Sweet I might try and get mine looking nice ad driving right :)

* Talking about Auto Salon

Anybody going to enter the Circuit Battle?

I was thinking about it but wasnt sure if they will select me as I dont think they will like Near Stock GTST's.

Autosalon is a great event.. some people dont like it because its much of the same .. well... I dont know ive been going for years.. I love it.

You do see some cars that you spotted the year before but 99% of the time they have new bits hanging off them!! Or new stickers *BlinG* Its just a fun day and its great for the club!

Join up and show off your ride!

I just found that the cars were plain as, you see better cars on the roads.

Last year there was a GTT there that was auto and totally stock and looked like shit.

whats the point it being there? my car is better?

I've enjoyed some of the previous events as well but have noticed a trend for most of the cars to down the blinged up/big chrome rims route which isn't really to my tastes. *Sometimes* I've noticed better cars out in the carpark! Still there's always a few surprises to be had.

    • Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber
    • I know I have to get a wheel alignment but until then I just need to bring the rear tyres in a bit they're wearing to the belt on the inside and brand new on the outside edge. I did shorten the arms a bit but got it wrong now after a few klms the Slip and VDC lights come on. I'd just like to get it to a point where I can drive for another week or two before getting an alignment. I've had to pay a lot of other stuff recently so doing it myself is my only option 
    • You just need a wheel alignment after, so just set them to the same as current and drive to the shop. As there are 2 upper links it may also be worth adding adjustable upper front links at the same time; these reduce bump steer when you move the camber (note that setting those correctly takes a lot longer as you have to recheck the camber at each length of the toe arm, through a range of movement, so you could just ignore that unless the handling becomes unpredictable)
    • I got adjustable after market rear camber arm to replace the stock one's because got sick of having to buy new rear tyres every few months. Can anyone please let me know what the best adjustment length would be. I don't have the old ones anymore to get measurements. I'm guessing the stock measurement minus a few mm would do it. Please any help on replacing them would be fantastic I've watched the YouTube clips but no-one talks about how long to set the camber arm to.
    • Heh. I copied the link to the video direct, instead of the thread I mentioned. But the video is the main value content anyway. Otherwise, yes, in Europe, surely you'd be expected to buy local. Being whichever flavour of Michelin, Continental or Pirelli suits your usage model.
