Porks bike carbs and boost project

[pork]

Will do,
Out of curiosity, was it really difficult doing it your way?

 

[h701micra]

Im absolutely certain someone did it on here and put it in their blog and it was well pictured and described... archive dig

 

[pork]

That's a good point, do u have a blog Jamie ?

 

[jamier2007]

No unfortunately I haven't got round to doing a blog. If I'm honest it was a bit of a chore, Frank explained how he did his somewhere. The car still isn't on the road, and I'm not sure whether they're going to hold up. And in the end I welded the ball joints in and seam welded the whole wishbone. I'll get a picture tomoz

 

[h701micra]

I'll set about posting this alternator in the next hour or so

Finished all coilover work today

So..... From start to finish

This is my way, copy this at your own risk people!

Rears, cut down bush to correct width of k10 mount, that is all that's needed

Fronts,

Drill new holes to match mounting holes

Weld on something to strengthen it up

Drill this to 14mm

Stick this on a lathe a trim down so it fits into plastic bearing

Bolt together

Job done

It's a couple hours work max from start to finish

 

[h701micra]

Did your not come with top cups then... or just had one made for a better fit?

 

[pork]

The silver top cup bit on the suspension?

It doesn't fit the k10 top mount bearing
So needs to be cut on lathe to make it fit

 

[pork]

This is how it came

 

[padraicR]

Nice work neil , lookong forward to seeing these under the ten !

 

[pork]

Same as !!!!

 

[h701micra]

Ah I see mine are a totally different shape to yours then. That's why I ask

 

[jamier2007]

Should be a jem with those on! Unlike the usual boat

 

[pork]

It needs it!!

Was scary enough running original suspension with ma10 turbo !

 

[jamier2007]

Mine was scary with a boggo ma10 haha.

How do you remove the old ball joints?

 

[jamier2007]

Umm haha. I made a mash of it with a grinder. But I'd say best thing would be to drill a pilot hole through the bottom and then use a hole cutter that's the right size!

 

[pork]

Always thought they were pressed in

Shows what I know lol

 

[h701micra]

Always thought they were pressed in

Shows what I know lol

They are an interference fit

 

[pork]

So can they be forced out

 

[h701micra]

If you've a big enough press
To get them out you may aswel cut across it. And push the bottom bit down... if that makes sense

 

[jamier2007]

Yeah that's what I did. But it got a little bit messy too get it all the way out.

 

[padraicR]

I got to take one out using two pieces of bar, one which had a hole and went on oneside of the wishbone , then bet it out with the other piece of bar and a hammer , worked well no damage done

 

[jamier2007]

I usually do things the hard way first time and then realise after haha. Like my d/s engine mount is completely different too everyone else :/
What the coilovers off of pork?

 

[pork]

From a polo

 

[jamier2007]

Did you go for the cheapy ones on eBay? And what do you think of them stiffness/ quality wise?

 

[pork]

Yeah, cheapo all the way

Haven't tried these ones, but the ones I had on last car were fine

 

[pork]

Today's problems

Hubs n shafts

I bought some k11 hubs ages ago, put them on and the k10 shaft splines are to small!

Is there a certain model of the k11 I need the hubs from?

 

[jamier2007]

Mine were off a pre facelift 98 SR. And they fitted with no problems!
Are your hubs off a 98 onwards? Cos they have different gearboxes and maybe shafts?

 

[pork]

Have no idea....but they probably are the later ones!!
Dam

Oh well, il have to get new ones

Also, is there any difference between 1.0 and. 1.3 brake calipers/discs

Thinking if I can jus go scrappy and take whole hub/brakes assembly

Brakes are all the same up until the 1.4 facelift going vented i think mate

 

[jamier2007]

As far as I'm aware the part numbers for the 1.0l and 1.3l pads are the same. Therefore same ones. And I doubt the hubs are any different. Last lot of pads and discs I got were £24 for all of it

 

[pork]

Thanks people

That makes it easier

 

[jamier2007]

I'll check and see if I have any 1.0l hubs and calipers etc.

Cool

 

[pork]

Need a belt tensioner if anyone has one, for a non power steering model

 

[Belly93]

In regards to the hubs im going to use my 1l coilpack hubs i test fitted on the k10 shafts and fitted well, thats if your still using the k10 box

 

[pork]

Yeah, still using k10 4 speed for now lol

 

[Belly93]

thats what mine is

 

[jamier2007]

I got the k10 1.2 as it goes straight in. And it was only £40

 

[pork]

Fitted k11 brakes today

What a pain in the ass!

First issue, my k10 shafts are to small on the hub side (k10 are green, not that you can see size difference on pic)

So here's everything I needed for k11 brakes

K11 wishbones
K11 calipers
K11 hubs
K11 track rod ends
K11 drive shafts
K11 discs

And voila, k11 brake setup

Only got one side done as the other shafts thread needs cutting as I dropped it and messed it up

See how these work, if no good, I can now upgrade to gtir

 

[Belly93]

how much shorter is the k10 shafts?

 

[pork]

Only a smidge (technical term)

Il have to see how it affects camber when it's on it's wheels again

 

[Belly93]

so you could probably use them?

 

[MicrAde]

Looking good Neil

 

[jamier2007]

Its weird cos my k10 ma10 shafts are fine with my k11 hubs. Maybe because mines a facelift?

 

[pork]

so you could probably use them?

I'm using them, needed to as the k10 ball joints don't fit the k11 hubs,

 

[pork]

Yeah, mines a really old one lol, must off changed it somewhere along the line

 

[Belly93]

I'm using them, needed to as the k10 ball joints don't fit the k11 hubs,

how does the ball joint size affect the shafts?
