went today to offer LTHL some "support"....

as always pretty crappy.. nothing really outstanding.. except for all the fully sick fluro shirts and crazy hairstyles... some people should be shot.

I did like the bikes though.

Went today.. while down melbourne for the weekend.

Must say, was missing cars, no GT-R's. A few GTS-T.

The 180 made a new record. 251kw/ltr.

and overall hp too.

Saw the Supra on the dyno. 726.1KW? I think. Below last years. He made 749KW last year?

STEVEM's S15 was very nice.

The gold plated turbos in the QSR BMW was big. The car took away more then 8 Trophies.

Overall, lacked in girls and cars.

Bike display was low too. There were more parked outside of the centre then inside.

Ah well... see what happens...

Whens the finals?

Saw LTHL's car and looked around for the owner but couldnt find him. Was gonna introduce myself after seeing the SAU stickers.

My fav car was probably a blueish 180. Looked insane. The guy went all out as well. The words 180 and Nissan were all over the car. He even managed to get the word "nissan" in the middle of his subwoofer. Very nice.

Was hoping to see more skylines. Saw both the holder and the supra dyno runs. Pretty damn crazy.

Well the bikes were more than last year, of which there were none :(

So the bikes that were there actually caught my eye quite well.

Was a good addition

Finals are Nov

yeah was my first AS in a couple years and i found the standard was really awesome.

Couple cars that stood out was the

Series 5 RX7 with the supra abflug kit, looked awesome. As well as the ABFlug supra sitting next to it with the airbrushing (tasteful airbrushing)

The baby blue wrx with suicide doors and hydraulics...

And the new Euroline car club made a good impression at the entrance.

Seemed to me a lot less rice and more performance than 2 years ago when I went last.

Euroline Automotive was a trade stand, they do bodykits / custom paint jobs etc..

But yes they had a good set up.

My friends Blue Kitted RX8 was with their stand.

      After market rear camber arm adjustment

      By V35Newbie · Posted

      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.

      Continental have consistently beaten the absolute shit out of every other performance tyre in Wet/Damp/Cold conditions and give up a little bit of time (half a second at most) in the dry. Almost like it's engineered for German conditions or something. I'd def give those a try.
