Ha, I'm going to get those tuff clamps from just jap to enclose that massive 1.25 bar of BOOOOOOst psi!!!

It gave me the s$%ts.

Yeah, run quicker than 12sec now and you need andra license $120, I'm sure.

lol

the nanny state mentality has extended to WSID- 'snot like an 11.whatever second car is all that hard to pilot in a straight line on dead flat road, especially an AWD one :laugh:

The super street license is an ANDRA regulation - it's got nothing to do with WSID and the same rules apply at any ANDRA compliant drag strip in the country :)

Sorry for my ignorance of the situation

But it still begs the question- Has there been some sort of proliferation of incidents involving 11 second cars?

(answer = no)

Seems like a way to generate revenue to me.

From what I have been told, when you hold the Andra licence there are certain regulations on top of what others have, that you then must abide by also, or you cannot run at the track again.

The extra regulations are all involved with safety aspects in the car etc.

And yes, there have been incidents over the years where people have lost control of cars, whether they be the high end dragsters/funny cars, or road cars, there have been accidents in all, and the severity seems to increase dramatically once you pass under around a 12.5second 1/4 mile.

:) hello guys i own the black one, i ran 11.86 then 11.87 and got told anything from 11.99 down you have to get the licence and was told to get the licence or don't line up again, $ 120 for one more run, not worth it

i'll have to head out again, and use the tripod this time.

      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.
