Going to need four new ones soon.

by fluff, 15-07-2019, 02:03 PM

Howdy peeps.

I'm going to need four tyres soon. As much as I'd like four of Michelin's finest I'm finding it hard to justify the price of £250 per corner.

Handling isn't high on my list of priorities but quietness is and good controll in the wet.

The tyre size is 245/45/18. Also forgot to mention that the car is **** heavy.

It's currently running on Michelin Pilot Sports on the front and Bridgestone Turanza's on the back. I quite like the look of Kumho Ecsta's or what ever they are called.

Any suggestions?

Question for math boffs - serp belt size

by jimxms, 15-07-2019, 10:50 AM

So I'm going from a 2.55" pulley on my supercharger to a 2.25" pulley. The serpentine belt that currently fits great is a 6PK2515 (2515mm) belt.

My basic 'year one' maths tells me that the pulley is 0.30" smaller in diameter, but as the belt only makes contact with half of the pulley, I only need to account for 0.15" difference which is 3.8mm.

Now, the question is if I deduct 3.8mm from the 2151mm belt will that be correct, or do i really need to deduct 7.6mm from the belt length to account for the fact that I need to reduce the circumference by 3.8mm?

Or am I speaking utter twoddle. Someone help!!

Help Needed

I keep getting a rubbing noise from my rear right wheel every time I turn left (under load).

I've taken the wheel off and had the disc off and the springs on the shoes had come off so I sorted that but I've still got the noise when I turn

Has anyone one got an idea what it could its doing my head in it sounds horriable when I'm out in the car

Jae show and shine

by Lexusboy, 14-07-2019, 02:17 PM

Here are the show and shine list of category and timings

Show n Shine timetable:

09:45 - Isuzu

14:30 - Mitsubishi

There is no limit to the number of cars that can enter. KLEERS have agreed to go back to the traditional JAE method of judging cars. There will be a timetable by manufacturer and each car will be judged on merit at the set time, not later, not earlier. All car entires will need to sign a regsiter so we know who the winners are. However, we respectfully request car clubs do not flood the event for their own purposes or use it for their own internal competitions. KLEERS reserve the right to not judge any cars and will do so if car clubs turn up 'mob handed' with more than a few selected cars only.
