wheels don't have to be locked up to leave tyre marks on the road. I think abs does just prevent the wheels from locking up, however I believe they lock/unlock/lock as they have no way of telling how much traction you have until the wheels lock up.

you can 'skid' because the wheels are going slower/faster than the car, the wheels dont have to lock up to cause marks.

im running a Q6600 under standard clock and that averaging 27 degrees. that's with a zalman CNSP10X in a coolermaster haf 912 case

is that idle or under load? Also what cpu cooler?

use a medium star nut and grind it down a bit. Especially if you leave sharp edges, they help dig into the steer tube

shows how useless the police is though. Video footage, 2 witness's, got the guy's reg number yet nothing has happened about it......

Nothing to deal with? Shes not stupid: your a bloke, she knows you eat meat. In my opinion theres usually two types of vegetarians. Ones who do respect others choices to eat meat, and ones who try and force their choices down your throte. If she was the latter, you'd already know about it....

MOTs are bullshit. My car passed in December, and so far the fails I've found are: track rod end is literally hanging out rust in the chassis rail big enough to fit your hand in

depends on the inner tube. smaller diameter tubes usually do this, its perfectly normal.

I've been using an ssd for a couple years now, had absolutely no issue to be honest. Recently upgraded to using ssd in stripped raid, the reliability of new ssd technology is on par with platter drives. I store all my important data on a separate drive as a matter of course, but i'd have absolutely no issue with storing it on an ssd. At work I've recently upgraded all the remote worker laptops to ssd drives, had one or two issues, but that's mainly related to encrypting drives/(with mcafee ) windows updates/old laptops, ect.

forteh, from my understanding, the hybrid uses the ssd chips as a cache for the normal platters, so it just caches recent/most used data,, i.e a performace boost over normal drives, but not the full performance you get from ssd.

I see where your coming from. surely you'd only be talking a few degrees? which the pads would wear into? imo, would be woth a try and seeing how bad it'd be before getting the file out and modifying shit!

explain? surely if you put a washer on the hub axle, in-between the fork leg and hub spacer, it'd push the fork leg out (and therefore the caliper) away from the disk?

spacer in-between the fork and hub spacer, will push the calliper away from the disk?
