i think this would be a good idea, i would like to pay my respects, post some dates and times and ill be there!

im sorry i thought it was clear but obviously not, i was thinking this sunday @ 7:30 leave from City

there hasnt been a very good responce to this so not sure about it now :S

i thought it would be good for all the ppls that were on the sunday cruise of the 21st of may to go and just hear a few words from my self about the incident then we can go do wotever after obviously cause Tony wasnt a skyline driver it doesnt really mater

sorry if that sounds harsh but i know if it was Drew we lost every1 would put there hand up to come so i dont see why we cant go for Tony

** EDIT **

see if we had a good turnout i was going to ring the channel seven news and tell them Skyline Australia was holding a memorial drive down to the beach in Tony's honor to pay our respects...

It sort of depends on the time as my mate is driving to mallala but if you guys are heading out there I would probibly come down for a little while and head out with you.

I found out today that my dad taught Tony last year

nah out the other side of town now he was out there for a long time 25yrs. he may have had him a couple of years ago he only said it in passing tonight.

Has anyone else been added to the list? As i'm still unsure what my plans are I will find out tomorrow night and then give you a answer then. As i said before if i do attend i will probably meet you guys down there.

Madaz,

Don't be disheartened.

Do remember every one handles incidents such as these differently + the 'church' thing may scare a few people away. :rofl:

Myself. Church doesn’t faze me as I've been brought up through Catholic primary and secondary with an Italian background so there are some very strong religious ties there.

However I'm not overly religious, My problem is I think and question too much.

Either way I won’t be able to make it as it’s too early for the little man; I have to head out to relatives later in the day so I don’t want the little man turning in to a little monster. :ban:

A thought for those that the incident has directly affected, why not head out to the crash site and drop a few flowers, sit and have a good look in an attempt to get over what you have recently been through.

I really don't believe because Tony wasn't a skyline driver people don't care; people do care and feel saddened that some one has lost their life, however they don't know him directly or have met him so instead they simply move on and try not to dwell as dwelling only brings more sadness.

sum good points u raised cubes

as stated in orriginal post i didnt want any1 to feel presuered about the church option but .. i dunno u know wot i ment cubes... even if it is too early and maybee jsut a road side looking is all ppls want to do

1 problem with going to the crash site is there really isnt any room to park and get out and survey the situation without being on the road as there is barriers 1 side ot the road and raised shoulder on the other

      After market rear camber arm adjustment

      By Duncan · Posted

      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.
