Went and saw Laurie down at Bridgestone in the city.

First time in, got the car put up and was told it didnt need a wheel alignment, but they didnt have time to check the rest of the suspension - NO CHARGE

In for the rest of the suspension checked (ride hight, fine tune camber, etc), well at first things were a bit slow, Laurie was busy on the phone. Then, when the car goes on the hoist, out comes the pizza 'here you go mate, fill your boots or it just goes in the bin', then comes out the coke, same thing.

Fine adjustment of alignment, check ride height, reset rear sway bar, and we went for a drive - I though the problem was in the rear - Laurie disagreed, 'you need to tighten up the front sway bar'. Back on the hoist, adjust front sway bar (involved a bit of work). Off hoist then I took the car for a drive - and now she handles 100 times better - its bloody awesome!

I whip out the wallet - Laurie charges me just $35 for a wheel alignment - THE MAN IS AWESOME

Just had to put in a good word, this is the best bloody service I have ever had of anybody - and I'm not young!

MUST also say a big thanks to Clint32 for hooking me up with some really cheap whiteline gear, what a top aussie bloke

Sorry if you guys think I have been wasting your time by posting this, but I just had to let as many people know, whoever is after suspension tuning - speak to Laurie!

PS Friday arvo is the time to go if you want the pizza:D

Yeah, he is usually pretty busy, but I dont think he will mind if you ask for him. The more people tell him that they are from the same place, the more likely he is to treat us kind as a whole. Though from what I could tell, they were pretty customer oriented all round, not just Laurie.

    • I don't care for these at all, but at least the underside looks straight and not rusty. A good basis for a long life. Many cars from Japan have been lifted with forklifts and f**ked almost irrepairably.
    • Yes, but it's not dumb or dodgy. You can build a perfectly good boost controller from a pressure reg, a relief valve (looks same same as a reg if all from Norgren or SMC, for example) and a check valve. I ran one for years. Only superceded with  EBC because I could get one for cheaps and wanted finer control.   THis mod is certainly not a sketchy boost mod, provided the boost is kept below the "spin to death" threshold of the turbos.
    • With ordering the belt, you're doing water pump and the idler and tensioner at the same time too yes?
    • This is just a dumb way of keeping the wastegate closed to make more boost. Undo it and either follow the factory setup or redo it properly. Manual boost controllers just use a spring preload to determine when to close in response to boost pressure so it no longer vents to atmosphere.
    • So for the wide band is a Bosch 4.9 correct for the Link G4+ along with a Can bus? Just get the Link gear or is generic ok too? Eg here: LINK LINK DIGITAL WIDEBAND CAN MODULE WITH BOSCH 4.9 SENSOR : KYP Performance House
