What's a pinion snubber?

 

Found it after a little searching! Good looking out Macz! I probably wouldn't have put one in till you gave me the first heads up.
Thanks,
Damon

 

Yup. My diff mount is going bad, so I'll have to do that soon.

 

how do you know if the mount is going bad?

 

the rear end knocks on every shift, common on fc's, weld it like casey did when he had the white fc that he sold to my friend

 

^^^ HE HE HE, yeah, I have done that to many of my FCs.

 

Found a door handle.

Will, don't you ride a bike? What is it?

 

i think its a ninja 250cc..... but cant remember for sure ....... as soon as i get off my *** and go get my motorcycle license, ive got an 04' suzuki katana 750 waiting for me.. but in not in a huge hurry to die just yet, and the current owner is more than willing to hold onto it until i get my license

 

I hear you on that. My buddy just got a DRZ400 and its driving me nuts.


On a lighter note: I GOT MY WHEEL CENTERS BACK FROM PAINT!

 

heres a 'before' picture, it was too big to post

I love SA3R's.

 

Looks niiiiiceeee Matt!

 

I know! I'm so excited!

I just gotta figure out how to get them back together....

Macz, these wheels would look AMAZING on your car....

 

put them back together??? I would think its as easy as bolting the 2 peices back together??? no???

 

They would wouldn't they?

My next wheels however are going to be either RE-A's or 17 inch ssr's, WIDE.

 

They are so tight that its really hard to get them to seat flush against the rim of the wheel. Believe me 'bolt them back together' was my first idea.

 

oh matt, young one, did you ever thing of the wheel tightening pattern? top bottom left right, and keep going in a star formation as to seat it properly, kinda like when you do a cylinder head to, you use the cross patternso it will sit completley flush with the backing. dont mention it

 

yeah i get that, but man these are tight. Somethings going to snap.

 

not necissarily, also, on the outter part of the center piece, looks like almost 1/64 in of paint, sand that off too, every little bit counts. but if you do it in a star pattern, its will be like pressing it into the outter rim

 

as undisputed said... if the wheels are powder coated, they are gonna be thicker than they were.. so youll have to sand down the outer section of the tri-spoke.... thats why it wont fit.... the center is now thicker than it was before powdercoat..... id aslo 100% recommend sanding down part that actually bolts to the wheel.... otherwise you might run into the problem of it not sitting flush... mainly due to the paint being thicker in some areas

 

I'm done.




I hate these wheels, I hate cars, I'm getting a bicycle, I'm done.

FS: white Super Advan SA3R's (Not assembled) $1,000 (not even what it cost me)

 

Damn. Were the edges already sanded down?

 

lol... you give up way too easy matt! everytime something doesnt go as planned, its up for sale! lol... you owna fc! get used to the fact that 99% of things wont go your way, and will be a son-of-a-bitch to get right! BUT, when they finally do, and you sit back and look at your car after all the hard work, you'll be very happy!


and as for the bolt.....not too big of a deal.... a hardware store should have it, and if not, then replace all of them with ones they do have.. (bolts are cheap).... but ill garuntee you didnt do what we said you needed to do so that wouldnt happen! patience is a virtue my friend! do it right the first time, and it will reward you! you know what happens when you do it the wrong way

 

i think you know the answer to that!

 

lol i know i know, just a bit of frustration.

And im sure they will fit without sanding:

A. they were originally powder coated
B. They were sand blasted really well before the new powder coat.
C. i forget c

besides if i sand it down it'll show.
