    What have you done with your pulsar today?

    been running my old astra 1.7d on the std pulsar wheels with toyo tr1`s, thought i should get some use out of em, think they were out of date as the rubber was a bit slippy stiff, good burnout might have revived em , but astra wasnt up for that

    Steering rack removal

    Steering rack removal

    managed to get the 2 rack seals from nissan £20! hopefully will be ok re-using all the other bits. Looks a bit of a nightmare resetting the pre-load on the rack, dont have the correct torque wrench, may just try to leave same number of threads sticking out, or count the turns to undo

    Steering rack removal

    So I eventually got the rack out, you have to remove both track rods (not just the ends), then lower the gearbox side of the engine about 3-4". move the rack as far to the driver side as possible , then lift the passanger side of the rack between the gap of gearbox and rear engine...

    took it out today for 1.2 bar run.

After driving a 1.8 diesel focus for 4 years. And the noise (Fuijitsubo cat back) not...
