Haha that gave me a good laugh. A lot of good progress you've got there

 

A question for you technically minded guys regarding my XSi, if you don't mind...

If I reverse out of my driveway or a parking space and then select first gear to pull away, just after I start moving forwards I sometimes hear a faint clunk or knock which seems to come from my passenger side front, or the drivers side to you LHD guys.

The noise only occurs the once, and only if I've just come from reverse into a forward gear. If I stop at some traffic lights and then pull away as they turn green, it doesn't do it. As I'm driving along normally in traffic etc, I don't hear anything untoward.


Any idea as to what it might be? Possibly the passenger side drive shaft on it's way out?

 

I'd try to "wiggle test" everything you can get your hand on in there. Without actually seeing or hearing the problem first hand, my first thoughts are axle or caliper.

 

Best wheels on the car so far, lovin it

 

Yeah, I'll whip the passenger side wheel off tomorrow and have a look. I haven't touched the brakes since I've had the car, but I'll certainly look at the caliper.

I'm kinda thinking axle (drive shaft), but I hope it's something simple.


Thanks for the reply mate.

 

nice da's ppl ima post mine soon

 

anyone in here try the aermotive 340 stealth pump? there is no app for the da go figure, just wondering if anyone tried? if so what inlet style did you get? thanks JJ

 

^ whats up JJ. I had the black ef you came to look at a long time ago to trade for that dsm you had. You're DA is sick, its given me motivation for mine!



Does anyone know how to get the trim off around the windshield?

 

My Black XSi has done this too. Ended up being the lower control arm bolts. Had to torque them to specs. take note this happened after i installed my cusco lower tie bar.

although, now there's another noise . a chirping noise can be heard when i drive over dips on the road.. i think my revo tech upper control arm ball joint is worn. agggh. such a pain. i've checked everything and seems alright. :S.

here's a recent pic of my other project. she's comming along nicely. it's also for sale. i miss driving my other tegs. ..

 

Thanks dude, I thought you said you didnt like it back them? could be wrong lol but yeah i try my best, I dont really think its that great but i get alot of compliments, I should put updated pics up havent in a while

 

yes, quit slacking and post updates!! by the way, as to your message you sent me on fb... i def want it! just let me get the money together here

 

Yea, where you been!!?

 

Thanks very much for the input, do you know what the torque settings are for those bolts? If it's something that simple it would make my day. I've not installed any tie bars or anything, the only thing I've done over the last few hundred KMs is fit my coilovers...

Sorry to hear about your odd noise problems I've also got another noise and I was wondering what the heck it was, so I turned full left hand lock to have a look - part of my plastic engine side-cover-thing has somehow come adrift and is now hanging on just one slightly loose bolt. It's has been bouncing off and rubbing against my passeneger side drive shaft... it now has a perfectly ground-out semi-circle shape carved into it


So you've lost interest in Teg no.3 then? Are there any interesting Japanese market bits on it?

 

When I saw your DA I think it was under a cover or something, I forget what it looks like then, but I def like it now. I'm shooting for 400whp for my build. I have a build threat on TST I keep updated, I slack on every other forum.

 

i miss my old da

 

looks HELLA photoshopped lol

 

hahah yeah it does.

 

come on now. ive never seen a da tuck rim. i did chop it haha. i honestly though it was a good chop
