RobSheffield Posted July 24, 2007 Share Posted July 24, 2007 Very odd, they look a bit like my old pro performers. No names on them at all? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobSheffield Posted July 24, 2007 Share Posted July 24, 2007 The rears look different, they have the same 'helper spring' i think its called that my pro performers have. they dont look much like my hipers, but i guess they could be the new model, lets wait til Nic sees this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nic Posted July 24, 2007 Share Posted July 24, 2007 I don't recognise them, you're right though Rob they look a higher spec than the Hypermax, more Performer spec, they are definitely not the current Performer model though. Don't think they are a current or recent model from what I can tell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobSheffield Posted July 24, 2007 Share Posted July 24, 2007 If it helps at all, here is a pic of my old pro performers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest goldcrest Posted July 24, 2007 Share Posted July 24, 2007 Hi and thanks for the replies so far I to thought they might be a bit old but the condition is brill and what I see is RobSheffield shocks has the same valve what are you supposed to do put in air if so how much I ain't got a blooxy clue again your help is most appreciated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
absz Posted July 24, 2007 Share Posted July 24, 2007 they DO NOT HAVE AIR pump in them, its nitrogen that is used in the shocks. but do not attempt to check the pressure using a normal tyre pressure gauge as you will loose all pressure within seconds. i have hypermax 11 fitted to my car and the pressure in them is 70psi but i have not as yet found any data to confirm the correct pressures.

Guest goldcrest Posted July 25, 2007 Share Posted July 25, 2007 the valve on one of them is not tight so does that mean they are useless then if so Ive been sold a pile of sh*t Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supra steveo Posted July 25, 2007 Share Posted July 25, 2007 leave the valve mate if you are going to get them gassed then id take them to someone who knows what they are doing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest goldcrest Posted July 25, 2007 Share Posted July 25, 2007 Thanks mate but yet again im in the dark any Ideas of where I could get them regased and how much do I put in I paid over five hundred quids for these and unless I find someone that can do it im in the deep smelly brown stuff Its my own fault I rushed into this without doing any research help if you can pls guys but cheers for all the info so far Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wilson Posted July 25, 2007 Share Posted July 25, 2007 I can re gas these, but that assumes they have no other faults / leaks. If so they are almost certainly not cost effectively repairable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
absz Posted July 25, 2007 Share Posted July 25, 2007 the valve on one of them is not tight so does that mean they are useless then if so Ive been sold a pile of sh*t Is it the valve it self that is loose or just the dust cap ? you have two choices: 1/have them fitted then check handling/cornering or 2/ send them to someone like chris wilson to have them checked over.

Guest goldcrest Posted November 1, 2007 Share Posted November 1, 2007 Hi all and many thanks to those who replied to me sorry for not being around for a while had a few domestic issues to deal with Chris you say you can regas them but I cant afford to send them all the way up to you as I live near Brighton. I've found a tyre place that has a nitrogen compressor they are happy to pump them up but again I'm not sure of the pressure they run I know I'm totally useless with this kinda thing but I dont know where to get the info from sorry I hope some one can help as I'm skint and at the moment working on my car is the only escape from my probs but enough about that cheers guys your a great bunch of people and I know if you can help ye will do Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
