yeah you want the car on the ground to check alignment. up on stands is no good. obviously you can jack it up to adjust, but must be on flat ground again to re-check.

oh yeah for sure. what i'm getting at is if you would need to roll back (e.g. 10m) then roll forward to allow all the tyres/suspension to 'seat' then check again. right?

How about using a simple clinometer for camber measurement? Autospeed states the ones picture cost $15 from a marine store, you could bolt it to a length along the side and just rest it against your wheel (maybe with a right angle at the bottom to sit it on the ground).

Hows it go on the race track lauren, ours sucks (although we snuck home 3rd behind 2 race cars at the road event the other day). too much understeer

Its fun at motorkhanas though..... http://www.hgeconsulting.com.au/khanazed.wmv

I actually find it a struggle on the tighter motorkhana courses (although you seem to make it look effortless) but the more open courses I seem do quite well in. I've only been participating in motorkhana and circuit for last three months so i still have a LOT to learn. It's a bit of fun anyway it wouldnt be a car i would use if i wanted to be ultra competitive no haha.

Oran Park. 2 sprint races on the sat, and a sprint and a 1hr enduro on the sunday.....hopefully we can last an hour on a tank of fuel this time, last time we had to retired about 4 min from the end

Go the open fuel filler :cool:

paint job looks shmiko on the track, and that balaclarva makes you look very stig like.

Yer just noticed that as well, need to get that looked at. That corner although its doesnt look like it it has about 18 degree of banking have not seen a pic of that corner before, little surprised that the suspension is compressed that far.

heres mine!

spec wise: its got the normal gear power wise 350hp @ 16psi, i've been more focus on suspension and brakes ---> 90% of my suspension arm have been replace with nismo items, got nismo swaybar F&R, aftermarket tierods and castor rods, current has d2 coilovers but waiting for my TEIN RA-spec to arrived (damper and rebound adjustable with 10kg spring rate F&R)... my clutch has just failed so twin plate is on the way, ohh yeah running ap caliper up the front with larger disc.

im pretty much happy with the car atm, just need an lsd and it will be perfect

nothing too special atm, as it was a daily driver but i have since got a nice daily which cost me $20 a week in fuel :thumbsup: so its getting the full track treatment in the near future... cage, stripped inside etc etc

Ok, so it's not mine, but Jason the owner and I built it, and I get to sit in the silly side :/ No pics of the engine out/suspension etc unfortunately. It's just built to CAMS Tarmac specs. But we wanted a stereo and the aircon still :D

    • I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.
    • My Nismo 1.5 churps a bit on reverse turns when cold, but besides that feels like a stock diff.
    • Yes, but, I paid cash and I'm pretty sure the receipt was in the bin 10 minutes after I got home Note to self, keep all receipts
    • Bunnings would have just handed you your money back on that one!
    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
