Most of it seems OK except rear camber. You need to even it up a bit more. Bit more castor wouldn't hurt and you probably want to even up the front camber. All the bushes can be bought from the Whiteline/Bilstein groupbuy.

I would probably run 0 toe on the front though. Wheel aligners set it up like that for tyre wear to offset the camber.

Here's the link to the groupbuy and SKs recommended wheel alignment settings

basically they gave you some front toe out (good thing) and the rear toe was f**ked before, but they have fixed it now. I would have preffered rear toe to be 0.00 and 0.00 but it's not too bad as is. I assume front camber is non-adjustable rear camber IS adjustable standard so they should have tried to even up the rear camber, even if it meant running 50 mins on the right to match the left, it's not bid deal. The front toe was also a bit out to start with, but it's good now. should feel quite nice.

I don't agree with what salad said about toe out being to save tire wear. if anything toe out increases tire wear, but it's great for steering response.

well the machine I used on saturday shows + as toe OUT.

but it would make sense in this case, as if it is toe out then it's a pretty 'racy' alignment and it will want to steer itself all over the road.

Hmm, odd, I've never seen a machine that has +ve as toe out, always toe in, but my experience is fairly limited, only used 2 machines before.

But yeah, it is unlikely that the run of the mill tyre store will set a car up with toe out (unless requested), always have toe in to offset camber wear. Those toe numbers look very typical and look a lot like what the wheel aligner at my work does (and why I dont listen to his suggestions of how to wheel align my car for track work)

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
