I ride mate, and I'll tell you that a steering damper is so handy on rippled or pot-holed roads. I can imagine it would be good on a car too, but i never thought about it. The practice is that it's connected on one clip-on (handlebar) and then on the chassis so there is less free movement of the st...

Pancho, Mats said it all when he said "What the hell is a steering damper and why in the world would you want one? " but you didn't get it. I expanded on what he said but you didn't get it. I will say no more. I like parking my car without having to wrestle the wheel every time, and I don...

At the time the program was aired "Bestness" is such a great measuring unit

that is so bizarre. as far as i know the bolts you are referring to are 19mm and 17mmon the button. perhaps it is possible that whoever touched them last rounded them off a bit... vittorio Or sloppy tolerance sockets. Use a micrometer or equivavalent gauge on the bolt heads... gah I dont know the E...

Have you been messing with the AFM spring ? Sounds like the spring has lost its tension.It's easy to check just remove the air filter and use your finger to see if the flapper has spring tension when you push on it.If it doesn't your about to take a major lesson on AFM calibration. :evil: Why? Tens...

Hi guys.. I started the car yesterday"all fine", But when i tried to get the revs up a bit, it just didnt want to go, heard a knock, knock noise coming from the front.. Stuck my head in the bonnet, and found that the knock noise came from the AFM.The big flap that lets the air in, its lik...

I can check the Watts linkage simply by measuring the length of each arm, correct? They should be equal length on a 75, right? If one is bent, will it work to bend the other until they are equal length? My car has rear lowering springs, so the arms are too long anyway. yes yes yes and check where t...

see driled plate on lower A arm ... attachment point of AR bar links .. close to inner end of A arm -> less travel of link-> "less stiffnes" close to outer end of A arm more travel-> more ARbar twist sorry but english is farrr from my native language :lol: and hard to explain tech things ...

...the only part not visible here are the two center-mount clamps that secure the horizontal section of the bar to the front cross-member... Ok, then I follow... thought it was something like this: http://new.minimania.com/web/Item/NMS2002/LargePic.cfm?LargeImage=NMS2002a.JPG&Partno=ULTRIK%20AD...

I haven't seen any pic of the swaybar in topic, what I meant was adjusting the fitting of the swaybar, as the mspaint artwork might show.
Swaybar and A-arms in black, stiff setting in red and normal setting in blue.

Hi guys... Yesterday I was going to install Bilsteins on my TS and I think they are too "tall" for the car since it´s lowered about 4cm (1,5 Inches). I sent them to the mahining shop to make them about 4cm shorter so it can suit the low height I´m running. Have any of you guys done this o...

Hi, I'm getting my 2.5 rebuilt with JE pistons (10,5:1), C&B Stradale Massimo cams, head work ++ I was planning to use the stock L-jet with this setup until I can afford a modern setup - but is a bit concerned that the L-jet can't cope with the new internals. What do you guys think - can I tamp...
