1988 Vari-Ho - Same running issues return. *11.08.10*

LMAO @ the Elastoplasts!

Just be lighter on the loud pedal. It takes time to adjust to the constant-engine-note-but-still-accelerating phenomenon. Although I have to admit to resist the temptation of giving it some beans....

Its JDM scene-fusion dude.
And distracts quite well.
Dazzle cammoflauge for scratches.

Yeah, im gonna have to do a bit of vario practice man, im sure i'll have it down to a fine art in a few month.

Since i put the wellers on, there also seems to be a lot of new play in the steering.

You just forgot to tighten them

Nice to see you are rolling again

Weird. Play is play and I wouldn't expect different wheels to make difference.

[volvosneverdie]

Dunno man, maybe the steering was that heavy (and fook me was it) that it was disguising it?
Dunno, its there now though.

Doesnt bother me, steerings still assured once it 'engages' but theres a bit of slack there.

Didn't see this coming! Good buy and expert paint repair

[jtbo]

There is that rubber thing in steering shaft, vibration damper or something like that, it may cause some vague steering.

Surely steering rack could be problem too, but with 60k I doubt that. Steering rod ends, inner and outer?

And make sure your steering wheel is not loose, it's really shitty feeling when you hold steering wheel on air and try to make last second turn while seeing that SCANIA text coming closer unnatural fast

Youd really have to pull on a steering wheel to get it to come off even with no retaining nut!

My new wheel should hopefully be going on soon, so i'll have p check then.
