Hi all

Would like to introduce myself and my car!

My name is Lewis, can be found around the Surrey and Hants area.

Having sold my pre-face Civic type R EP3, I Picked up my 97 Rev 3 in silver with Black top a couple of weekends back.

All good fun so far,Had my first "incident" this morning, which was good.

Came over the brow of a hill into a sharp left hand turn, the front went light and combination of a little to much power and a slightly damp road resulted in me just about catching the slide, but over correcting and smashing my off side rear wheel streight into a Kerb. Nice.

No major damage as far as I can tell, apart from a quite badly scuffed alloy.

Does anyone have any ideas of what to look for or if I should get it checked out just to be on the safe side?

Also, im getting an intermittant steering "wobble" at 70mph, I would have thought this was a warped disk as the offside front alloy is getting very hot, however as its intermittant im wondering if its a combination of a warped disk and sticky caliper, or just one of the above?

Anyway, looking forward to getting to know all of you and my new Mr Two!

Any help, let me know

Cheers

Lewis

Welcome to the club

Im sure someone will be along soon, who can offer you some advice

Hi mate, thanks

Will get my fronts balanced this weekend, would a Caliper re-furb kit do the job?

Any should I be too worried about the rear after battering it this morning, anything i should keep my eye on?

welcome aboard mate, +! on what topgun say's, take your car to any garage that offers tyre changes and ask them to balance your wheels, only takes 5 mins to add a couple of weights to get it running smoothly

sounds like you own a sonic shadow...very nice, get some pics up for us all

Cheers Guys!

Or is that a total noob question!?

depending on how hard you hit the curb you could cause damage to the suspension arm. Best to get it checked out. If the wheel wobble started after you made contact with the wheel then it could be causing it as well.

+1 on the sticky calipers - I replaced two last week

They do look spangly

Wish i had that kind of cash knocking about!!

Anyone have any idea on the celica rims?

Welcome to the club, get some pics up mate
