The machining for the ears has to be done for z17's as well? As for hardware I was not ready to pay 100+ for nuts and bolts, so found MAN truck propshaft has the size and grade what I needed, part numbers FE12327 and FE02140, for the bushings I used brass pipe OD16mm ID 14mm and just cut to size.
@AutoAfflicted Күн бұрын
That’s good info! I figured by the time I found the info and went to the hardware store it would be worth $100. Regarding machining for 17z it just depends on the rotor you use … likely needs some mods even if using stock rotor
@jamesewing9037 2 күн бұрын
im wanting to do this to my c5 s6.. prob use jhm rotors for weight and not having to grind the calipers. My hold up is wheels. Have 18" two piece bbs rs-gt and im not sure theyll fit in there. any way you could measure the setups overall size with the rotor on there? see if the numbers work for these bbs before i pull the trigger. And, how do they feel when driving?
@AutoAfflicted Күн бұрын
I’d be happy to make a measurement are you looking for diameter conflict with the barrel or caliper conflict with spoke?- What is the offset of your BBS? My Oettinger wheels are 35 ET. Pedal feel is similar to stock brakes but stopping is much better, I’ve not done any Canyon runs yet… also I will bleed my brakes again to see if the pedal feel is gets more firm

@@AutoAfflicted yup, barrel conflict is why i ask. wheels are 32 ET and will prob space them to like 25 ET all said and done. just worried id get it all together and they don't clear. stoked they feel good for ya!

Rear has slotted drilled brembo rotors and upgraded pads. You can upgrade rears with Brembo calipers as well but then I believe you have to add an ebrake solution

Not sure what point you think you have to make about the smart car but the truth is..."there is no risk to owning a smart car". I'm been driving them since 2012 and there is no risk or downside to owning a Smart Fortwo. Oh yes...there is a world of uniformed, misinformed and over opinionated idiots out there who are full of fact free opinions about the smart car and that will always be the case. The truth regarding the smart car is that there is no risk in owning one of these. I've had 2 of them, they are easy to work on, they are safe, they are solid, they are sound and a lot of fun to drive anywhere....even off the road in the Arizona desert.

The C124 is much nicer and as Bruno Sacco also said... his most successful creation, together with the normal W126.

How bad is it for the turbo if you didn’t prime it before start up? Car sat over winter and I cranked it a few times before starting it and then let it idle for about 5minutes before shutting it off but my 2871r sounded very noisy during idle
@AutoAfflicted Ай бұрын
Well, the turbo spins at super high RPM so even a short duration of running dry can be hard on it. You would want to at least make sure that your oil delivery line is primed to know that the turbo is getting lubed. With a new turbo often they probably should have some sort of assembly lube, but always good to get some more in there if you can.

Parts are slowly becoming an issue in N. America (Canada).I have two and I am a mechanic. Bought one for 500 with 50,000 miles and a blown motor (overheat). Rebuild was smooth and it runs great. Had to underspec one of the exhaust vales by 2 thou and it ticks a tiny bit out the exhaust (sounds like a lifter, but it's not). My suggestion is don't buy one if you don't twist a wrench at all. They come in at the wrecker once in a while, but I assume lots of larger American cities probably have a ton of them at the wreckers.
