So today Jessica, (my mk3) decides to let me know what is wrong by ...

[Woppit]

producing a load of slop in the o/s drive shaft, Collapsing a wheel bearing the the o/s, then to add insult to injury totally snaps the rear engine mount!!! All because i beefed up the 1.4 then dropped it 30mm rear 44mm front!!!!  FML

[Bellend]

Hub nut all tight?

How have you "beefed up" the 1.4?

What have done to beef it up then.

[MrAnderson93]

slapped a sunday roast on the rocker cover? 

yeah i second the hub nut

[Woppit]

hi guys, the hub nut came loose last month, so i tightened it, this time its still tight, and as for what i have done, not a lot reayy adv the timeing a tad, given it a pure cold air feed and got fairly large tyres ont it which have changed the end ratio a *bit*
one thing that has piqued my curiosity though, i lower it and suddenly @60mph im doing 2600rpm in 5th instead of 2850rpm... i can only think its wind resistance doing this?

[Woppit]

HAHAHAHA chuff, i see what made you laugh, 
ill clarify, the big wheels were on there before i lovered it and before the change in rpm ... lol

[JC]

to be fair, unless you have a digital  rev counter your arent going to be that exact when reading 2850 .

did you have it properly aligned after the drop ? if yes then that could explain it, as you are now running straight n true

as for wind resistance  . . . . . . . . .
