    50 psi man isn't it to risky? As I know most of the tires are made to be handling maximum of 50 psi and the mor the pressure the mor it gain heat and faster so it's easier to explode I think 45 will be les risk and the tire will be hard enough! Don't you think so?

    Nothing happened other than some drifting happened haha. No tyre exploded or set on fire or killed kittens :p So 50 is legit. We used to daily 60psi aswell.

    Thanks for the comments guys nearly got my rear subframe off... Till the misses rang to say somethings wrong with her car...

    So I have all the bolts apart from the propshaft bolts and the brake lines and I'm guessing the handbrake.... I'll post some pictures later...

    I have no idea how to get the lines off...

    Misses is eyeing up my coiloves as well so might be getting some more
    For the tourer

    If you mean the rear ones dude I'm not too sure as the 316 only has hubs on the back :\ the tourer has disks at the rear so ill let you know what they are like tomorrow as she is stealing my coilovers... And then ill be ordering some more for the coupe when I sell this shitroen :)

    i think i know how to get this off but any one wants to inform me of the right way before i smash it off is more than welcome to tell me :)

    also is this the handbrake cable ? and how the hell do i take this off :/ ... ?

    [​IMG]

    thanks for reading every one im pretty sure ill actually do some decent updates when i get this subframe off like actually weld the diff and try to drift it... with lots of psi in the tyres :/

    you can all have a good laugh at me in my 1.6 trying to not spin out

    Little propane torch on the top of that brake line fitting nut, get it nice and hot and try and avoid the rubber line below, then use good vice grips if you have rounded the nut. Works 90% of the time for me and saves you butchering the hard line.

    Handbrake cable needs disconnected from inside the drum or the disc, they can seize in the hub and be a real pain, long punch helps get em out.

    Looks like from mine any way that they have separate lines buddy but I think some may be different :\


    So I ended up snapping the brakes as they are shagged anyways :( still trying to get the handbrake cable off... I stripped the shoes back ill refurb them... But still not sure how to get the cable off... Do I undo it from the actual handle ???
    Bloody thing is annoying the crap out of me... Got a few house jobs done then decided to make the shed into a spray booth for odd jobs... Currently trying to make a bucket seat back to normal cutting up foam but my son is pissed off saying its his bed :\ 3 year olds are crazy

    If you want it out of the drum then you need to disconnect it from the bit inside the drum, then need to smash the fuck out of it as it will defiantly be siezed in the back plate.
    That's why most people just disconnect it from the handbrake lever and pull the cables out the car and leave them in the hubs.
