Solid steering knuckle bushing
How’s things ,
The sport has started handling very bad , the bushing in the steering knuckle is on its way out .
Does anyone know where I can buy a solid bush or know if I can just make some thick spacers ?
Thanks in advance

Re: Knocking noise - engine rebuilt
Sounds like a plastic noise right under glovebox. Reved engine whilst feeling gearbox and engine and can't feel a noise . pretty sure its not either. Could it hardly be a short shifter I fitted?

Knocking noise - engine rebuilt
Fully rebuilt my m20b25. When car is revved there's a knocking/tapping sound coming from below glovebox to middle of dash. Gets louder and quicker when going up revs.
No noise on idle, what could this be

Re: where do these wires go?
Brian. The wires are wrapped in black factory core. In one of wires there are brown and orange and brown and yellow. In the other wire is just all brown and about 4 or 5 wires.

Red oxide primer
Hi,
i am going to be attempting a home respray and underseal in the coming weeks, i shall be making a diy spray booth outside with heavy duty plastic and a wooden frame. As it is outside im just wondering can you prime a car in red oxide to protect it before body prep?
thanks
