wheel studs

by el_bandido, 07-03-2021, 10:36 AM

Anyone got any bright ideas about getting wheel studs into the hub?

I've tried using a load of spacers and drawing them in with a nut, but that isn't getting them all the way in. I've had to knock one back out again and now I'm at the point where I just want to set fire to the car.

**** sake.

Leaving jap for a while

by Fry-Up, 05-03-2021, 02:08 PM

I havent been around much for quite a while, for personal reasons, and my Lexuseseses have served me well for over 6 years, now its time to move on, to something economical and nice, but its gonna cover more miles so I'm goin for diesel, I did consider the is220 but in my opinion it'll never be as nice as my 300, I've decided on a less obvious choice of a Saab 9-3 TiD facelifted late 2007, just waiting for the right one to come along now (150 vector sport saloon in black 70k max, with full screen nav)

Thanks to all those who have helped me with various bits and bobs over the years, there's a non jap section I will put pics on when I find my new car, but until then, I'll keep browsing quietly as I have done over the past 18 months

Just when i think i cant be doing with another project, another lands on my lap.

This time its a 1994 Mazda Lantis 323, basicly its the same as a V6 ZXi but the import version and a few more horses under the bonnet.
it also has a few toys as well, such as climate control, electric folding mirrors and variable speed wipers.

Iv got my hands sort of cut out for me on this one but not at the same time.
It looks like a daunting task from the pictures, but i give it a good dry days worth of work.

I picked this up from an old member on the 323 club mid to late last year for a tidy sum of £300, there is a lot of history with it including the paper work of import and export.

I have everything i need for it now, well almost everything, just missing some rubber for the set of alloys i have.
i dont think mr P.C Plod will like me rocking 4 space savers.

anyhoot, here is the picturs from the night i picked him up as well as a few of where he sleeps now and the goddies i have collected.











I also managed to pick up this rather tasty sounding exhaust system with custom headers






im shocked at the state of the weld joins.
powerflow should be ashamed!

just a parcel shelf to get now and then im good to go, so much so i know this will be ready in time for japfest, well other then the paint work, that will be going black as i really cant stand this vomit green vile colour.
if it is, then im gonna be torn as to what car to bring and take around track!
