lol Troy, agree with you about doing more laps in my car.. however I have my own theories as to why I was only 1 second slower than u at Sandown... something to do with not driving it on the limit and also a bent lower ball joint :laugh: at PI I had all sorts of issues, and it was my first time there (only did 4 laps). The car is actually quite nice to drive, just need more time behind the wheels to tweak the setup. I may have slightly more power than you (i don't think it's 80kw!), but also more weight.. Hopefully everything with the car is sorted (my ABS is now fixed too! woot) and we can have some more fun :laugh:

Good stuff Matt. I was just guessing that you would be up around the 300rwkws mark. My thing was only running 230rwkws odd at Sandown...though it feels damn strong at that boost. Stronger then it ever has actually...if only my suspension was up to the job of 230rwkws, i have ot drive angry otherwise the car just wont do it :laugh:

And Snowie, we cant beat you guys. But it would be nice to see some lap times beign punched out within cooee of you guys.

But point is...you cant beat going round and round...so will be good to see the EVOs out there mixing it up with Roy

Hehe - I'm only stirring. Mind you last weekend at Sandown there was a 400oddKW Supra on semi's that managed a best time of 1.23.9. It sure was a rocket down the straights. Most laps were in the 24's, 25's. It shows that the time you punched out already is quite impressive.

I was running around 280kw at Sandown.

hahaha *cough* bullshit *cough* :)

Oi Troy you Victorian bitch, you're such a Victorian Victorian that you make Victorian's born in Victorian look less Victorian than you're super Victorian Victorian self. GO VICTORIA! w00t

LOL classic post Adz :fakenopic: Gonna grab the popcorn for this one!

If i was overseas and heard something being described as Victorian, well i think mid 1800s, virginal white dresses and umbrellas and elegant old homes. So im not a very good fit for being Victorian :)

I dunno mate :)

snowbrown, I just injured myself laughing you bastard. I may even need a day off work. I wonder if it counts as a work related injury. I think I somehow broke my colar bone.

    • 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.
