No pics tonight but will get some tomorrow... as for the specs, twin pipes all the way to the cat, custom made by Andrew at AM Performance, can't recommend him enough!

You got the AM hi flow cat as well? Getting shit all over the rear bar?

I went to Pearl Jam at war memorial drive tennis courts, what, 14yrs ago. Then thebarton 12yrs ago.

1st one was unreal. Same yr saw SilverChair at the adelaide uni bar. woot

I went to that - it was on my 21st birthday. Bludged uni and spent the day lining up to get a spot right up front. Only problem was that friends came and gave me presents so I had all this stuff to look after. I was in the second row with one of my female friends directly in front of me and I had my arms either side of her, holding the fence to try and prevent her from being crushed. I withstood the Meanies set and about 10 songs by Pearl Jam before exhaustion & dehydration meant I had to leave and get a drink & rest. Had a great night though, not a typical 21st party.

Hey Dion :mrt: been waiting for you to come online.

No Swineflu anymore, yesterday was my first day out of quarantine!

Did you get the measurements for the gtr bar for me? :)

Oooops I forgotz. I will do it today when I get home, if you haven't heard from me by 4 chuck me an sms.

My first car I was an SLR5000 .Anyway I was looking the other day on ebay to see how much i could get for an SLR ashtray and i was amazed at how much these cars go for these days over 20k for a rust bucket. I wish i had of kept it. It was the only car i sold and made money on it. I sold it for 8000 about 10 years ago and if i kept it they reckon it would be worth about 50000 now.

Thought you might like to see my latest purchase, the new Work Emotion 11R rims, just released in Japan. I'm hoping I'll be one of the first in Oz to get them on a car. I bought some in matt black, 18x9.5 +20 all round for the Evo 8. Should fill the guards reasonably well lol...

I'm a big fan of the SLR and was looking at buying one last year ... but the high price tag scared me off. :D

Still want one tho. Maybe a replica :P

Nah, stayed with my Apexi cat, like Andrew said, no point buying one if I already had a good quality one....

Awesome rims there Kristian, what they going on?

    • 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.
