@inkmaster6271 cable related not clutch at all. Look at the throttle arm that moves when you pull the cable. I bet it's way open right now, likely not resting right under the carb or is pinched somewhere along the routing from throttle to carb. Also, if the carb gums up then it'll keep itself open.
@@JChurchua yeah i thought that too i diconnected the throttle and started it and it was still revving extremly high weird i think im just gonna install a new motor
I just bought myself a Seat Leon 1m 20vt4 (Same platform as the mk4 golf, PQ34, but with a Haldex "4-wheel drive" system) and it has too much surface rust and a bit too much bodge repairs to make it look good. Was thinking about maybe doing a lift with crash bar, aux lighting, roof racks and a spare wheel on a contraption at the rear. When you fit the springs on the front shocks did you also have to fit a shaft extender? It feels like it would "bottom out" but in the top part if you have to compress the spring too much. Since mine's 4 wheel drive I'm going to have to figure something out for the rear, but I did see someone here who did it on a mk4 R32 so I might have ideas for that.
the whole clutch assembly? smacking it with a hammer to dislodge it from the shaft. You can see me fo that in the video and can probably slow it down by 2x for a better view. once the bolt is removed the only thing holding it in is pressure or oxidization.. A solid smack downward should dislodge it.
@@JChurchua ok is how do I connect all the spring pieces back together I’m doing it right. With a piece of wood I’m installing the connecting pieces inside the motor there were it turns , I don’t see a screw that comes out
@@yanishameesh7965 connect the pads/springs and then force them onto the triangle center. Its actually easy once you do it, but i get being alil nervous about hurting it. i think i set it on the ground and stood on it. that expanded the springs, aligning the pads and slipped right in for a finished assembly.
@@JChurchua my thing is how do u get the triangle part out.? That idk how I’m to Scared to do it to brk it I have a Home Depot hammer and don’t want to brk the triangle it’s stil in the motor .
Hard to answer that. go google "tdiclub ghetto mod rear air shocks" I followed that DIY, i routed the shrader valve into the gas cap area. Fairly easy to do, 100% worth it. 40-50psi is the sweet spot.
I just did the jeep lift on my 03 beetle, I used the stock struts and rear shocks, got to say it looks good but it's hard as a rock, if some shorter or softer shocks were found for the fronts, then you can fit the stock front shocks in the rear, this will allow about an 1.5" sag so at least you have some travel. As the front was maxed out I went ahead and put the Cherokee shocks on the rear, now it's level but about the only travel is in the tires. One other helpful hint for this, when doing the rear, do both sides at once, having bothe shocks disconnected will allow the rear axle to swing down a bit more freely
I suggest replacing the struts with bilstein B6s or similar, since they have longer travel. Rears as well, the F150 rear shocks provide a lot of travel. I used all new springs and struts/shocks, definitely stiff to begin with but broke in and rides really well. Having the stock shocks will make them over extend regularly and eventualy bust id assume.
Oh, man we have all been there, but what a bummer of a time to have it stop running! I'm in the middle of a GTR clutch replacement now. Thanks for the videos!
Liked your video. I have subscribed and would like to see more. Have a great weekend. I have also been to CastleRock as well. Been to many places here in Colorado since i moved here. Beautiful state, and So much to see and do. 😊
Loved it!. My first ever to see the Pikes Peak race. Amazing video. Angie from eastern North Carolina but live in Colorado now. Hope you have a Wonderful weekend my new friend. Going to subscribe as well..😊🤗💯❤️👑🏎👑❤️💯🤗😊
QUESTION: at 0:55 you said the top of the spring is too big ... and others used a torch to melt the spring to bend it smaller ... and you didn't, so what DID you do to get that Jeep spring to fit the rear?
Still around and car is still running and drives oh so smooth. RU-vidz doesnt always send me notifications though... So, if you are familiar, the rear top is a bump or "nipple" hanging down that captures the rubber mount/top ring of the spring. I left the oversized diameter top ring as is, oem, untorched and let it "settle wherever it wants..." to be honest i havent looked at it in ages... But it rides well so i assume it is still within the nipple.. lol
This is inspiring cos I just applied "jb weld" on a crack in my oil pan from too many rocks. It's all scarred up under there! So I hope you're still answering qustions!
Id suggest replacing the pan and then getting a "panzer plate" or similar metal shield. Much cheaper than replacing a motor! lol. Its definitely a fun vehicle and gets tons of looks.
Think of it more as a Mazda B2200... So, ARB is a more known company than Ironman. Practically the same product, slightly different quality differences. The concept is, its close enough. Thanks for your comment, glad your only issue is that I mislabeled the brand on an identicle product. 👍 (ARB room and Ironman room are interchangable, either one will work with either one's awning-swappable)
@@JChurchua Yeah man honestly though people are usually pretty cool with my peds. It's just the odd one throwing middle finger. Or thumbs down. But most thumbs up lol
Just got tickets for 2023, and its my first time planning it out. Im not planning on camping at pikes peak so do you happen to know what the best time to show is to get a parking spot? I've heard be there as early as 3am? Ski area is where I'm planing on setting up. Looks like so much fun, been wanting to go for years!
