yeh i have, no problems at all once you send them the money. took a week from when i send the money to when i got the intercooler, if you want the hybrid 660 300 75 then its the best price at the moment. if you look at www.powerdigger.com.au then you will see what it normally sells for.

Did you go through the Ebay secure thingy to pay them or did you just Direct deposit or credit card it? cos for me, that's a lot of money if they decide not to send the cooler.... if you know what I mean.

As for the price from power digger, I have seen them here in Adelaide for the same price in AutoBahn.....

i went to the buy now tab thinking (pay by credit card)but no they will e-mail you with payment details once they get the order or reply from ebay. i got feed up and ended up sending them a money order for 720 postage and handling.

I know its hard to say how much better theyd be, especially considering the vested interest that ARE have in the explanation of their cores and end tanks on their site. However ARE have spent alot of time and money researching their end tanks and own the mouldings for their unique castings. And alot of what they say does make sense. Its good reading, honest :)

I don't wanna diss the Hybrids, theyre still bloody good value. In fact ill take back my comment above :D However most people might not be aware that ARE's previously expensive pricing compared to the Hybrids has recently been revised.

Might be another option for people to consider.

I know that size isn't everything but....

ARE: 520 x 300 x 75 for $878

Hybrid: 660 x 300 x 75 for $690

Not that I have anything against ARE, I've heard that they are really good coolers, but for a stock turbo, it's not like the cooler is going to get pushed to its limits...

      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.
