LOL! Thanks mate. Anyone know what the white stuff is straight after the hand brake turn? I have been chatting to Paul R33 but dont know whether it is rings or clutch. The clutch was completely out at that point with foot flat on the accelerator.

Well i think that topped off yet another Great DECA.. I Firstly have to say a Huge thanx to Chris for letting me run with his semi's on the rear they made a HUGE difference and i have a new found love for them...

Thanx to all the officials and of course those who again did a fantastic job of making the whole event successful.

Thanx to Ray for getting my car ready for the event.

And also thank to Jarrod, Mel, Min, Chris, Bec, Simon for helping me on the way home. Cheers Ryan and bec for waiting with me and HUGE THANX to jack for again coming and saving my ass :mellow:......

The running of these days are getting pretty much flawless, or at least the club is doing such a great job that no one would even know if things weren't running well. Even running a bit behind and slightly changing the schedule goes smoothly! Thanks to the usual suspects who helped organise and run the day (club and officials).

Have done every single one of these things now in the taxi (even if the colour did change hehe) and they've all been top fun. My only problem now is after having driven an evo around the pan, I think I'm ready to hang up the sideways antics (or bad attempts at sideways antics). Team Evo ftw!

Finally a big thanks to the President James for letting me run around in his Stock Cheater Evo. Straight out of the box they are an impressive machine and once you understand them damn easy to drive fast.

Have to agree completely there Snowy. Drove Fooey's in one of the morning sessions and while I know it was still quick, wasn't that impressed other than the steering feel and response of the car. But a later attempt in the afternoon "funtime" session using some suggested driving changes and well....f**k me!!! brake, turn in and punch it at the right time and it's almost like the moment you accelerated it latched onto a couple rails and just got on with business! (thanks heaps fooey)

As usual, don't need to see the results but bring on the videos! :mellow:

Wow mate, I was driving the #20 WRX (Dark Blue) and damn, that video footage blew me away! It didn't seem that fast when I was driving, but it gave me a really good idea of how the car was leaning/sliding around so I might be able to improve it a bit next time! Thank you.

Also, additional thanks to EVERYONE involved in the organisation - top entertainment during the day and just as good fun of the night :D Thank you all...

Now... where is my checkbook? I need one of them Evo thingamajigs

      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.
