So looking at the SK pic, in standard trim, the subframe floats up and down on those mount points, and the pinapples fill a that gap.

If you get Aluminum ones, sound is tramitted through the frame.

For all round performance use the bottom ones (non split)

For drift tilt the diff back using btm front, top rear.

For drag tilt it forward using top front, btm rear.

"I have the otomotto kit and i have 2 large split and 2 small non split"

This would be a kit designed for drag then.

The whiteline doesnt have the scope for drift? and if you put all 4 budshes in the rear it is a marginal drift setup?

EDIT! The whiteline doesnt have the scope for drag?

couldn't remember if you had the pinapples or not but from memory your car was quiet, handled awsome and had the same firm ride in a straight line as mine with its standard springs and uprated shocks (on car when bought). Cheers for letting me know you did have them for our spin :thumbsup:

P.S. enjoying the job? had to do a couple of your call outs. Sick of being told "can't make it" yet?

Not so, you put the small split rings above the subframe at the rear and the large non split below the subframe at the front. This give max antisquat which reduces the rear end grip, making it the ideal setting for drift. It's the bottom left hand drawing in the instructions.

:thumbsup: Cheer :)

I have most definitely used the drag setting (maximum squat) on a few cars that I have worked on, as well as my own. The usual improvement in 60' times is 0.15 second from the subframe alignment.

That setting is the lower left in the instructions (maximum traction). With the small, split rings on top at the front and small, non split rings on the bottom at the rear.

:( cheers :)

most people i've spoken to using them in drift cars, go for either "All Round" or "grip"

As someone mentioned above, and has been confirmed with a few people i've spoken to who have used them in "drift" setup, they are stupidly slippery and becomes more of a hinderance than a benefit if the car is properly set up in the first place.

Any problems with understeer or problems loosing traction for drift should be overcomed using different wheels/tyres or different stabiliser bar settings.

      I don't know, I've never done it that way, but 1. While it is an interference engine, there is still clearance between the valves and the piston at all points in the regular timing cycle 2. There is not a lot of distance before you can't catch the top of the valve stem any more I don't know if 2 is greater or less than 1. But 3. If it doesn't work out you are f**ked, engine is coming out to disassemble so it is a big bet.

      Semi slicks are horrible for road use, just use a high performance road tyre unless you really need the maximum grip. Noisy, unpredictable (amazing, until they are not), expensive due to very high wear and not good in cold and particular wet. And yes, it is a thing to store cars on stands instead of tyres if you know they are going to be parked up long term.....but who ever realises that a short park is going to stretch into years before it is out again!

      I know in Australia you'll definitely get above 30c. Parked in the shade in Summer you'll be above that. 😛 But in cooler climates, you might get that warm driving on the highway for a bit, but you'd never get to full heat temp. I'll try and find some of my historical tyre temps between Aus summer and winter (be aware immin the warmer area of Aus too.)

      I get that taking off the head is best but that's a bit much for "just" valve seals. I was just under the impression that one would be able to rotate to TDC and be able to temporarily drop the valve without losing it and effectively having to remove the head to then recover it. I never knew people actually pushed rope into the cylinder to do valve seals hahaha So just to confirm, just going to TDC will not work? In that case I know when I do valve seals I'll maybe just remove the head and do some other things while I'm there, or just wait until I do an engine build.
