I think I got a diff for my 18th.

Haha thats pretty sick.. i dont even think i got anything for my 18th.. cheap arse parents.. *grumbles*

my 20th was better then my 18th.. how lame am i!

An 'experience' as opposed to a 'present' is good if you don't want anything in particular... ie: harbour bridge climb, skydiving, paintball with all your friends, swimming with dolphins or sharks etc... something you will always remember rather than something that you think is a good gift now but in a few years is boring...

Although - the tools is a great idea (as long as they're not cheap ass super cheap auto brand or something equally crappy!).

I turn 18 in Feb, whatever I'm getting is a 'suprise'.

I don't know what I really want anyway. One of those Jason Lay-Z-Boy recliners would go down pretty sweet as a computer chair though.

One I saw had a fridge and stuff in the hand rest. ^_^

I guess an unrestricted license would be cool, but unfortunately no one who I know who works at the RTA is willing to make that the best 18th birthday present ever.

Do you like car magazines? Get someone to hook you up with a yearly subscription?

Money is probably the best one though. Behind the recliner chair.

Maybe you can get yourself pack of "pull up" nappys instead of traditional ones as you are BIG kid now! :);):O:kiss::wub:

Sorry man I couldn't resist.

I got myself money.. went to the casino with $150 walked out with $900.. Probably could have done better.. but I've never seen that much money before, know when to quit :O

the cheapest blow up doll you can buy in an adult store. trust me, it'll be f**kin hilarious. especially when you blow her up and everyone plays basketball with it. :)

By basketball you mean hide the sausage right?

Tools are an awesome idea. I got a nice set of tools for my 18th.

Before that, I used to keep banging my hands, wrecking bolts. I never used to think it mattered.

Now, if I dont' have the right tool, i either buy it, or pay someone else to do the job.

Oh, I also got a GF for my bday. I know that's not something that you can ask for. lol. But it really makes your day.

I knew a bunch of tools, but I don't hang around them anymore... No wait, you're talking about spanners, screwdrivers and stuff like that, right? Yeah, they're definitely a good idea! :)

And if you got a girlfriend on your birthday, and it really made your day, what did you do the next day? :P:O:ninja:

    • 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.
